Dear parents and carers,

This final week of Summer Term 1 started with our whole school collect I’ve worship when we reflected on the solemn feast of Pentecost which we are celebrating this Sunday. On Tuesday, Year 4 children visited the Science Museum and took part in a workshop on the human body and the digestive system. On the same day, a group of girls from Years 5 and 6 took part in a Girls’ Football Competition, playing 6-a-side football against teams from other local schools.

National Numeracy Day

On Wednesday all children took part in different activities to mark National Numeracy Day to better understand the importance of Maths in real life situations. On the same day children were invited to come to school wearing something green to reflect on the importance of Mental Health and things they can do to ensure they look after themselves in this wellbeing aspect.

Worship News

Today Class 4J led an informative Friday class assembly which included sharing what they have learnt recently about the importance of the rainforest and a re-enactment of Saul’s conversion to Paul on the way to Damascus.

This week we have also received the Report for the Catholic School Inspection that took place last month on the 24th and 25th April. We are very happy with the outcome. On behalf o the Governing Body and myself, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their contribution in whatever role they played towards this Inspection process. Reading the report shows how everyone at English Martyrs’ contributes towards building a community based on the Gospel Values, something that we all value greatly and something that makes a big difference for so many.

We are now ready for our Half Term break. We’ll meet again on Monday 1st June.

Thank you and have a good half term week!
