Book Amnesty
We have a lot of books

No questions asked. Many thanks.
Lost Jersey ~ We are looking for Shaun
Clapperton’s jersey and also a jersey with the name Harry on the tag. Both
jerseys have been missing for several weeks now. Somebody must have these jerseys so we urge
parents to check their child is wearing the correct one. Thank you.
FAITH FACT FOR WEEK 8 ~ Rituals
The
word ritual generally means set ways of doing things. In religious terms therefore one of its
meanings is virtually identical to that of rite. Ritual can also mean the whole body of rites
in use in the church. Thus there is a
text called the Roman Ritual which lays down general principles for worship in
the Catholic Church.

2 Class Happenings
Arrrr, today is
international “Talk like a Pirate Day”!
We have been
pirates all day, we made some pirate hats and telescopes and the children have
been hunting for treasure!
Our treasure
today is double letter words. That is where two letters are next to each
other in the same word, like in look, little, all and parrot.
Our phonics sound
today is ‘ar’. This sound is found in words like park, party, farm, are,
Karly and Harding.
Ahoy! – Hello
Aye – yes
Nay – no
Shiver
me Timbers!
Oh
my Goodness!
