Dear Parents/Carers

Year one and two enjoyed a special Welcome Mass with Sacred Heart pupils on Wednesday this week. We enjoyed reflecting on the start of our year and the journey ahead with our new Federation in place. Pupils enjoyed listening to Deacon Michael and we thank Deacon Michael and Sacred Heart for inviting us. Below is the prayer that year 2 wrote and read out.

Dear Lord,
We thank you for a restful summer,
We thank you for the new school year,
We thank you for our new friends and happiness,
We thank you for all the fun things we learn in our new class,
We thank you for the opportunities to learn challenging maths,
We thank you Lord for giving us a school that makes us feel welcome and happy.
Amen.

Deacon Michael will be joining us every Tuesday from next week for class prayers. You will see Deacon Michael around at the start of every Tuesday, please do come and say hello.
