It’s hard to believe that we are now into the last week of term. It’s been a busy few months and the children have made a really great start to the year. Parents and carers will have the opportunity to meet with their child’s teacher on Thursday evening. I look forward to seeing you there.

Today is the first day of our Book Fayre. A wide selection of books for all ages will be on sale in the main entrance area between now and Friday. The children will have the opportunity to visit the Book Fayre at various points during the course of the week and it will also be open during Parents’ Evening this coming Thursday.

Finally, today is the Feast of the Holy Rosary. I’d like to invite parents, pupils, staff and friends to take a few moments today to pray a decade of the rosary for the needs of St Bartholomew’s Primary. We have a great team here at St Bart’s, but we are always in need of God’s grace and strength.

‘Don’t worry about anything, but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking him with a thankful heart.’ (Philippians 4: 6)
