NEWSLETTER – 11 June 2021 NEWSLETTER – 11 June 2021 Reflection This Sunday, we hear about a tiny little seed. But when it is planted it grows into a big bush with branches big enough for all the birds to come and sit in. The mustard seed is a tiny little seed. But it grows into a very big bush with very big branches. Big enough for birds to be able to come and sit in to get out of the sun. So, what do you think Jesus is trying to tell us? Perhaps it’s that the Kingdom of heaven is also always growing, just like the seed, so that there’s room for everyone who wants to be there. The mustard seed also shows us how size doesn’t matter – even the tiniest seed can produce a great big tree. The same is true for us – even the smallest person can do great things. And even the smallest action can have big results. Prayer: Loving God, you show us that the littlest actions can have huge results, and that the smallest of people can do great things. Inspire us to play our part in making the world a fairer place for everyone. Amen. Wednesday Word Please see the link to read this week's Wednesday Word here. Mugs for Mary’s Meal Fundraiser This half term we will be taking part in the "Fill a Mug" appeal in school for the charity, Mary's Meals. This charity provides one meal a day to overseas children who need support whilst they attend school. This helps them concentrate on their lessons and do their best work. A St Mary's mug has been placed in each classroom as a collection point for children to bring small donations from home. Just 8p pays for one meal for one child. We are hoping that each class will be able to raise at least £15.90 (enough to feed one child for a whole year whilst they are at school) and possibly even more. The children know they must ask your permission to bring any donations into school and that every penny counts. We have suggested that they might like to donate their change from any treats they buy or perhaps do some household jobs to raise some pennies. On Friday 25th June the Mini Vinnie's will be organising a parent's collection for Mary's Meals at drop off so you will have an opportunity to join us in raising money for this very worthwhile cause. The appeal will run from 8.6.21 to 15.7.21. Hot weather We are enjoying the hot weather and the sunny days. Please ensure that your child brings a water bottle filled with water, not juice, a hat and has sun cream applied before school too as the sunny weather looks set to continue. NEWSLETTER – 11 June 2021 School Council mosaic competition We have received some amazing mosaic designs for the new mosaic for outside of school. The School Council are going to have a very difficult decision choosing the best one. Here are just a few of the designs. Summer Food Bank Appeal for the SVP In the week commencing 14 June, the Mini Vinnies have organised a food bank appeal for the SVP Centre at York Road. The Mini Vinnies are hoping you can help them collect some food which they can then deliver to the centre. All items are very welcome, but we understand that the following items are extremely helpful: cereal long life milk tinned fish tinned meat tinned vegetables and fruit juice & fruit drinks crisps long life healthy snacks commercial biscuits and cakes Any donations should be left outside the classroom from 14th June in the crate provided so that they can be stored safely. Donations will close on Monday 21st June. Catch up Groups A number of children missed their catch up groups this week as they had missed the information in the newsletter dated 21 May and the following week’s diary dates. The current catch up groups will continue until Friday 9 July with a focus on writing. There will be no catch up sessions from Monday 12th July. Year 6 received their own information regarding catch up classes before the holidays. NEWSLETTER – 11 June 2021 Busy first week It has been quite a week with the children accessing the NSPCC stay safe, speak out virtual assembly, the launch of our Mugs for Mary’s Meals fundraiser, the CAFOD Fratelli Tutti assembly, frisbee day, Year 6’s Holocaust visit, a girl’s football match against St Peter’s and St Paul’s and the new Reception parent meeting. The whole of this half term is full of fun activities so please ensure you look at the diary dates and curriculum newsletters so you know what is coming up! Health week When we were last able to run our health week in 2019, the feedback from parents was that they would have liked a greater range of activities. Miss A Roberts has created a jam packed week of activities but we have had to cancel one of those activities as by Thursday we had only received 67% of the parental contributions. We appreciate that not everybody can contribute to the activities for financial reasons however the school is not in the financial position to be able to cover 33% of the costs. We have had to cancel a smoothie making activity where the children make a smoothie by cycling on a bike which I’m sure they would have enjoyed but at a cost of £400 we were unable to go ahead with this. We hoped that by giving parents 6 weeks’ notice to make their contribution and by getting as many free activities as possible to keep the cost under £10 per child, it would be possible to provide a greater range of activities. We hope that the children will still enjoy all the activities planned – Olympics carousel, rounders, obstacle courses, dance, orienteering, skipping, Olympic games led by Menston sports leaders and the inflatable. The children will also be learning about a local sports personality in their class.

High top Converse are not appropriate for playing sports as they do not give the appropriate support to the children’s feet. The inflatable will be in school on Thursday, please ensure your children do not go on this before or after school for health and safety reasons. Little Library at Horsforth Morrisons Horsforth Morrisons have recently launched a Little Library in store as part of our Stories of Hope and have asked for our help. Please can you see if you have any children's books that you no longer read or need and consider donating them to our Little Library. You can post them in the drop off part or hand them in. The idea is that your children can come and take a book, then bring it back and swap for a new one. Morrisons hope they will receive enough books so they can donate some locally to children who don't have the same access to books as others. There are 380,000 households in our country that do not have access to a single book, that means no bedtime story or the chance to grow their imagination. If you have a large number of books but are unable to bring them in, then please message Morrisons either through the Facebook page - Morrisons Horsforth Community Champion or via this number 07811 715794.

  • Sportsmanship and Business: What We Can Learn from the Olympic Brownlee Brothers?
    Sportsmanship and business: What we can learn from the Olympic Brownlee brothers? While recently watching the final race of the World Triathlon Series in Cozumel, Mexico, I witnessed something astounding. British athlete Jonny Brownlee, who had previously won Bronze in the London Olympics, recently Silvered in Rio and was in the winning position for this race, suddenly slowed down, began to stagger and almost collapsed. His brother Alistair, the two-time defending Olympic champion locked in a battle for second place, stopped his own race, pulled Jonny’s arm over his shoulder and began guiding him to the finish line (see video here). In an admirable act of selflessness, Alistair forfeited his own chances and pushed Jonny across the line to captured second place honors; whereby Jonny immediately collapsed and was admitted to a hospital suffering from dehydration. Now you might argue well that’s what brothers do. But after the race during an interview, Alistair simply declared “If it had happened to anyone, I would have helped them across the line. It’s an awful position to be in. If he conked out before the finish, and there isn’t medical support, it was a dangerous position to be in.” And this type of selfless attitude is not limited to families. Take for example the women’s 5,000 meters at this year’s Olympics, when the American Abbey D’Agostino and Nikki Hamblin of New Zealand collided and fell, then helped each other across the line. What can we learn from these acts of sportsmanship in our day to day businesses? Winning is an amazing outcome.
