Thursday’s thoughts... 5th March 2020 www.holyfamilysalemoor.co.uk

Not forgetting Year 1 who took part in the Greater Manchester music hub vocal project based on the book

‘The Princess and the Pea.’ They took part in the performance, dressed in costumes, linked to the story. There were Queens, Kings, Princes, Princesses, peas,

cooks and even a duvet cover!!

The Year of the Word

Celebrating living and sharing God’s word

A prayer you can say with your children during

Lent.

Heavenly Father, Thank you that you are a generous God and that

you give us so many good things. We are sorry that we are not always

generous with others. Please help us this week to be kind, to do our very

best, and to be generous when we are helping others. Amen.

The week started off with some African drummers

who talked to the children about the different drums

and instruments and their origins. The hall was full

of music and amazement as the children were so

engrossed with the drummers. All the children got

up on their feet and moved to the music. It was

lovely to see and we know the children learnt so

much. Throughout the week as well as their normal

curriculum topics the children have learnt about

different aspects of Africa through English, Maths

and Geography to name just 3 areas!!

Wow, what a fantastic

book week never mind a

day!! This week the

whole school have

focused on the book

Amazing Africa’ by

Atinuke.

Attendance really does matter to us ...

Well done to the Year 2 children who represented

Holy Family School last week at a football tournament.

Miss Shingler said they played well and showed good

team spirit.

I would just like to give a polite reminder to parents of

taking greater care when driving with your children in

the car. Last week a parent was seen texting whilst

driving with their child in the car. I know this is your

choice to do so, but please think of the consequences

if there was an accident caused, ,because you were

sending a text message. We care about Respect.

We have been reminding the children of the importance of

washing their hands with soap after going to the toilet and

before they eat. We would appreciate it, if parents can also

relay this message. There is plenty of soap and paper

towels in the toilets. We do not use the electric hand dryers.
