Catholic Life and Reflection

Usually, I know what I want to write about in the newsletter a few days before hand. This week it has been a bit of a struggle.  As many of you know we lost one of our lovely parents to cancer. She was always full of joy and love, especially for her two lovely children. So, I was at a bit of a loss and not feeling the usual excitement of celebrating Book Week.

Due to some very creative costumes from staff and a friendly visit from a dog dressed astronaut, we were laughing so hard before we even went out to lines this morning. The students were having the best time guessing what everyone was dressed as. It has been so long since we had a book parade and were able to celebrate as we did today. Our day was full of joy!

The final surprise was that my Year 6 boy, Callum, insisted on being a Thing from Dr Suess. I thought it was a bit unusual but ok, we bought what he needed. When I got to school, l I looked out and saw that about 18 kids in his class had also dressed up as Things!!! The lovely Miss Wormald had offered to do it.  As a keen scrapbooker it made me so happy to see and take lots of great photos! When I thanked her, she let me know that the mum who passed away this week knew it was going to happen and helped out. The perfect circle of joy.

May she rest is God’s love and peace.

Many blessings,
