Week Beginning 23rd May

On Tuesday we will visit Our Lady and St Anne`s Church for 9.30 am Mass along with the Communicants from Our Lady and St Anne`s School. There will be juice and cake in the Church Hall afterwards and it would be lovely if as many parishioners, Prayer Partners and  families could join us.

Homework:

Hope you   sent out your Thank You Cards last week. I got a few which was such a lovely thought.

Reading Comprehension, Spelling and Maths Homework Sheet for Thursday please.

Our Very Special Day of Retreat 10/5/16

With just four  days before we receive the Holy Eucharist we went on a day of prayer, play and preparation. The sun shone and helped to make this day so very, very special.

Weeks Beginning 2nd  -14th May

Lots happening concerning First Communion. We’ve daily Mass Responses, Hymns and Logistics right through these two weeks and thanks to Mrs Daly for coming to the school with her supply of music !! Please go over the three hymns sent home in schoolbags  and encourage Mass Responses when you get to Mass over these two very important weeks.

On Tuesday 10th May, Communicants will visit Holy Family  Centre on Retreat which is an ideal way to celebrate, thank  and pray for our intentions. Full school uniform including outdoor clothing, a change of shoes ,a packed lunch and, if required ,£1 Tuck Money  required. Looking forward to this very prayerful , peaceful and playful day .

In Our Lady And St Anne`s Church you will see our First Communion displays of which we are so proud. Don’t forget to look out for your child`s “chalice” and why not add your name to the list of Prayer Partners below your child`s picture ?

See you all next Saturday and please keep us all in your prayers.  Thank you.

MR STINK  26/4/16

Mrs Brown is back with the class until the 20th May and the children have been enjoying reading the book and watching the DVD of Mr Stink.  The children are also using role play and drama, and are having fun acting out scenes from Mr Stink.  The class have also been improving their reading skills by visualising, inferring and connecting with the story.  Over the next few weeks, they will be using the skills of comparing to find similarities and differences between the book and DVD.

We will also be exploring the themes of bullying and homelessness that run through Mr Stink in our Health and Wellbeing and RE work.  The children are enjoying exploring what makes a good friendship and how best to cope with any difficulties they face. They are developing their ICT skills and have created fantastic drawings of Mr Stink using Colour Magic!!!  Please see above.

To kick off our Money topic, we enjoyed a visit to the local shops, where we learned how to budget.  We found out it was cheaper to buy a ready made pizza than to make our own! Watch this tasty space.

Homework – please see diary.
