Dear Parents and Carers

 

Dear Lord Jesus, you are the Good Shepherd who guides us through life. Please help us always to place our trust in you. Amen.

Welcome back I hope everyone managed to get some rest over the Easter holidays and didn’t over indulge in eating too many Easter Eggs or chocolate bunnies.

 

Beginning of Term Mass

Today we attended our beginning of term Mass at the St Simon’s Church. This was followed by a traditional Easter Blessing of all the classrooms by Fr. Jose. Many thanks to Fr. Jose and to all our altar servers and readers.

 

Lenten Fundraising

I am very pleased to inform you that the final total for our fundraising during Lent was £2553.50. This is a terrific amount of money. Well done everyone and many thanks for the generosity shown by all in raising money on behalf of our charities.

 

The Start of the School day

This is a gentle reminder that the school gates open at 8:30a.m and that the school day starts at 8:40a.m. This is the time that our registers open and children are expected to be in their classrooms at this time.

We have a number of children who are often late this can upset and unsettle the children so please can everyone make sure that they arrive to school on time ready for registration at 8:40a.m.

On Thursday 25^th April at 3:30p.m in the Year 2 classroom we are holding a briefing for Year 2 parents and carers to inform them about the Year 2 optional S.A.Ts. which the children will be taking part in. Mrs Hyczko will be able to share information on the process and what parents and carers can do to help prepare their children.

Team Building Workshops

The Uprising Church are working with our Year 5 children on team building activities and workshops throughout this term on Thursday afternoons.
