The Ursuline Academy Ilford

Our Laudato Si Committee helped to clean the vegetable trug in the courtyard this week and also helped to tidy the Chapel Garden. We have a lovely wild garden forming and many of last years plants are coming out again with a few new additions on the way! We are looking forward to seeing all the colours come out over the coming weeks and all the lovely wildlife and birds too. Thank you Sofiia and Bella in 7C for all your hard work with this and your great enthusiasm!

Our Jack Petchey winners for February and March are Chidera in Year 7 and Aishwarya in Year 8. Both students epitomize what it means to be SERVIAM "I will serve" They are incredibly hard working students who have shown great resilience in the past and are fantastic role models to their peers and staff. They are very kind and friendly to everyone around them and are a joy to teach. Well done girls ! We are very proud of you.

Our students have been focusing on our Ursuline Student Profile Value " - Listening and Attentive" They have been thinking more about how they listen to others in class and in their homes and communities. Are we always focused and taking in information or are we distracted by other things? Some of our students have created these displays which highlight some of their thoughts on this very important value. "We can actively listen by focusing on what others are saying. We should try not be distracted by our surroundings" "When we are speaking with others we should not be distracted by using our phones. We should try to be present in the moment and make the other person feel like we are really listening to them
