(The Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year A)

A Story About Planting Seed

That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. Large crowds gathered around him. So Jesus got into a boat and sat, while the people stayed on the shore. Then Jesus used stories to teach them many things. He said:

“A farmer went out to plant his seed. While he was planting, some seed fell by the road. The birds came and ate all that seed. Some seed fell on rocky ground, where there wasn’t enough dirt. That seed grew very fast, because the ground was not deep. But when the sun rose, the plants dried up because they did not have deep roots. Some other seed fell among thorny weeds. The weeds grew and choked the good plants. Some other seed fell on good ground where it grew and became grain. Some plants made 100 times more grain. Other plants made 60 times more grain, and some made 30 times more grain. Let those with ears use them and listen!”

Matthew 13:1-9

End of year reports are ready for the children today (Friday 10th July). Those children who are in school will be given their reports at the end of the school day. For those who are not in school, reports will be available to collect from today (Friday 10th July) until Tuesday 14th July from the school office between 9am and 3pm. Any reports not collected by Wednesday 15th July will be posted to home addresses. Please note that these reports reflect the children's work in school up until the end of the spring term as well as any efforts that have been made over the summer term with remote learning.

Details of your child's new class and teacher can be found on the back page of the report.

We cannot hold face to face parent/carer and teacher meetings to discuss reports this year but if you would like to speak to your child's teacher about their report please contact the school to make an appointment to speak to them by phone.

We have worked very closely with the Stephen Lawrence Trust for some time and we would like to share with you a valuable resource that they sent to us this week. They advise that you read through the articles yourself before showing your children as not all of the articles are suitable for younger children, mainly due to them being aimed at adults and therefore the language and vocabulary may be too difficult. We would urge all of our community to read and take the time to think through the issues raised in the articles, thank you.

We all have the Power to Make a Difference
