Dear Parents,

Ascension Day Mass

We are hoping to hold our Ascension Day Mass outside, weather permitting, on Thursday 26 May at 9:15am. If the weather is good, we are welcoming parents into the mass as it is outside. Should the weather be poor, the children will attend mass in both key stage one and two department halls. We cannot accommodate parents with all children just yet in our halls so should the weather be poor, mass will be held inside for children only. We are really hoping for good weather.

Year 3 Sacramental Programme

Congratulations to Mrs Needham and Mrs Jennings’ class who made their First Holy Communion on Saturday. This weekend, Miss Slater’s class will make their First Holy Communion. Please pray for our children as they receive this special sacrament.

Well Done Year 2!

Well done to our Year 2 children who have been working so hard in school during SATs. The children are all putting in lots of effort and should feel very proud of themselves. Keep letting your light shine Year 2!

Year 6 Personal Safety Sessions

This week the Year 6 children took part in a personal safety session. The session included a safety talk covering awareness skills, and how to stay safe as independence grows. This is particularly important as our children prepare for their secondary education.

Sports Day

We were pleased to be able to hold some of our sports sessions this week. It was good to be able to highlight the importance and fun we can have whilst doing physical activity.

As it rained on Monday, the junior sports day has been rescheduled for Friday 17 June:

• 9:30am – 11:30 am Year 5 and 6 Sports session
• 1:15pm – 3:15pm Year 3 and 4 Sports session
