Habemus Papam! We welcome and pray for our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV. His profile suggests he will continue the work of Pope Francis in standing up for justice and peace.
At this time, we remember and celebrate the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, which marked the end of WWII and brought peace and freedom to Europe. We know that there are many who do not live in peace and freedom and pray for God’s peace across our world.
Next week, Year 6 children will be completing their KS2 SATS assessments. I have been very impressed with how hard they have worked and taken their studies seriously. We all know that our children are blessed with many gifts and talents and their futures are bright. Once the SATS results are in there will be some disappointments but many celebrations. I say to the children that God made you to be the best person you can be and know your star will shine for all to see; whatever you aspire to be always do it to the best of your ability. Remember you are artists, dancers, scientists, explorers, carers, teachers, historians, fair and just …. The list of your talents goes on and we recognise and value each of you for who you are and what you do. Please pray for our Year 6 children and for all young people completing exams at this time.

Year 3/4 Healthy Schools week!
We had such a fun time during our healthy schools week. We took on the challenge of creating our own Top Trump cards based on the top places in Portsmouth that can boost our mental health. We used different devices and sources to explore the best places in Portsmouth and sorted them into the type of activity it was. We narrowed this down to 3 categories: Calmness, activeness and fun!
Feel free to play the game at home and maybe even pay a visit to these amazing places!
