NSPCC Rockstar Number Day!

When?  Thursday 6th February

What to wear?  You could dress up as a digit, so something linked to numbers, or you could dress like a rockstar! Be as creative as you like!

What will happen?  There is a fantastic day planned, full of maths games and activities!

What else?  On Friday 7th February, there is a NSPCC Rocks Competition on Times Table Rockstars, where your child can help our school get high on the national leaderboard!  That morning, have a go on TTRS before school; they will also play throughout the day, and can play at home up until 7.30pm that evening before the competition closes. Let's see how well we do!

Message from Mrs Brocklesby

The Jubilee Prayer

Father in heaven,
may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled
in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us the blessed hope
for the coming of your Kingdom.

May your grace transform us
into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos
in the sure expectation
of a new heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.

May the grace of the Jubilee
reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,
a yearning for the treasures of heaven.
May that same grace spread
the joy and peace of our Redeemer
throughout the earth.
To you our God, eternally blessed,
be glory and praise for ever.

Amen

Good afternoon

This week I am delighted to inform you about an event which will be held at Saint Ambrose School. The aim of the community event is to raise awareness of local groups and the support that is available in our community for families. The event is on March 7th starting at 3 o'clock. Put the event in your diary as along with a range of community groups there will be free refreshments, an ice cream van and activities for children (see flyer below). Next week all children will come home with two flyers to advertise the event in our community. Please tell any families you know about this exciting event, thank you for your help.

The Book Fair will be in school from Monday 10th - Thursday 13th of February. All children will have the opportunity to purchase a book. during this week and the Fair will be open to parents at the end of the school day.

Regular attendance at school means that your child will make the most of their education and improve their chances later on in life. At St Ambrose, good attendance is of high importance and we strive to have at least 96% attendance. Please help us with this target. If you need any support, then school is here to help so that your child can get the very best out of the education we provide. 

We will continue sending out regular communications about attendance so that you are aware if you child falls below our 96% target and we are working with Louise Howles, our Education Welfare Officer to support us with improvements.
