We find out what Matthew was like before he decided to follow Jesus and what happened to him when he did. He had a big transformation in his life and decided to use what he was good at for the benefit of others. I challenge you to do the same - use what you are good at for the benefit of others. Remember to "Do your best, never give up!"

We all had a good think about what we are good at and how we can use this to make the world a better place! Have a great week everyone - 5A! ##### 6B *22 September 2025* We took time to talk about our gifts and how we could share them. We spoke about always being honest, for example when Matthew made people pay extra and that we must be fair. We spoke about sharing our gifts and celebrating ours and others' gifts! ##### 6A *22 September 2025* In our class we are good at rollerblading, teamwork, tidying up, being kind and friendly, and football. ##### 4A *22 September 2025* We are going to help others by sharing what we are good at with other people. We thought of lots of things that we are good at like: Swimming, Maths, reading and drawing. ### 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://stmatthewspreston.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
