"I think before I make choices that effect my health!"

This week's Statement is:

I try to stand up for myself and others without hurting others.

Year 5 led a very interesting and colourful Liturgy based on the harvest. the children read, sang and prayed together with parents using the harvest produce brought into school by the children as a focal area.

Children nominated an elderly person in their family or street and delivered the harvest parcel once it had been assembled.

The remainder of the food was sent to Hawkesbury House a local care home where we have developed excellent links throughout the last few years. Our head boy and girl were great ambassadors as they delivered the harvest produce to the residents.

This week's Statement is:

I understand that rights match responsibility.

Thank you very much to all those who attended and donated towards this excellent charity which is so important to many people in our school community. This event was really well attended and allowed us to support both the charity and our parents of the new starters who began full time education today!

We raised £57.48 and will be running this event again next year as it was so successful!

Many thanks once again.

I believe that I am special and created by God.

St Peter and St Paul - 29th June

Year 2 really helped us to celebrate our Saint's Feast Day at our weekly Tuesday Assembly. The children talked about both St Peter and St Paul and even had a poem about the two disciples. We sang 'Peter was a Fisherman' and some children did a small role play to show us the meaning behind the words.

What a wonderful assembly - Thank you Year2!

Excellent!!

Our Year 3 celebrated their First Holy Communion on Sunday 8th June 2008. The weather was fine and the children were fantastic! Everyone remebered what the day was really about and the children delighted all their families, friends and visitors with the way they read, sang and danced. Well done to all of Year 3 especially Mrs Temple who prepared the children so well! Thanks also to Father Michael and Father Kefa for helping to make the day so special.

Reception Class enjoyed showing the rest of the school everything they had learnt about Pentecost. They read, sang and acted and put their message across very well. Well Done Reception.

Well done to all of year Five for their excellent liturgical dance to 'My Jesus, My Saviour' which formed part of our Easter reconcilliation service. The children worked very hard to learn the dance and put their own ideas into it. I think that it really helped us to reflect upon what Jesus did in sacrificing his life, so an extra well done to Year Five for helping the school do that. Lets hope that our next dance will be as successful! I'm really looking forward to doing more of this work with you Year Five!

Dear Parents

This is the information regarding all Easter events. Please read on ...

This prayer session was led by Rosie, Yasaman and Sarah G and was based on the theme of 'Love, Trust and Thanks'. The girls chose a prayer for each part of their theme and also had time for participation alongside silent prayers. Rosie wrote her own prayer on Thanks (see below) and the reflective music played was 'Fields of Gold' and 'Autumn Leaves' both sung by Eva Cassidy.

Well done girls - a lot of thought and work has gone into this!

In Reception we have been reflecting upon our first Spring topic of 'Celebrations'. We began with a party! We remembered our personal celebrations like our birthdays and Christmas and discussed the celebration of Mass at church. We concluded our topic with a prayerful and reflective Liturgy in our classroom.

Mrs Brand

This afternoon there was a prayer session held in the school library organised by three year 6 girls, Emily,Shelby and Hannah.

Prayer to make Poverty History

Christ our Lord,
Your light shines into the shadows,
And shows us where the obstacles to change lie,
We know that often they are in our own hearts,
In the way we live, and in our daily choices and actions,
We pray that we may accept the light of your love
as a challenge to change ourseves and our world.
We pray that, each day,
We make the choices and take the actions
that will bring and end to poverty and hunger,
And lead us all towards a fairer world.
Be with us, Lord,
as we face your challenge
and learn to live our lives in love.
Amen

About Lent 2008
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday (6 Feb 2008) and ends with the start of the Triduum on the Thursday before Easter. (23 March 2008)

Christians throughout the world observe Lent as a time of prayer, reflection, fasting and repentance in preparation for Easter.

Year Five led today's Ash Wednesday service at St Peter's Church which was dedicated to the memory of Mr Jim Murray, who was deputy head at St Peter's for many years. The mass was a brilliant success and was enjoyed by the whole school, Mr Murray's family and the parish. The children organised the whole mass themselves by choosing hymns and readings. The service was well attended and the whole school sang beautifully. Year Five read confidently and made their teacher, Miss Alberts, incredibly proud. Mr Murray's family who attended the mass commented on how fantastic the children were and how Mr Murray would have really enjoyed it.

Why are we wearing purple ribbons and where did they come from?

Father David came into school on Tuesday 5th February 2008...
