‘Safe in God’s hands, we share our PEARL values’ 26th June 2020Dear Parents and Carers,So as another week comes to an end, we celebrate all the great things pupils, parents and staff have been doing this week. It has been a week of exercising our bodies for ‘National School Sports Week at Home’ and our minds for Maths Week. Thank you to everyone who enthusiastically took part in both events. Several of you were feeling competitive as you joined in with SUMDOG Maths Competition and our Sports Quiz on Dojo. As this quiz was so popular, we will come up with different themed quizzes to test you!

Our Y6 pupils have settled in to their weekly routine now and we look forward to welcoming back Reception pupils next week on Monday and Tuesday. Year 1 pupils will then be invited back to school on a part time basis also.

On Monday, it is the Feast of St Peter and Paul. Peter and Paul were both friends of Jesus, but their lives were very different. Peter, a fisherman in Galilee, was first named Simon but Jesus gave him the name ‘Peter’, which means ‘rock’. Paul, a very religious Jew from Tarsus, was first called Saul.

Feast of SS Peter and Paul

Saints Peter and Paul were leaders and models in strengthening the faith of the infant Church.

We ask them to pray for our faith to grow stronger and stronger every day.

O holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, intercede for us.

Protect, O Lord, your people who trust in the patronage of your Apostles, Peter and Paul, and by their constant protection, protect your people. Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
