Religious Life of the School
Our Friday morning assemblies continue each week, when the school comes together to reflect on the word of God and to participate in class led presentations.
A schedule of the assemblies for this term has been sent to all parents so that you know what is coming up!
Congratulations to Reception who performed so beautifully on stage this morning. They spoke out and sang their hearts out. Well done!
First Holy Communion
The First Holy Communion for our Year 3 children took place last Saturday 18th May at 10am and 1 pm in our parish church, Pius X.
Thank you to Mr Lynch for coordinating this programme and to Miss Harris and Mrs Harwood, the class teachers who prepared the children on their sacramental journey.
I am sure you join with me in wishing our Year 3 children well as they continue their sacramental journey.
RE Home Learning
Using the Wednesday Word link below, read this Sunday’s Gospel
and reflect on the questions below with your family.
You will have an opportunity to discuss them again next week in School.
https://www.paperturn-view.com/uk/wednesday-word/messenger?pid=MTA101634&v=5.5
Gospel: The last message of Jesus (Matthew 28:16-20)
- Why do you think some of the disciples hesitated before they bowed down before Jesus?
- What did Jesus want them to do? How do we know they were successful in doing this?
Gospel: The Last Supper (Mark 14:1216)
- This is the story of the Last Supper. What else happened that night?
- Where can we go to take part in the Last Supper today?
Gospel: The family of Jesus (Mark 3:20-35)
- Why was Jesus’ mother and his brothers worried about him?
- What did Jesus say when he was told that his family were outside looking for him and what did he mean?
Attendance
Our attendance since the start of the school year is 93.4%. This is very disappointing and I have been meeting parents this week whose children’s attendance is a cause of concern.
Well done to all of you who continue to attend regularly.
Please ensure that your child is at school every day unless he/she is unwell.
Every request for holidays in term time has to be turned down. Pupils are expected to attend school for 190 days each year and every time a child is absent, they are missing out on vital learning opportunities.
Safeguarding
As safeguarding is our primary concern, if you are unable to collect your child at the end of the day, it is essential that you let us know as early as possible. The office staff needs time to communicate the change of plan with the class teacher. Nursery and Reception parents will be asked to provide a password to the office and to the person collecting their child/ren.
World Day For Cultural Diversity
Thank you to Corrine in the kitchen who cooked wonderful Caribbean food which we all enjoyed.
Acension Mass
Last week we celebrated the feast of the Ascension with Mass and a wonderful assembly from 4H.
Nursery Detectives
Have you seen Tara? Nursery have been detectives looking for Tara and putting up posters. Tara has been spotted all over school. Luckily Mr Lynch found her in the end!
Year 5 Into University Focus Day
Year 5 had a wonderful time at their Into University Focus Day. We learned all about Space and explored what conditions are like on different planets. At the end of the day we designed and made homes to suit the conditions of different planets. We had so much fun. Thank you IntoUniversity
