BIG thanks to Miss Harris & her fantastic IT skills who produced the finished video! 👏

Today we begin the Easter Tridium, beginning with Mass of the Last Supper. Tonight, across the whole world, families who usually gather together in Church, are no longer able to do so in person; however, where ever we all are; we might not be together physically, but we can be together in Prayer! 
 

As Jesus prayed with his Disciples, we pray for all those who are suffering or for those who have died from this awful virus; keep them in your prayers during these uncertain times. 
 

Tomorrow, as we celebrate the Passion of the Lord, my thoughts turn to all our children in school; who would have performed the Passion with such reverence & grace; asking us to journey with Jesus, as he takes up His Cross! 
 

Let us pray that the Resurrection of the Lord on Sunday, brings hope into our homes during this time and peace to all those who are suffering. 
 

May all our wonderful children, OLSK families, staff and Governing Board, have a truly peaceful Easter. Love from Mrs F 💕 God Bless you all. 🙏😊🙏
 

There are some great daily reflections to use at home with the family during Holy Week. These will help us to focus on Jesus in his final days - leading to his crucifixion on Good Friday.

Have a look at Year Three's Class Pages/Home Learning/Holy Week Reflections.

Don’t forget to join Father Des at 5pm tonight or 10:30am tomorrow for Palm Sunday Masses. 🌿🙏🌿

We may not be together but we can pray together! #loveolsk ❤️

This Holy Week there will be no public Chrism Mass or washing of feet on Maundy Thursday, no public veneration of the cross on Good Friday, no public Easter Vigil. But what we can do is live Holy Week at home. Here are some tips on how you can enter into the spirit of the week. Follow the link .....

Our first Weekly Worship & Song is tomorrow! Dan and Emily from One Life Music have kindly prepared a time of prayer for us to share whether we are at home or at school.

A poem from the Earth 🌍 

Fear not dear people of this land, I will never cease to turn,
Support each other through this time, take time to grow, to learn. 

My lands became a busy space, no place for nature’s rest,
This plague it over runs you now, 
but from me it is no test.

Humanity both old and young, share time in hidden spaces,
But look outside, a shoot has sprung,
In their absence nature graces.

The skies are clear, the birds can soar, collecting for their nesting,
While humanity waits behind closed doors, 
my lands out their are resting. 

No winged machines engulf the sky, with people land to land,
Now the swallows can migrate,
 and with their young they’ll stand.

No wheeled machines on concrete paths, that paint my landscape grey,
A hedgehog guides her young across , they look, they run, they’re safe. 

The air above united lands  is clear and at its best, 
The trees don’t have to work so hard, 
even they can rest. 

When Mother Nature came to me so many years ago,
She promised us a place called home, she brought sun rain and snow.

Too many years have gone by now,
upholding all she could,
She was trodden down and over run,
And at a halt she stood.

Mother Nature, please help them now, I know you hold no grudges, 
Help the people on my lands, for they will not be judges. 

Help take back this vicious plague where people fight for breath,
And in return humanity,
will make sure you still rest. 

How scared they’ve felt behind closed doors, it’s paused their thoughts and cheers,
They get it now, a humble link, they share with you their fear. 

So Mother Nature do your thing, do what you do best,
Overturn this vicious plague,
And they’ll promise you can rest.

 While most of us are staying home at the moment, a handful of children are still coming to school each day so that their parents who are 'Key Workers' are able to keep working.

Have a look at what we've been up to earlier in the week!
