Dear Parents and Carers
“If we are close to Jesus, we will have joy in our hearts and a smile on our face.”
French Cafe
This week our Year 6 children ran a “French Café” for the children in the other classes. This enabled the children to practice their French and also sample some French cuisine. This activity proved very popular with all the children. Well done Year 6 and Mrs Macdonald and Miss Freeman for organising this with the children.
Multicultural Week
With our world becoming a very troubled place it is very important that we all learn about different cultures and religions so that we can learn to more fully appreciate and respect other people.
The children have been learning a great deal over the course of the last fortnight and I have been very impressed with the learning that has taken place.
The children have displayed some of their learning in the school hall and today Year 1 and Year 2 took part in a Shabbat meal which is celebrated on the day of rest in Judaism.
Why not ask your children about what they have learnt or pop into the hall and have a look at the display work?
School Choir at Mass
This Sunday 19th January the children are invited to support the parish with their singing at the 10:00 a.m Mass. It would be lovely if as many children as possible could join as their singing and presence at the celebration helps to make the occasion even more special.
Parent Governor Elections
This is a reminder we have two vacancies for parent governors on our Local Governance Committee. The role involves attending termly meetings, attending relevant training as well as supporting the monitoring of different aspects of the children’s education.
No special qualifications are needed, the most important thing is to have a keen interest in the school and be prepared to play an active part in the Governance Committee work.
For more details, please read the invitation letter sent home which can also be found on the Latest News Tab of our website or speak to me or any of the Local Governance Committee.
Issue in our School Kitchen Fully Resolved
The issues with the extraction system in our kitchen has been fully resolved- the severe cold weather caused an electrical fault in the extractor fans on the roof meaning the gas supply to the kitchen is automatically cut off. This has now been fixed so we should have no more issues or problems.
With best wishes
