Come Holy Spirit,

Mr Bragard’s Weekly Update

This summer term has been action packed and this week has been filled with fun and excitement like no other. Year 4 had a wonderful residential at Belchamps at the end of last week. The children were amazing and many conquered their fears. Shame Mr Overton-Smith didn’t get much sleep! On Thursday we had the Going for Gold Day. This year, the infants had a fun day at school with a range of activities including water games, construction, parachute games and much more. The children came out of school buzzing! KS2 enjoyed their trip to Adventure Island with the children enjoying many rides including the new and scary Axis. Finally this week, we had our beautiful Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The whole event was a joy to behold with a wonderful outdoor mass which could be heard all around Southchurch and beautiful dancing from all classes across the school. It was truly a beautiful and spiritual morning that made me feel proud to be part of this amazing catholic community. Thank you all for your many donations for the Summer Fayre this weekend. I look forward to seeing you all there even if it does mean that I may be covered in beans, Angel Delight and feathers!

This Week’s News

Going for Gold

Children enjoyed the Going for Gold

days to celebrate their behaviour at

school across the year. Infants enjoyed

a fun filled day at school and KS2 went

down to Adventure Island. Well done to

all the children for working hard and

following the Heart of Sacred Heart this

year you have all been stars.

Sacred Heart Feast Day

Many, many thanks to parents, carers and parishioners

for joining us on Friday morning (28th June) for joining us

on our Feast Day celebrations. As well as the Sacred

Heart community, we also welcomed liturgical prefects

and some of our colleagues from Our Lady of Lourdes

school.

We began this special morning with an outdoor mass led

by Fr. Graham. Despite the gusty conditions on the

playground, the children led us through the mass

beautifully through prayer and hymns. Many thanks for

Fr. Graham and his liturgical team for helping us to

prepare and hold this special mass.

After mass, the pupils greatly enjoyed sharing a range of

dances from varied cultures. We followed our dances

with a whole-school song and ended the morning with a

samba dance off the playground.







This Week’s News

NSPCC Assemblies and Workshops

The NSPCC delivered assemblies for KS1 and KS2

this week to reinforce their message that children

should ‘Stay safe – speak out.’ They also delivered

interactive workshops to Year 5 and 6 and led

discussions about keeping themselves safe in a

variety of different situations. We discussed the

importance of talking to their ‘trusted adults’ as a

first step. As part of our focus on mental wellbeing,

it was another opportunity for our pupils to know

that there is a different outlet for them, if they feel

are feeling worried and are not sure who to talk to.

More information about the work of the NSPCC can

be found on their website:

Last Weeks of FoodbankThere are only three weeks left to send in your items for our Foodbank collection! The foodbank will require lots of food over the summer so please can you send in as much as you can.

Bring a Bottle Day

Thank you for all your bottle donations on

Wednesday. There was a wide range of

bottles brought in from fizzy pop to

shampoo. The children looked great in

their clothes from home!

What’s Coming Up?

RetirementSadly, we will say goodbye to Mr Tallon at the end of this year as he has announced his intention to retire from teaching. Mr. Tallon’s contribution to Catholic Education has been considerable, spanning over many years. We are so very grateful for the many years of service he has given to Sacred Heart School. His dedication and hard work for so many families of Sacred Heart has been significant – this can be summed up in his resolve to remove stabilisers for a young pupil to enable him to ride. This provides a great illustration of his role for our community - he will be sorely missed.

If you would like to make a donation to his retirement collection, please do so in the office.

Cake Sale

On Tuesday 2nd July, Year 6 will be holding a cake

sale in support of the NSPCC charity. Two

representatives from the charity visited us this

week and talked to our children about keeping

themselves safe. We would really appreciate any

cake or biscuit donations that you are able to

contribute to make this event a success. The

cakes will be sold for 20p each, so please make

sure your child has some change. We will be

collecting cakes from Monday 1st July, ready for

Tuesday’s sale. Please do not send in cakes or

biscuits that contain NUTS.

Thank you for your support - the NSPCC rely on

donations to continue their work.
