What's Happening Week Five?

Great to see so many on their bikes today.  We practised running, biking and the run/bike transition in a patch of brighter weather, so that everyone should know what to do on Thursday. We will be training again tomorrow weather permitting.

Discovery Time: The theme this week is "little acts of kindness" - this sits well with the beginning of Lent and also with our value of compassion for this term.  What ideas does your child have? - we did talk briefly at reflection time last Thursday. We will plan the activities tomorrow, but as the Triathlon is on Thursday, the Discovery Time will be next Thursday.  Thank you Sue Bridges for your help with the "all things water" last week.

Ash Wednesday:  We will be attending mass at 9:15 in the church.  Please come and help us celebrate the beginning of this special season in the church calendar.

Thursday 6th: A visitor from CARITAS will be speaking to us in the morning and we will head for the triathlon at 12:10 by bus. School sports gear should be worn - no uniforms today. Please be sure to have your child's bike at the Molyneux Aquatic Centre by 12:20.  Hi viz jackets should be worn on the run and bike leg of this event. We have one parent who has indicated that they are available to marshal - we do need more if we are going to be able to run this event.  Make sure that your child has warm clothing to put on after they are changed from their swim. Parents are able to take their children home directly from the event - please let me know before you leave.

Friday 7th Our Assembly: We are the host class at 2:10 in the hall. We are putting together a mime of a Gospel story and will share some singing and work that we have done.  It would be great to see you there.
Mr Milford will be working with us on bus safety on Friday morning.

I hope that those of you who want to be notified of any posts, have added your email addresses to the gadget at the top of this blog page.  Looks very easy now that it's there. I would be interested to hear whether it is working, as I decided to use the blog to notify everyone about Shane's cricket information, as well as by hard copy note.
