Today years R,3,4,5 and 6 offered their hearts in prayer to celebrate our Lent theme of service to Our Saviour.

Year 2 have been working on what they have done wrong in the past and how they can improve. They thought about how they always ask God for forgiveness. Some of the children role played when they had done wrong and then turned to God.

Our Confirmandi received the Sacrament from Arch Bishop Bernard Longley last Thursday. It was a beautiful service with an excellent turnout for the choir and a packed church. The children who received the Sacrament were brilliant and will now carry forward all that they have learnt about the Holy Spirit in school and in their future lives.

Lent has begun and the children at St. Vincent’s are fully engaged in following in the ways of Jesus.

In recption, the children have been writing how they can be more like Jesus.

In year 2, the children have been learning about the parable of the Lost Sheep and how God forgives our sins.

In year 6, they have been learning about the parable of Lazarus and the rich man and how we must be prepared to give alms during lent.

The liturgy leaders from year 5 performed the Stations of the Cross for years 1, 3 and 5 today.
