Dear parents, children and parishioners,

Thanks to those who joined us last week on zoom for John Parsons - what a great presentation. Further down in this newsletter you will see a link to one of his videos. We are still trying to get as many of our activities, meetings and events celebrated, but we are running into obstacles everywhere, thank goodness for zoom. However, zoom can't do everything and so there are more changes to come to our end of term events, but (as I have recently said to the year 6 parents) I have looked at our school vision and here's my quote: we are flexible and open minded and support people with new ideas... We appreciate everyone and know they are doing their role to the best of their ability.

Families, thank you for keeping us all safe by staying home if unwell. You are doing a great job. We are being hit by absences of students and of adults which makes our daily work challenging. However, we are really privileged to hear how your children have welcomed each other back and shared their experiences together. What a place to live and to learn!

Take care everyone, Annie
