Friday fun

We had a very busy Friday!

Philippines Caritas Lent appeal
Thank you very much for your support .
The children came dressed in the colours of the Philippines flag, and a good amount of money was raised for the Philippines.

The two best dressed students chosen from our class by the judges were Mia and Jane. 

Donkey Parade
Next we had our annual donkey parade to celebrate Palm Sunday. 

This was the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. The people of Jerusalem had heard Jesus' wonderful stories and seen his amazing miracles, so they were very excited!
Some people spread their coats across the road for Him. Others waved palm branches as if to welcome a king. The huge crowd of people stood along the road shouting "Hosanna to the King! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!". 

The children at St Mary's were lucky enough to see a real donkey too.

 

 

Rice lunch

Then we had rice for lunch with the rest of the school.

After that we had wheels day for Golden time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Religious Education (RE) books

Last, we had a look through our RE books to make sure they were up to date. Please look through your child's RE book with them and write something positive to them about their work.

It is really lovely to have RE as a core subject in our curriculum at St Mary's. I'm sure your child enjoys RE and learning about God. 

Can RE books please be returned to school on Monday.
