Year 6 joining in with Mass.

On Monday 29th June the children who were in school from Nursery, Reception, Years 1, 6 and Key Worker children joined in with many other schools all over the Archdiocese of Birmingham in celebrating Mass with the Archbishop, His Grace Bernard Longley.

The Mass was live streamed via St Chad’s Cathedral in Birmingham and the Mass was in celebration of The Good Shepherd and also celebrated the Feast Day of Saints Peter and Paul.

The children had prepared for the Mass by learning the hymns so that they could join in with the special Mass.

Well done everyone.

On Tuesday 17th March the children from Year 3 led our whole school Mass which was celebrated by Fr Louis.

The children did a wonderful job of reading, sharing prayers and acting to help us come and be close to Jesus.

Well done Year 3!

Year 5’s altar display

On Tuesday 3rd March the children from Year 5 led our whole school Mass celebrated by Fr Louis.

The children prepared lovely prayers and readings along with acting out the gospel to help us understand the message.

The children also create a lovely altar display for us to focus our thoughts and prayers.

Well done Year 5!

The candidates enrolled

On Sunday 1st March, during our School Parish Mass, children from Years 3 and 6 along with children from the Parish enrolled to receive the Sacrament of either First Holy Communion or Confirmation later this year.

It was a lovely Mass led by the school and was very well supported by staff, children and parents.

We will keep the candidates for either First Holy Communion or Confirmation in our prayers and they continue their preparations.

Years 3 and 6 together

On Friday 28th February the children from Year 3 shared their special planned gathering with their prayer partners form Year 6.

The gathering had a Lent theme and was planned by the pupils in Year 3 who planned the music, readings, display and even a booklet about Lent to share with their partners.

Year 6 were very proud of Year 3 and all of the effort they had gone to to make the gathering so special during this Holy season.

Our altar display

On Wednesday 26th February the staff led a special Ash Wednesday Mass in school which was celebrated by Fr Louis.

For a change the staff, not the children, led the Mass by reading prayers, readings and bring the offertory and the children thought it was wonderful!

One Year 2 child commented to Mrs Cheema after lunch on the playground that he thought she read her reading beautifully!

Year 6’s altar display

On Tuesday 11th February it was the children form Year 6 who lead our whole school Mass in school which was celebrated by Fr Louis.

Well done Year 6!
