Family Mass There will be a parish family Mass on Sunday 19th March at 9:30am – the Bishop is visiting St Bernadette’s Church on this weekend too. All children and families are invited to join us for the Mass. The school music group will be playing and children will say the readings and bidding prayers. It will be a lovely opportunity to celebrate Mother’s day together.
Parent Consultations Please complete this evaluation form regarding RE in the school. We really appreciate your time and support with this. https://forms.gle/uibcAhdgsARrTMUr5
Punctuality Please ensure your children are in school for 8:40am when the school gate closes. Phonics and reading sessions take place at this time of the day… every second counts!
Easter Egg Raffle The Easter Egg Raffle will take place on the last day of term. Raffle tickets cost £1 per strip. Please add your name and phone number to the back of the strip before it is returned to school. We will be collecting eggs immediately. Please donate as many as you can. We have issued letters/raffle tickets this week. The children often say this is one of their favourite St Bernadette memories!
Strike Action. NEU are planning 2 day strike action on 15.3/16.3. We currently plan to open school as usual but some classes may have formal education disrupted.
This week
Our amazing Y3 children completed their swimming sessions, we were so proud of them and so many people commented on their endeavour in lessons and politeness!
The children all took part in a wonderful book swap as part of our world book day celebrations – hope you all enjoyed your swapped book!
After half term – dates for your diaries
School Anniversary The school’s 50th anniversary is in March, but due to the date falling during Lent we have moved our celebration to April 20th and 21st.
On April 20th we will have a Mass in school for children in school and all past and present staff and Governors of St Bernadette’s – this is an invitation only event.
From 3pm-5pm on Thursday 20th April, we will have an open house for anyone who would like to come and celebrate with us – this will be adults only as we won’t have space to accommodate children at this event.
On Friday 21st April, the children will be invited to dress in 1970s clothes for school and join in our ‘Top of the Pops’ party and we will lead several 1970’s themed activities to mark the anniversary of our special school.
King’s coronation celebration We will celebrate the Kings coronation on Friday 19th May. The Mini Vinnies will host our special VIPs from the SVP. The children will be invited to come to school in their party clothes.
