Dear Parents and Carers
“The Holy Spirit helps us to view others with fresh eyes, seeing them as brothers and sisters in Jesus, to be respected and loved.” Pope Francis
This coming Sunday, we will be celebrating a great and joyful feast, Pentecost Sunday. It is the feast of the gift of the Holy Spirit to the Church, a gift which we now receive at Baptism, Confirmation, and at Mass. The children are all invited to attend 10:00a.m. Sunday Mass in the parish to support the parishioners in the celebration with their singing.
Year 2 and Year 6 SATS
This week Year 6 and Year 2 completed their SATS. The children should all be congratulated on how well they performed during these. They all gave their very best and showed great resilience and a great attitude to this work. Well done children!
Well done to all the school staff who have worked so hard to prepare the children for the SATS.
School Football
The school football team were in action last Friday playing against John Wesley Primary School and despite going 3-0 down at half time the team fought back hard and the game ended up a draw at 3-3. Well done boys.
The team will be in action again this week playing against St Mary’s on Tuesday 21st May. I am sure that they will give their best.
Unfortunately, the Football Festival the children were supposed to take part in this Friday has had to be postponed. This was a very disappointing for the children. Hopefully this will be rearranged soon.
School Meals
This is a gentle reminder to all parents from our catering company if you have to pay for school meals for your child you need to make sure that you credit your ParentPay Account in advance. They can not provide meals for your child if your account is not in credit.
Congratulations to our school Kitchen Staff we had a routine inspection from the Environmental Health Officer this week and we have again been given a 5 Star rating. Well done team!
School Photographs
On Wednesday 22nd May the school photographer will be visiting to take class photographs of the children. This is always a favourite especially for our Year 6 parents as this is the last chance to have a whole class photograph before the children move off to different secondary schools.
With best wishes
