Happy Easter for the weekend just gone. I hope you and your families enjoyed some precious times together over the break. A short week from Wednesday with delightful sunshine for our break times, an excellent assembly on Thursday from Mrs Morton (a Year 6 mummy) about life and work in the fashion / design industry which inspired many of our aspiring artists, designers and fashionistas. On Friday, Year 5 enjoyed the first of a series of lessons with Chef Harry for their ‘Adopt a Chef’ scheme where they learn all about healthy food, food preparation and cooking skills. They are eagerly awaiting Tuesday’s next instalment. The news on Easter Monday of the passing of Pope Francis, God rest his soul, is a timely reminder to treasure every moment we have together in this life. The Holy Father’s wisdom and example of living a life of forgiveness, kindness and love are especially ringing ever clearer since his promotion to glory. “I have a dogmatic certainty: God is in every person's life. God is in everyone's life. Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs or anything else - God is in this person's life. You can - you must - try to seek God in every human life.” Pope Francis “We have observed that, in society and the world in which we live, selfishness has increased more than love for others, and that men of good will must work, each with his own strengths and expertise, to ensure that love for others increases until it is equal and possibly exceeds love for oneself.” Pope Francis “We must restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread love. Be poor among the poor. We need to include the excluded and preach peace.” Pope Francis Have a peaceful weekend together with your loved ones, Gareth Tindall
