Our Reception children have been helping Mr Duncan and the police in trying to solve the mystery of who broke into their classroom last week! Lots of mess was created and some items were stolen (Golden Goose & Golden Harp to name but a few). The culprit left their finger prints so they should be identified soon. I’m sure our Reception children will get to the bottom of this mystery!

Thank you to everyone who joined us at St Mary Magdalen’s church to celebrate our children’s KS2 Easter service. It was such a lovely way to end the Spring term and to be reminded of the true meaning of Easter. I wish all of our school community a very happy and holy Easter and I look forward to seeing you all at the start of the Summer Term.

Mr L J Duncan

Our school ‘Mini Vinnies’ visited Beachcomber (local residential care home) at the end of the term to hand deliver Easter cards to the residents. All of the cards were greatly received and it was lovely to see so many happy faces and smiles!

Well done to all those who entered our Easter paste egg competition. All the entries were fantastic and very original – what creative young people and parents we have at St. Mary Magdalen’s! Although all the entries are winners in our eyes –  a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place was awarded for each class. All entries will receive a well done prize in assembly on Thursday. If you would like to see some of the eggs on show please take a look at the ‘School Events’ section of our website under Classes. Alternatively you are always welcome to pop into school, at the end of the school day, before the eggs go home on Thursday.

Easter Egg Donations

Thank you to everyone who donated a chocolate Easter egg for our end of term class raffle. We have had a great response and our children certainly now have a great chance of winning an egg!

Our Year 2 children carried out a very prayerful class liturgy this morning on the topic of ‘Special Meals’. Afterwards parents were welcomed to join the children in sharing a special meal. Thank you to all those parents who attended.

Congratulations to our new ‘Mini Vinnies’ group who were commissioned in a very special and prayerful assembly this morning. The assembly was lead by the children with the support of Mr. Wilcox, who is a member of the SVP society, and our local SVP community member, Mr Denis Rooney.

There will be a service for the Year of Mercy held at St. Mary Magdalen’s Church on Wednesday 16th March at 7:00pm. All parents are warmly invited to attend. A leaflet will be given out to the children to take home outlining the details shown below. I do hope you are able to attend.
