Term One, Week Six

The week ahead promises to be an exciting one!  This week marks the start of our Easter celebrations with Shrove (pancake) Tuesday and Ash Wednesday.  I can't wait to see what your cherubs come up with for their Lenten promises!

What’s On?

  • Our Library day is Monday.  Remember to bring in books for changing or renewing. Bags are essential! Even a plastic shopping bag.  The Library Bag Challenge is on and we are contenders!

  • Homework will be sent home on Monday.  It is to be returned the following Monday.  Keep up the excellent daily reading up! 

  •  Shrove (pancake) Tuesday.  Bring along a gold coin to purchase a pancake.  All proceeds go to our CARITAS appeal.

  • Ash Wednesday.  Prep - Year Two will attend an Ash Wednesday liturgy where a palm ash cross will be placed on each child's forehead.  We will make Lenten promises in class on this day.
