Dear Parent/Carer,

St Joseph’s Day

The Parish are holding a social evening and curry night in the parish hall on Saturday 19^th March at 7.00pm after Holy Mass.  There will be a starter, main course with a choice of roast chicken or curry followed by a sweet.  The cost per head will be £10.00 for adults and £5.00 for children under 12.  Tickets available from the Presbytery.

Sacrifice Beads

Everyone in school will receive a coloured card which has been threaded through 10 beads.  These beads are called ‘Sacrifice Beads’.  The idea of these beads is that at the end of every day, the ten beads will have been moved to the opposite side of where it started in the morning.  You move a bead to the opposite side of the cord every time you’ve done a good deed.  Not only are they used in school, you can use them where ever you wish to.  The children are responsible for their sacrifice beads and if they lose them, then they will not be provided with another one.  We encourage children to use them as much as possible and hopefully they will take good care of them.

Thank you.

Raise Money for Lifeskills

On Wednesday 24^th February, Y6 went to Lifeskills Centre which is a place where children can learn how to stay safe in different everyday situations. But Lifeskills needs to raise money to re-develop the centre’s facilities, so all children in the area can have the opportunity to visit. This is a life-changing experience as this will help children to stay safe in the future.

Y6 are helping Lifeskills to raise money by inviting parents/guardians and governors for tea and cake on Wednesday 16^th March from 2:45pm. This day will also include a non-uniform day (with a suggested contribution of £1). Infants (YR, Y1 and Y2) will get the chance to dress up as their favourite emergency services team.
