Year 5 Team: Mrs Bekiri and Miss Gajjar
In Year 5 we are here to help your child grow a love for learning both inside and ourside of the classroom and for them to gain the confidence to become independent learners. At St Paul's we put the mental health and well-being of our children at the forefront of this. In our class we encourage the children to share how they are feeling through the use of open discussion as well as our feeling box and 'shout out' box. I addition, each child has also chosen as 'Special Person'. This is a member of staff they may ask to speak to if they feel the need to.
If you need to contact me, please email: year5@stpauls373.herts.sch.uk

Catholic Social Teaching Principles
Catholic social teaching (CST) is rooted in Scripture, formed by the wisdom of Church leaders, and influenced by grassroots movements. It is our moral compass, guiding us on how to live out our faith in the world. Our faith calls us to love God and to love our neighbours in every situation, especially our sisters and brothers living in poverty. Following in the footsteps of Christ, we hope to make present in our unjust and broken world, the justice, love and peace of God.
As Catholics, we are committed to contributing positively to our society; being of service to others – particularly those that have less and are more vulnerable.
Our class Catholic Social Teaching Principle is Dignity.

Care of Creation The world was made by God, so we take care of God’s creation. |
Preferential option for the poor The ‘preferential option’ means allowing someone to have the first choice. |
Solidarity and Peace God calls us to be peacemakers in the world – to stand in solidarity with those in need. |
Community and Participation As humans, we are made to live in community with one another. This means being active members of the world we live in. We are meant to look out for each other and build each other up. This is how God wants us to live. |
Dignity of Workers Work is fundamental to the dignity of a person. |
Human Dignity Treating someone with dignity means treating them with love, kindness and respect. Everyone should be treated with dignity because we are made in the image and likeness of God. |
