On Thursday we had a class celebration as the children made their First Holy Communion. Year 3 looked fantastic as they wore their best outfits to mark their First Holy Communion. We celebrated by sharing a prayer in the hall with Mrs Porter. We sang hymns and recited some special prayers. The children enjoyed a delicious spread which was generously provided by parents.
