Weekly News Friday 24 March
Dear Parents and Carers
Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for the gift of everlasting life. Please help us to be more compassionate as we journey through Lent together. Amen.
Congratulations to our Year 6 pupils who arranged an activity afternoon for all the other children. There were lots of activities to choose from e.g. penalty shoot-out for those who like their sport, guess the object in the box and guess the number of eggs in the jar.
All the children enjoyed the afternoon. Well done Year 6.
Next week we are holding our annual Easter Egg Raffle and I must thank everyone for their generosity in donating Easter Eggs for the raffle. One family generously donated over 94 Easter Eggs which is fantastic.
Raffle tickets are now on sale in all classes.
