Family Mass


Well done to Year 6 for leading their Enrolment Mass this morning.
You made your Enrolment Promise very clearly before the rest of the Parish.
It was also a great oppotunity to hear and reflect upon the Beatitudes which we heard about in the Gospel.
Well done to all those who came and sang in the choir. Year 3, it was fabulous to see so many of you. Don't forget those House Points that Mrs Aldred gave to you all.

This week in RE

This week in RE we will be looking at the liturgy of the word. Where do the first and second readings come from?
We will be using this video and this bible extract to help us! The video is of a story you know well!



This is an example of a Second Reading:


Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 1:1-3, New King James Version)
