This Week at a Glance

8th May 2023

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We hope you are enjoying the bank holiday!

We have a busy week ahead with a new block of gymnastics commencing for P.1-P.3 and P.4-P.7 on Thursday. A booking notification will be released tomorrow.

Our Friends of St. Patrick\'s PA will be meeting on Tuesday evening at 6:30pm. Please attend if you can give some help to this amazing group of people who work tirelessly to support our school.

We will be meeting our parents of P.1 for 2023-2024 on Wednesday for an information meeting. It is imperative that all parents for the new intake attend this meeting.

Please remember our Primary 7 children in your prayers as they prepare to receive the sacrament of Confirmation this Friday 12th May at 4:00pm.

In our assembly on Friday we talked about May being the Month when we honour Mary, the Mother of God. We have May Altars in our classrooms and a lot of our children shared with us that they have May Altars in their homes. Please send pictures of your May Altars over Seesaw to your child\'s teacher so we can share this wonderful tradition with our school community. Please talk to your child about the Rosary as we are focusing on learning about this wonderful prayer.

On Saturday 20th May our Primary 4 children will be making their First Holy Communion at 10:30am and on Sunday 21st May we will have our annual May Procession in St John the Evangelist\'s Church, at 11:30am Mass.
It would be lovely to have as many of our families attend the Sunday Mass, where our Primary 4 and Primary 7 children take part in the May Procession.

Please keep all our children in your prayers.

Please read the attached week at a glance for more information.

Kind regards
St. Patrick's
