Trip to London
A glorious time was had by Year 6 on the trip of a lifetime to London. Stopping off first at The Royal Opera house in Covent Garden, the children watched a performance of Hansel and Gretel. Then onto an open-top red London bus to see all the sights!
Feast of Epiphany
This morning we 'chalked' our school door. The Church has a custom of blessing homes on the Feast of the Epiphany and the weeks following. We gather to ask for God's blessing on our homes and schools and those who visit them. It is an invitation for Jesus to be a daily guest in our comings and goings, our conversations, our work and play, our joys and sorrows. We chalk the following letters above the main entrance 20+C+M+B+25 The letters C,M,B have two meanings - they are the initials of the three Magi, they also abbreviate the latin 'May Christ bless this place' + represents the cross and 2025 is the year. The Blessing: The three wise men, Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar followed the star of God's Son who became human two thousand and twenty five years ago. May Christ bless our school and remain with us throughout this Jubilee Year. Amen.
