Dear Children and Families,
At. St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School, we believe that God is with us always. We are going through an unprecedented period of uncertainty. However, when we are all at school, we spend lots of time together in our classes and as a whole school praying, taking part in liturgies and spending time with God in different ways. The following resources might be helpful if you would like to spend some time with God while we’re all at home, either on your own or with your families.
There are links to children’s liturgy activities so that you can still listen to and reflect on the Gospel each week, like we do together as a school on a Monday morning, or there are ideas for other liturgies you could create for your family. There are craft activities you could do linked to Easter, or other ways to help you be close to God. Spending time with God can give us strength, comfort and peace at difficult times and remind us just how special we are and how much He loves us all.
These are not homework; they are just some ideas for you to use if you’d like to. Additionally, if you would like to listen to the school mission statement song, please see below.
Please be assured that all of us at St Mary’s are praying for you and your families,
Mrs Beaven
