Good Friday

Today is Good Friday.

Today we remember the day that Jesus was crucified. It is a sad and serious day when we do not have special treats; some families might fast or avoid meat and the church will have no flowers and the statues might be covered. Today we observe the Stations of the Cross and we will hear the story of the Passion.

Maundy Thursday

Today is Maundy Thursday.

Today is the first day of the Triduum, when we remember the Last Supper. During the Last Supper, Jesus shared a meal with his disciples and then washed their feet.

Yesterday, you performed the story of the Last Supper brilliantly at St. Thomas More Church. Keep this in mind as you reflect on the story of Easter this weekend.

A Wonderful Easter Liturgy

Well done for your fantastic performance today. It was a truly special and moving recreation of the Easter Liturgy. The readers were clear and confident, the acting was sensitive and believable and the singing was incredibly beautiful. Well done! We are all very proud of you.

Tomorrow is the last day of term- we will have our CARE awards assembly! Remember to bring in a carrier bag and if you haven't yet spoken to your French penpal on Skype you need to be in at 8:30am tomorrow morning. You can all bring in a small toy tomorrow- nothing electronic, battery operated or valuable please! School will close at 2pm tomorrow!

Happy Easter!

We went to St. Thomas More to watch Year 5 and the choir tell the story beautifully last week.
Here are some lovely pictures of the beautiful stained glass windows you made with Mrs Herrera last week, depicting scenes from the Stages of the Cross.
