Newsletter 34 - 1 July 2011Issue 34 - 1 July 2011 Dear Parent Year 5 German Morning Thank you for dropping the children to St Benedict’s this morning it seemed such a waste of a coach for such a local trip your support is much appreciated. The children had a fantastic time, my thanks to St Ben’s for hosting the event. St Peter & St Paul Mass The children attended Mass on Wednesday for this Holy Day of Obligation. Thank you for joining us. Sports’ Day Thank you all so much for attending on Friday it was a great success as always. The weather was extremely kind to us given the unpredictability of the rest of the week. The children were all stars and gave of their best in all events and in their encouragement for each other.
