Latest message from your teachers...

Week beginning 1st June

Hello Everyone,
We hope that you and your families have had a fantastic half term and found lots of things to keep you busy and happy.

This is week number 8 of our home learning and we have planned plenty of activities to keep you enjoying your learning.

We start off with a story all about the letters that the Jolly Postman delivers to characters from well-known traditional tales.

Can you guess who might be on his list?

It was lovely to see so many of you back in school today and for those of you not able to be with us please don’t forget to send us an email and some photographs if you can so that we can see how brilliantly you stay-at-home champions are making S=P+A+C+E for your learning.

With love from

Mrs Morgan, Mrs Sumsion, Mrs Wichmann,

Mrs Hernandez, Mrs Lyon and Mrs Vadala

Worship ideas

As you think about making time each day for worship, you might start by asking Mummy or daddy to help you make a prayer table or corner – somewhere that you can be still, comfortable but still, not distracted by anything going on around you.

You might want to set up a “table” – a real one or the top of a chest of drawers or even an upturned box, cover it with a cloth if you can and maybe place your Bible stories on it, maybe your Rosary beads or a crucifix if you have them.

Plan your worship time…

How will it start – maybe with a prayer – use our School prayer book for inspiration and ideas.

Share a passage from the Bible or a Bible story. The Gospels are always good to read. We are still in the season of Easter and the Readings this year come from John’s Gospel.

Take time to stop and think about what the Gospel writer or story is saying to you about Jesus and maybe decide on soemthing that you are going to do to change the way you behave or think about things to match Jesus’ teaching.

You could sing a hymn that you know or find one on the internet to sing along to and take the time for prayer.

Pray for yourself, for your family, for your friends. Pray for our doctors and nurses and all those who are working so hard now to keep us all safe and well. Pray for our world.

There are lots of good links for more ideas here

This week in school we would have been enjoying our Transition Day, a chance to be in our new year groups with our new teachers. We cannot do that in person but here is the PowerPoint to support your home learning activities around the transition. Please don’t forget to bring your completed learning booklet back to school in September for your new teacher.
