LITURGY MATTERS
Today we went over to church for Year 4’s Mass about forgiveness. It was a lovely Mass
with super reading, good behavior and singing. Thank you Class 4, Mrs Collins and Mr
Mallinson. Thank you Fr Paul and the parishioners for making us so welcome and there
was a great turn out of parents, grandparents and friends too, thank you all for coming.
ASSEMBLY
Yesterday Class 1 showed us all the wonderful things that they had been doing in class.
I was sorry to miss it as I believe that the glockenspiel playing was particularly good.
Thank you Class1. Miss Chapman, Miss Seton Jones and Mrs Hogan for all your hard
work.
REFLECTIVE VISIT
Thank you to all the staff and children for their cooperation during our Reflective Visit
with Dr Andrew Morley and Mrs Goodwin from Mottram Primary, they were really
pleased with things that they saw and have given us some hints and tips to help us
continue to improve.
CHARITIES
Thank you for all your recent generosity. On Friday we raised £165.21 for Comic Relief
and £207.88 for Cafod.
Magdalen Centre
PARENTS EVENING APPOINTMENTS
Appointments for Parents Evening have been given out this week, please check bags and
pockets!
UNIFORM
Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring that all our children wear smart school
uniform. A quick reminder that uniform consists of grey trousers or skirt, pale blue polo
shirt and dark blue sweatshirt. If anyone is buying shoes for the warmer weather can I
remind you that they need to be black and suitable for playing out in… no open toes or
high heels, they are not safe on the playground and field.
ALL SAINTS CATHOLIC COLLEGE
Year 5 children have been invited to ASCC to see their production of Hairspray on
Monday 23rd March. This trip will be taken in school time.
BRASS BAND ASSEMBLY
Our brass bands will be in action on Friday 27th March in the School Hall at 2.30pm,
All welcome.
EASTER EGG RAFFLE
As usual we would like as many children as possible to leave school for the Easter
holidays with an Easter Egg, If anyone is able to donate any Easter Eggs for our
Easter Raffle we would be very grateful. The raffle tickets will be on sale during the
last week.
SPORTS CLUBS
It is great that so many children are joining in sporting clubs. If a child signs up
for a club then they really need to give a commitment to that club and attend
each session and it is really important that you let us know if a child is unable to
attend
Terri’s Sports Club This half term is volleyball.
Volleyball Children have been chosen to represent school at Volleyball on Wednesday
25th March, letters to follow, this is a new event for us!
Cheerleading Cheerleading will be on on Wednesday 11th for Y4. 5 and 6!
Swimming The TCSSA Swimming Gala was a wonderful evening with everyone
swimming really well and 3 medals! Well done Tabitha and Conor.
KIT AMNESTY
We have some school sports kit missing, please could you look at home and return any
that you find. We have 6 pairs of shorts missing and football shirts numbers 2, 5 and
9. We can’t compete if we don’t have the correct kit.
Just a reminder that school teams are chosen on sporting ability but this
opportunity to represent school is dependent on good behavior in class and at
breaktimes.
PARKING
Please could we ask that all parents park their cars on the church car park and walk
down the path to school. The school car park is only just big enough for the staff. Even
turning a car round in the school car park could be dangerous to a child. If anyone is
picking up your child please could you let them know where to park.
PLEASE can you be aware of children crossing Underwood Road when parking.
