Our teacher will always back us if we tell the truth. If we lie, we may not be trusted. ##### 4C *14 June 2021* In Y4 we have looked at Jesus being the Light of the World. We thought he was called that because he guides people, keeps people on the right path and also performed miracles. ##### 6W *14 June 2021* We should remember to be truthful and choose the right path. Life can be much easier when you choose to tell the truth. The guidance of God can help us to make the right decisions. If Loki was to tell the truth more he may have had a better time in his life. From all in 6W ##### Mr Mackley *14 June 2021* Thank you for your comments everyone. I am so pleased that you have such a good understanding of the importance of telling the truth and how we can look to Jesus as our 'light' and guide! ### Leave a Comment - [![Artsmark Award](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/Am_Schl_Gld_RGB.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![EAL Quality Mark](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/EAL_Silver.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![Halo Code](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/halo_code.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) ##### Location New Hall Lane Preston Lancashire PR1 5XB ##### Contact Us 01772 794482 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587761925215) - [X](https://x.com/mackley_ma56490) © Copyright 2018–2026 St Matthew's Church of England Primary Academy and Nursery School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
