During the month of November
We remember all of the people we have loved who have died and give thanks for the special place they have in our hearts. To remember those who we have loved and who are no longer with us, members of the school community may wish to write the names of their loved ones on a card attached to the special knitted poppies displayed in the front Welcome during month of November. Cards are available from the School Office.
Remembrance Day was celebrated last Friday 11th November – A huge thank you to all Year 6 students, Ms Vlajankov and Mr Fearnley for the preparations and the Order of Service conducted in each classroom. The Year 6 students led the service with pride and great respect. The Service concluded with a minute’s silence at 11.00am, laying of a handmade knitted poppy wreath and the playing of the Reveille.

Luke 23:35-43
Jesus is crucified under the title King of the Jews.
As a Church, we conclude our liturgical year and celebrate the Feast of Christ the King this coming weekend. The Gospel we proclaim shows the great mystery of our faith: In the moment of his crucifixion, Jesus is shown to be King and Saviour of all.
Next Sunday is the Feast of Christ the King. We call Jesus our King, but he is not like the kings and queens of countries. Jesus is the King of Heaven and the Son of God. He shows us the way to eternal life.
In next Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus is dying on the Cross. Only one person recognizes that Jesus is our King. Jesus offers us eternal life in heaven with him. When we believe in him and know his words are true, we honour him as our King.
