Throughout the day the children took a break from their normal timetables to enjoy reading activities and to celebrate the world of books and literature. There were a wide variety of talks for the children, all relating to reading, including a buddy reading session and an exciting workshop with Bigfoot.

Later today it is the annual and very popular 'Let Girls Play' event after school on the field! It would be great to see as many girls there as possible, including family members, to encourage girls to play football. Mr Rochford will bring as many footballs as we have at school but if you have a football please bring it along. Our girls football club will be there to support and lead at the event. We look forward to seeing you there.

A week ago our Year 6 pupils received their offers for secondary school places for September and we are delighted to report that 35 out of 48 children in the year group were offered their first choice. There is always a lot of movement at this time of year as waiting list places become available.

Children from Years 1 to 6 will split into their houses and children that would like to perform will perform to their House. Our House Captains will then pick some acts to represent their House and perform to the whole school. We are asking the children to perform in groups where possible to allow more children to take part.

We want this to be a fun distraction and children can practice during break and lunchtimes. The children will be given more information on how to sign up over the next couple of weeks but can start coming up with ideas. The event will give children across year groups to come together in a supportive environment either as a performer or spectator.

Next Week's Gospel Value is:
Gentleness:
Loving God,
when our boat is rocked
on the sea of life,
by poverty, illness or disaster,
you quiet the waves,
calm the storm,
and lead us safely to shore.
When we work hard,
for our daily bread,
but at the end of the day go hungry,
you walk alongside us,
calling, "cast out your nets",
knowing there is enough for all.
When we are lost,
and uncertain of how
to make a change in our world,
your words ring out:
"Come, follow me",
guiding us to new life with you.
Lead us then, Lord, to play our part
in calming the storm
and sharing your gifts with each other,
so that all people throughout the world
may look to the future with hope.
Amen
