Message from Mr. Hough

Scripture John 4:5-15, 19-26, 39-42 In this Sunday’s Gospel we have a witty dialogue between Jesus and the Samaritan woman

drawing water at the well, where each seems to be teasing the other.

Water is a sign of life. The “living water” is the sign of everything that Jesus offers us to satisfy

our need of God’s love and guidance. With its serious message, this Sunday’s Gospel is a lovely

example of Jesus’ willingness to engage with people just as they are – and that includes us too!

God has no favourites ; we are all loved equally by God. The season of Lent presents a great

opportunity for everyone to enter afresh into the living and nourishing water of God’s love

which surpasses any food or drink.

Science Week This week we celebrated British Science

Week with a whole – School presentation for the parents. We all enjoyed listening

and learning from each other. KS1

Science week KS2

Message from the Head Teacher It has been a brilliant week in school but a very testing

one for the world, with the pandemic spread of the

coronavirus. We continue to monitor the situation very

closely and will continue to send daily updates from

public health England. The government advice at this

time is that with no confirmed cases, we continue as

normal. However, if symptoms do present in the form of a

fever and cough a period of seven days in isolation is

strongly recommended. If you have any concerns please

do not hesitate to contact me. Best wishes, Mr. Hough
