HEADTEACHER’S NEWSLETTER
Dear Parents,
Tomorrow we will be hosting our summer fair. Please support us tomorrow 12-3pm and join in the fun! Please also see attached a detailed map to help you plan your visit.
Year 3 Celebration Mass
School Values: Make a Difference Be Passionate about Learning Be Kind Be Respectful
This week, the children celebrated their Thanksgiving Mass. It was a wonderful occasion to give thanks for everyone who has supported and guided them on their journey towards receiving the Sacraments of Reconciliation and the Holy Eucharist.
A special thank you to Canon Jonathan, parents, grandparents, sponsors, and staff for their unwavering support and encouragement during this important time in the children's faith journey. Their guidance, dedication, and prayers have helped the children prepare to receive the Sacraments with confidence and joy.
Sunshine, Smiles and Sport!
School Values: Make a Difference Be Passionate about Learning Be Kind Be Respectful
This week, all our children enjoyed a fantastic Sports Day, taking part in a range of exciting events and challenges while showing great enthusiasm, determination, and sportsmanship throughout the day.
The atmosphere throughout the events was filled with excitement, encouragement, and team spirit. It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces, determined performances, and proud moments of achievement as children gave their best in every event.
A huge thank you goes to all staff who helped organise and run the days, especially Miss Morris, our Sports Teacher, as well as our dedicated pupil sports leaders and supportive parents. Most importantly, thank you to our amazing children, whose enthusiasm, effort, and fantastic participation made the events such a success.
Staying Safe in the Sun
School Values: Make a Difference Be Passionate about Learning Be Kind Be Respectful
As the weather warms up, please take note of the following reminders to help keep children safe, comfortable, and ready to enjoy their school day:
Water Bottles: Children should bring a clearly labelled water bottle each day to stay well hydrated.
Sun Cream: Please apply sun cream to your child before they come to school. If you would like them to reapply it during the day, send in a named bottle and inform the class teacher.
Sun Hats: A labelled sun hat is recommended for outdoor activities to protect children from the sun.
Named Clothing: Jumpers and cardigans are often taken off during warm weather. Please make sure all clothing is clearly labelled to help avoid lost items.
Summer Uniform: Children can wear their usual summer uniform. Full details can be found on our school website.
Thank you for your continued support in helping us keep the children safe and comfortable during the summer term.
