Week 28 Monday 24th April, 2017 (HT5)

Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome back! We hope you all had a happy and Holy Easter! We are now in the season of Eastertide and you will see white cloths in and around school to remind us of Christ’s triumph and glory.
Mrs Tomlinson is recuperating at home now and is making a recovery after her operations. Mrs Binns is also doing well after having received treatment. Please remember them both in your prayers.
We are looking forward to seeing you at our Celebration assembly this Friday! If you have received a text inviting you , please do let us know if you are not available to attend and we will rearrange a convenient date for you to come in and see your child receiving their certificate.
Sincerely,
Mrs Ashworth

Our Family Prayer for the second week of Easter
God of truth, fill us with your Spirit and strengthen our faith, so that we may not doubt your love for us. Give us courage to spread your peace throughout the world.
Amen.

St Mary’s Behaviour Policy
Our updated behaviour policy is now available on the school website. We have spoken to the children about expectations and particularly; about making sure we always look smart in school with shirts tucked in, black school shoes, no nail varnish and any hair bows, preferably in school colours.

Morning Routines
Please may I remind all families that they should stay with their children in the school playground at the start of the day and not leave them unattended. We are very concerned that there are a large majority of children who are dropped off outside school and are left to make their own way into the playground. The school day begins at 8.45am when the doors open and until this time children are your responsibility.
Please look after your children until the doors open.

Houses
We are working on even more house events which recognise a range of different talents and we will be holding an inter– house competition on Friday 26th May.
The events have yet to be finalised but will includeof a range of activities including music, drama, writing, maths, debating and sports. These events will be accessible by every child.
