This week we look to Peter and Paul, who both have unique roles to play in the mission of the Church. Peter is the rock on which Jesus would build the Church, and Paul leads Jesus’ missionary work through his letters and teaching. Both are heroic followers of Jesus who we can be inspired by.

Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in Heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church…”

Matthew 16:16-18.

Key Messages of the Gospel that Children will be led to reflect on during our whole school worship this week…

- Saints Peter and Paul are two great Saints who helped to establish the Church.
- Peter and Paul, in their unique ways, encouraged the Early Christians and they encourage us today.
- We can be inspired to use our talents to do God’s work today.e can give back by offering ourselves; giving our time and talents to Jesus – and Jesus enhances all that we offer.

At Our Lady's we like to support our parents/carers in Online Safety matters

Keeping children and young people safe online is one of the biggest challenges facing society today and it is all of our responsibility to ensure that children are educated to make positive, informed choices when they are online.

This month’s online safety guide gives helpful advice about…

What Parents and Educators Need to Know about Nintendo Switch 2 This free guide explores the Nintendo Switch 2, covering how its new features – from GameChat to a plug-in camera – could affect children’s privacy, spending, and screen time.

We hope you find these guides informative and helpful in promoting the positive use of technology to make the online world a better and safer place for us all. Thank you.

Golden tickets and Extreme Reading Challenge

Just a reminder that during the Summer term, the whole school will continue taking part in our reading challenge. Children will receive a golden ticket each time they read and get their reading diary signed three times. At the end of each half term, during our celebration assembly, we will draw a golden ticket from each class’s box, and one winner from each class will receive a reward. Please encourage your child to read regularly and bring in their signed reading diary so they can start collecting their golden tickets. Good luck everyone!

Thank you to all those who have already taken part in our Extreme reading challenge, we now have a display in school and photos can be viewed on the website.

If you’ve not yet taken part, please send your photos to admin@our-lady.blackpool.sch.uk so we can display these in school and on our website. We can't wait to see your pictures! Thank you for your support!
