This week we have welcomed Allesshia to St. Stephen’s as our new chef. At the moment Lou is supporting Allesshia in her new role.
We are really proud of the boys’ football team who secured their first win against St. Ambrose Barlow on Monday, with a final score of 5-2. Congratulations everyone! Some of the boys even managed to get a photo with Ella Toone! Good luck to the team in their next match on Monday against Sacred heart. On Monday we also had a group of Y6 girls taking part in a lacrosse taster session. It was lovely to hear that the girls were commended on their attitude and manners. Well done!
On Tuesday morning we had many of our family members from Year 1 & 2 join us for worship. This week we have used the story of Ruth and Naomi to remind us about thinking of others before ourselves.
On Wednesday Mrs Peake accompanied some of our Year 4 girls at a Zumba taster session. She was really impressed with the group and they had a great time. Well done everyone! Zech was the first member of our school to win the golden welly award this week.
Next week is our last week before the half-term break. On Tuesday morning we have family worship with Years 3 & 4. All family members are welcome to join us in the hall for refreshments beforehand. On Wednesday morning we look forward to year 4’s first brass performance. Again family members are invited to join us in the hall for refreshments before the performance at 9.15am. On Wednesday afternoon members from Church will be leading ‘Open the Book’ worship. On Thursday we have our school discos. You can continue to make the £3.00 payment on ParentPay. Junior children will have a ticket given to them, and Infant children will go on our list in school.
Next week is the last week of the current after-school clubs (with the exception of choir) and a letter will come home at the start next week about next half-term’s clubs. Next week is Children’s Mental Health week, and the theme this year is ‘This is my place’. We will be focusing on this and sharing some resources with you. It is also safer internet day next week, and we will share more information about this with you next week.
Looking ahead to next half-term, our next parent/teacher meetings are being held on Tuesday 3rd March from 2.00pm. Following the launch of our new website, you will have received an email from Juniper to create an account. It is important you set up your account prior to the booking system becoming live.
