Sunday 15th March

This week, we held our termly Eucharist Service.  It was lovely to welcome visitors from the church and school communities to join us for the service and share communion, together, for those that wished to. Father Chris led us through a service that made us consider The Lord’s Prayer.  This is a prayer that we say regularly in school, and refer to as our Family Prayer.  Father Chris explained that it is called the Family Prayer as it brings all those of Christian faith together, in the unity of one prayer.  We considered what each part of the prayer means and what we are asking for when we say this prayer.  The children listened and engaged very well and as with all of Father Chris’s assemblies, very much enjoyed the musical responses and joining in with familiar and new hymns.

We have had a lovely week, enjoying the sunshine of Spring and celebrating World Book Day. We have all had a great time talking about our favourite books and book characters. The activities were a huge success and there was lots of healthy competition in the literary orienteering.  Thank you for all of the donations to the Book Swap – it was great to see so many children going home with a different book to read.  Football books were particularly popular, this year! We had some brilliant costumes – please do visit the year group pages for their photographs and updates.

I am very much looking forward to meeting with school council representatives, next week, to talk about behaviour in school and our behaviour policy.  This will complement the work that we have been doing with parents and staff to help inform our new behaviour policy, that we hope to launch before the start of next school year.  Thank you to all of those who contributed their thoughts and observations via the parent survey.
