Holy Week is the most important week in the liturgical calendar, but it too is the most important week in our school. Each day this week, we have been touched deeply by the performance of our children as they have told the story of Jesus’s passion. From the peace at The Last Supper, to the anguish of Gethsemane. The dispair of the Crucifixion, to the hope in the Resurrection. I hope that those of you who came to see it felt it deeply. I am so proud of the children and the teaching team who created the memories of this week. The photographs below speak for themselves. During the holidays, our Worship Area is being decorated. We will be proudly displaying some of these photos as a symbol of our faith.

Over the past few days, Mrs Shields has been busy counting the lenten box money. So far, we have raised over £1200 for CAFOD. We will update you with the final total after half term.

At the end of each term, I like to share with you the prayer and liturgy from the term. It is so important to me that we come together as a whole school community; our prayer and liturgy is central to this. Shine Jesus Shine has been a firm favourite for sure!

Learning Role Models of the Week

In the midst of such a busy day, our certificate and virtue winners did not have their photos taken. We will do this on the first day back.

We had our first parent virtue winner - Mrs Couch who has taken our chicks home to be rehomed. Thank you for your generousity. The chicks have been a really welcomed addition to our school community this half-term. The children have loved seeing them grow from being born.

Our Weekly Attendance

Well done to Year 3 & 1 who are our winners for the term!

Finally, we had our very first Our Lady Easter Egg Hunt today. The Easter Bunny kindly dropped off 240 chocolate eggs, each with a child’s name on, that all needed to be found somewhere in the school gardens. It was enormous fun!
