Key Messages of this week’s whole school worship

This week, Matthew brings his final message, explaining Jesus’ call to shine our light. Through an analogy of the moon reflecting the light of the sun and the real-life story of Eric Liddell, children will consider how they can use their gifts to do good and reflect God’s light in the world.

Please have a look at this Parent Newsletter linked with our weekly whole school and class worship…

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 newsletter gives helpful advice about…

the online game Minecraft, a game that remains popular amongst children,
how to set up parental controls on your WIFI/broadband - most providers include these for free as part of your broadband package.
WhatsApp, a free messaging app that allows you to send messages, voice notes, photos and videos. You must be at least 16 years old to register for and use WhatsApp; however, we are aware in school that many of our older children use this app and so the guide will give helpful advice about its features.
and links to further information regarding online safety.

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