This week the children have had their first full week at school. As I said in my blog last Friday, starting school is a huge milestone in your children’s lives and it is not without its challenges. There are new routines and expectations to learn, new friends to meet and for some a longer day to contend with. Overall, I am so happy with how well the children have coped with these changes this week and they should be very proud of themselves.
We have seen many acts of kindness this week, from sharing toys to checking in on a friend if they have been upset. This has been glorious to see and it fills me with hope for the year ahead. Fundamentally we want our children to love one another, be kind and be happy. This is what we teach the children each day. By sending your child to a Catholic school you have ensured they will be taught in a loving, caring and safe environment centred around our Gospel values. It is these values that we would like the children to live daily.
Next week, the children will attend church for the first time with school for a ‘back to school’ mass. We will be attending with the children’s buddies who will help them to reflect and to be as ‘still’ as possible. The first visit to church as a class is always a special occasion and I am looking forward to many more visits this academic year.
I hope you have a lovely weekend,
Miss Heim-Sarac
