A huge thank you to all our mums who spent their Mother's Day baking and selling cakes, to raise funds for Mary Stevens Hospice! Over £500 was raised this weekend! Well done to all involved.

 

Thank you again, to all those who did the baking and all those who bought these delicious cakes- yummy! 

This morning, as we begin the third week into our Lenten Journey, Mrs Finnegan held a whole school retreat; reflecting on our journey so far, forgiveness, hope and peace. Children sat in silence for part of the service and sang hymns to reflect on Jesus' journey to the Cross.

What big ears you have! What big eyes you have! What big teeth you have! 

Staff dressed up as their favourite book characters for World Book Day today, to celebrate the love of reading! Everyone had a great time sharing their favourite books with the children! 📚💗📚 Can you guess which books they love? 

Congratulations to all in Y5, who rocked the Birmingham Town Hall, with their amazing singing 'Night at the Movies!' All nine schools who took part were proud ambassadors for their schools and our Catholic community. Well done Y5, we are really proud of you!

WINTERY WEATHER

We hope it won’t come down in heaps……but the snow may creep in on us anytime. If school does ever close, the decision will always be made at the earliest opportunity.

You will be notified through the school text system if we are closed so please ensure we have the correct mobile numbers! Please make sure that you also have 'Plan B' in place to collect the children should we need to close at short notice, at any time during the day! 

 

Please check your mobile phone first before thinking of calling. It is likely that if we are shut, no-one will be here to answer anyway!

 

However, if we are able to open, please ensure your child has a coat and wellies if they want to join me, the staff & the rest of the school on the field, making snowmen! 

Although we are very thorough in our teaching of internet safety, we are very aware that not all our children put this into practice when using the internet with their friends! In this digital world, where everyone is using the internet to either communicate with friends & family, store pictures & videos etc...if it is used sensibly, it can be a wonderful tool to use! However, the minute you stop using it sensibly, that's when you can get yourself into all sorts of bother and put yourself and other at risk of serious harm! 

 

Many of our children have received wonderful new electronic gifts for Christmas; but parents, I urge you to talk to your child about staying safe on the internet- it can be a very dangerous place, for young children to enter... please follow the link  for more advice...https://www.nspcc.org.uk/preventing-abuse/keeping-children-safe/online-safety
