Multicultural Week May 16th –May 20th NEXT WEEK

As part of our interviews with the children, they have said how much they have
enjoyed studying different aspects of the Polish culture. This has been part of our
curriculum due to the increased number of Polish children in school. Recently the
children asked us if we could also study some aspects of other different cultures, so
we have agreed to hold a multicultural focus week each year. The focus this year will
be the Black/African culture. If anyone has any particular skill, expertise or resource
in this area and they would be willing to share it with us, or if they have any other
information, please contact school.
Thanking you in anticipation.

The Little Church at St. Peter’s

The Little Church at St. Peter’s on Sunday mornings at 10am Mass. Following the Pope’s visit
we are trying to engage in a greater outreach to members of the Parish who may need a little
extra encouragement. The Little Church helps to engage the children, to meet new friends,
and to become familiar with the Parish Community and its workings at Mass on a Sunday
morning. It also helps the parents who may wish to attend Little Church themselves or
remain in church for the Mass. The children return to the church in time for the Offertory
Procession. While in the Parish Hall with the Leaders the children learn prayers, sing hymns ,
and listen to the Readings of Sunday. It also helps the families for Parish Preparation of the
Sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation. All of this is an additional tier to help
parents with their responsibility in the Catholic upbringing of their children. See you on
Sunday

Sacred Heart Church

Their is also a children’s group run each Sunday for the young church community at
Sacred Heart Church.

Change of Contact Details

If you have a change to your mobile phone number or any contact details for your child can
you PLEASE
let Mrs Bowker know as soon as possible. Last year when we had the bad weather and school
had to be closed, we used ‘Text 2 Parents’ and it worked very well, but for this system to
work we need up to date information.

Bicycles
It is lovely to see children coming to school on there bicycles but, can parents please
NOT let the children ride them in the playground, at any time. Children must
dismount before they come in the school gate and only get back on after they have
left the play ground. This is for the safety of ALL concerned.

Summer Fair
PAT are organizing a Summer fair for Wednesday 6th July keep a look out for more
information.
