In this Sunday’s Gospel we focus on being COMPASSIONATE just as Jesus shows us. We hear about the time Jesus discovers that His dear friend Lazarus has died and how Jesus weeps for him and his family. Jesus shows great compassion towards them and therefore we look to do the same towards others. In Year 1 we have been trying to be compassionate to each other, just like Jesus wants us to. The children have been thinking about each others feelings and trying to go that extra mile to help. In RE we are journeying to the cross with Jesus, the children led a beautiful prayer and liturgy all about the Last supper linking to their learning the previous day, we passed around the bread and gave thanks you Jesus for taking away our mistakes and always helping to be the best that we can be.

Going deeper in conversation

In My Happy Mind we are learning all about APPRECIATION. Who do you appreciate and why? How do you show your appreciation for them? Is there anything extra you could do to let them know how much you appreciate them?

Magic moments

Today we have had such a special morning. We are half way through Lent so it was a perfect time to celebrate mass together to reflect on our Lentern journeys so far. Following mass we went and shared a wonderful coffee morning in the parish centre. We met such lovely parishioners who the children sat and spoke to and drew special easter pictures for them.
