What a varied and exciting first week back. The children were certainly refreshed and raring to go. It kicked off... (Euro 2016 pun). ..with Communion Mass preparation. Where Y3 and 4 sang their hearts out to get the hymns perfect for the Mass on Tuesday. The readers bravely volunteered, practised and then took their readings home to make sure they were well prepared for the Mass.
The Mass on Tuesday went well. It was lovely to have parents and the Y3s there to support the Y4 children as they celebrated with their school their recent Sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation. Fr Richard spoke to the children about the importance of the Sacraments and how his own were still very clear in his mind. The children read well and the singing was gentle and beautiful.
The children all took part in the St Vinnie's Euro 2016 competition. They all played very well and supported their friends in other teams throughout the day. The finals will be played on sports day. There will be other matches over the next couple of weeks for the runners up.
This week the children will all take part in a European week where they will research a country, look at money, time and statistics in Maths. Complete a holiday brochure in English and learn more about Spain through language, culture, salsa dancing and food tasting.
Thank you to Erin and Philip who prepared a presentation from their holidays...both children visited Scotland.
They did a fantastic job well done!
Football Fun! The Euro Competition followed by the England V Wales game- a moment in History!
