Family Mass

Well done to everyone who managed to come to parish mass today.

It was great to see so many children from year 3 in the choir and sitting in the congregation.

Holy Souls Card Company meeting 4

Today we completed our business plan.
We discussed that we need to buy, card, envelopes, shiny cover, Sacramental pictures for Holy Communion and Confirmation and labels

We talked about conducting market research (asking parents) if they would but the cards and how much they would be willing to pay. We thought about how we could sell these cards to our parents, create our own shop or bring them out at the end of the school day.

Lent

We made our class Lent promise just before we broke up for half term. We will share these in assembly on Tuesday.

This week in RE we will be looking at the story of the son of the widow of Nain.
