A funny sort of week but nonetheless busy! You may have noticed that Frances and Emma have been missing this week…poorly. The good news is that they are much better. Everyone has been praying for a speedy recovery
Year of Jubilee 'Pilgrims of Hope’
Every 25 years, we have a Jubilee Year, a moment of significance in the Church when we refocus and open ourselves to special graces. This Jubilee Year is entitled ‘Pilgrims of Hope’. It started on 24th December 2024 with the opening of the Holy Door in Rome. In school we have decided to changes our classrooms doors into Holy Doors of Hope. This week nursery completed their door…take a look, we are very proud.
Next week we ‘hope’ to take a ‘pilgrimage’ to look at everyone else’s door. If you would like to find out more and join our Pilgrimage click here.
Michelle’s Blog
Hello everyone and welcome to this week's blog
We have had such a busy week. This week we met number 5 and have explored how many ones are in five.
We have also found out about how letters are delivered. We wrote 2 letters, one to Barbara and one to Mrs Gregan last week and we walked to the post box to post them. They were both surprised and delighted to receive their letters in the post.
It has been Chinese New Year this week and we couldn't resist the chance to try some Chinese food and to dress up as we performed a dragon dance.
Mr Murray worked us hard in PE as he taught us how to throw overarm . He was very impressed with our throwing skills
In worship we continue to learn how simple acts of everyday kindness really do help make the world a better place. See if you can catch your child being kind this weekend.
Have a lovely weekend and we will see you next week

Meet Number 5
We have had great fun meeting 5 this week.
Five arrives to get the band together-and gets the party started-with a big high five!
We learnt:
that 5 is one more than four
to count objects to 5
to subitise 5 objects
to line up and order 1to 5 in order
We also started to look at more number bonds.
4 and 1 equals 5
3 and 2 equals 5
4 ones equals 5
We are now practising writing the number 5. Here’s the rhyme to help you.
5-Down and round then line up high, high five. Don’t forget to keep practising the numbers 0-4 too!!!
Chinese New Year
This week we have been finding out about Chinese New Year. We learnt that Chinese New Year is the biggest holiday celebrated among Chinese people. It is often referred to as the spring festival because it signals the beginning of spring. It is a time when families and friends get together to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. We then celebrated by eating Fortune Cookies and prawn crackers….mmmmm yummy! We even made red (a lucky colour) Chinese Lanterns.
Then we did a Chinese Dragon Dance…such great fun! Take a look at the photos! We were having so much fun Mrs Gregan had to pop in to see what it was all about!
We had so much fun we asked Reception and yr3 to join us. Year 3 played the music for us and we danced, watch our video below:
Parent Day
This term Parent Day is being held on Friday 14th February. Key persons will be available all day (9.00 am - 3.30 pm) so please sign up for a time slot (20 minutes per family) throughout the day. The appointment sheets will be brought out each evening after school. We look forward to seeing you for a catch up.
Book bags
Could I remind everyone not to bring back packs to nursery as they are causing a blockage in the nursery entrance. A blue Our Lady book bag fits neatly into our storage boxes. They can be purchased form Top Marque on Park Road, St Annes. Thank you.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend and a well earned rest.
Stay safe and God bless.
Barbara
