WORSHIP THEME - FORGIVENESS
‘Forgive us for doing wrong, as we forgive others’
(Matthew 6v12). The Lord’s Prayer
We all need forgiveness – there is no limit to forgiveness
As we begin to prepare for Easter, our worship theme for
the next three weeks is forgiveness. Children will be
learning that everyone makes mistakes – we are all
human! As a result everyone needs forgiveness.
Furthermore, forgiveness should have no limits and we
should be forgiven and forgive others. Children will learn
the story of the prodigal son, who although was silly and
made many mistakes, was forgiven by his father.
Forgiveness can be hard: the other son in the story felt his
brother should not be welcomed back or forgiven but that
is what God calls Christians to do. Our key Bible verse is
again taken from the Lord’s Prayer.
HEADTEACHER UPDATE
It has been another busy week in school with lots
going on and children taking part in lots of great
activities.
NETBALL TEAM
Last week we heard that the netball team had
qualified for the finals of the High 5 Netball
tournament at St Leonards Academy. The team were
up against 12 other school and played brilliantly with
great team spirit and excellent sportsmanship.
Although they did not win
their excellent attitude was
noted and I am very proud
to say that the team won the
Fair Play Award—a fantastic
achievement. Well done!
This just goes to show that it
is not only the winning that is
important but the attitude
and way in which you play—
a
great
example
to
everyone.
GOOD LUCK and WELL DONE!
Good luck to Gwen and Molly who are both running
in the mini marathon on Sunday for Pestalozzi.
Well done to Mak for a great performance on his bike
in the southern cross country series in which he came
6th out of 42 competitors. Well done Mak!
HASTINGS FESTIVAL
Lots of children from school have
been taking part in Hastings
Festival. Well done to all the
children who play the piano and
keyboard who have lessons with
Scott—you did really well. Also
well done to Ella and Erin (Y5)
who also both took part and performed well.
CHOIR
The school choir also took part in the festival, and
although they did not place they sang beautifully
and behaved impeccably representing the school
brilliantly. Well done everyone.
HOBBIT PERFORMANCE
On Friday we had a performance of the Hobbit from
a visiting theatre company. The quality of the
performance was brilliant and we are hoping that
they will be able to visit again next year. It is lovely
for the children to see a live performance and to see
classic literature brought to life.
OFSTED UPDATE
I have received a draft Ofsted report to be checked
for factual accuracy. This is the last check before the
report is released so I am very hopeful that the final
report will be with us very soon and hope to be able
to share it with you this week.
Gold Book Award for Outstanding Work
Here is Summer’s acrostic poem:
STARS
Shimmering stars shining in
shimmering motion,
Twinkling away like they are having
a boogie,
Amazing sights getting bigger and
bigger,
Raving away on the dance floor of
infinity,
Stars dancing to the beat of space.
