A Big Thank You from #LlanHumGoals

Matthew's House

Spring 2022

This term our Pupil Voice group #LlanHumGoals have met to discuss what has gone well and what we can do next term. We believe that our Matthew's House video was very successful and we enjoyed promoting the donation and would like to do this again in the future.

Pupils discussed the SDG IQ they completed at the start of this term and felt that this helped them better understand the SDGs. Next term we would like more links to SDGs in Big Question and in other books. Pupils are looking forward to their next topic and feel there will be plenty of opportunity for good Humanities lessons.

A big thank you to our Humanities group for all their hard work this term!

Autumn 2021

This term our Pupil Voice group #LlanHumGoals have met to discuss what has gone well and what we can do next term. We discussed how we could promote and support Matthew's House going forward next term. We also discussed Christmas and how we could donate any unwanted gifts.

Pupils discussed how Humanities is being taught in their Pods, different IQs they have completed this term and what we can do to improve them going forward.

A big thank you to our Humanities group for all their hard work this term!

Llan Hum Goals

We have met up to discuss the successes of our term and what we can do in the coming term to continue to promote Humanities within our school and the wider community.

Harvest 2020

We were extremely happy that this term our Harvest day was a massive hit in our Pod's. We had so much fun and would really like to plan a day like this again next year.

Matthew's House

We are so grateful for the continued donations to Matthew's House, even after Harvest.

We have decided to start a '0 waste' campaign to ensure that nothing goes to waste and everything can be used/re-used. We will be promoting this after Christmas, so if you have any unwanted food (non-perishable) or toiletries after Christmas you can send them to our food bank.

Dragon Clothes Bank

Thanks to all who have been dropping off and filling up or clothes bank! We have had 2 pickups this term, which is excellent.

If you are having a sort out before Christmas don't forget to bring the good quality clothes and shoes to our clothes bank which is opposite Mrs. Whitehead's office window.

Have a very Merry Christmas and stay safe,

Autumn 2020

This week #LlanHumGoals have met to discuss all things Humanities.

We have decided to continue to support Matthew's House again this year. If you can, please help us support this great cause by donating any of the items on the list. Thanks to all those that have already donated!!

To help to bring funds into our school #LlanHumGoals have made it their mission to promote our Dragon Clothes drop-off bin - this is situated in the yard by Mrs. Whitehead's office. Did you know that the school will get £50 for every full clothes bin?

The members of #LlanHumGoals have informed Mrs Walters that there is a lot of Humanities based activities taking place during IQ, challenge reading, and choice and challenge. Da iawn!!

Have a great Autumn.

How to support Matthew's House.

Target 1
Develop more opportunities for the development of RE skills across the school
We enjoyed having more RE especially assemblies from Open the Book. We also enjoyed taking part in learning about Matthew’s House a Christian organisation that collects and provides food and clothing for the homeless. We enjoyed a visit from Swansea Mosque who were making a collection for the underprivileged in Swansea. We enjoyed knowing more about Islam as the guests explained about Ramadan, Eid and the Muslim religion. Alongside Father Tim we had planned another Multicultural Week with guests from different religions and faiths. During IQ Time we have completed an RE IQ so we can work on our RE knowledge and skills.

Target 2
To develop critical thinking skills in pupils across all AoLEs
We really like using the HABER so we can work on our critical thinking skills. We have liked sharing our ideas and what we think. We have called these Big Questions. We have uploaded videos to the school website recording answers to the Big Questions.

Target 3
To Develop a consistent approach of daily worship
We really like Kinship time which is what we have decided to call daily worship. Some Pods do this time during the end of the day or sometime during the school day. We like having time to think, reflect on the Big Questions.

Autumn 2019

This term we have been helping to promote Matthew's House.

Matthew's House and Matt's Cafe help to feed people in Swansea who cannot afford to buy food.

We have successfully promoted our 'Festive Bank' to help encourage people to donate non-perishable food and toiletries. With your help we have donated over 20 bags of goodies!

This term we have also enjoyed regular meetings to discuss and promote SDG's and to look at the exciting work we have been doing in our EPIC books.

Don't forget to look out for #LlanHumGoals on twitter for our latest news.

Hospitality & Hope in the heart of Swansea Matthew’s House exists to provide a warm and welcoming building in the heart of Swansea, with the expressed intention of being accessible for the homeless and most vulnerable in Swansea. We aim for it to have the feel of a home where hospitality is experienced by all who enter the doors, regardless of their background, beliefs or circumstances.
