What has been happening in school?
National Day of Reflection, Tuesday 23rd March
On Tuesday 23rd March it was exactly a year since the first lockdown began in
2020. It has been a very challenging year for everyone and we decided to mark this
day with a Day of Reflection, organised by the charity Marie Curie. Our focus for the
day was spreading a feeling of hope for the future. We observed the minutes’ si- CHRIST
lence at 12 noon and lit a candle to remember those who have suffered and reflect CHURCH
on the challenges we have all overcome. PRIMARY
All the staff at school wore yellow ribbons to form a Beacon of Light as a symbol of SCHOOL
hope for the better times ahead, and the children thought about the positive im-
pact the vaccine roll out is having on the spread of the virus.
Each class created a large candle using different art media and we will put the can-
dles together to create a wonderful Beacon of Light display for all the children to
see. On the candles, children wrote messages of hope for the future.

Love and Hope
4 Picasso took some time on Tuesday to find out about different symbols of hope.
We used these to inspire some drawings on wooden discs, which are now hanging
on a 'Tree of Hope' in the Nature Area.
As well as rainbows, there are hot air balloons and doves. What other symbols can
you spot? CHRIST

safe online as they may not be using a secure domain such as google class-
room. Please think carefully about the apps and sites they’re using and
check them out for suitability yourself.
Screen time—it’s important to both see and understand what children are

Palm Sunday
What is Palm Sunday?
Palm Sunday is a Christian celebration that is held on the Sunday before Easter and will take
place on 28 March 2021.
It’s marked to celebrate Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, a week before Jesus Christ’s
death and resurrection. It’s referred to as ‘Palm Sunday’ as crowds waved palm branches at
Jesus during his last entry into Jerusalem before he was crucified. The celebration is movea- CHRIST
ble, meaning it doesn’t always take place on the same date every year. Palm Sunday marks
CHURCH
the beginning of Holy Week and Easter Sunday marks the ending.

How do Christians celebrate Palm Sunday?
Palm Sunday is celebrated by going to church, Christians also make crosses out of palm
leaves to display in their homes. In some churches, they burn the palm leaves and keep the
ashes for Ash Wednesday. Christians usually prep the day before and commemorate the
day using red and white colours to resemble Jesus’ blood on the cross as he was cruci-
fied. But not every country can have Palm leaves due to different climates, as such they

celebrate a little differently. For example India they scatter flowers instead of palm leaves
and in Italy, olive branches can be used too.

Earth Hour 2021—Saturday 27 March
Earth Hour is the moment every year when millions unite around the world
to show they care about the future of our planet. More than a symbolic

event, Earth Hour is a global environmental movement to stop the destruc-
tion of nature.
This year, it's the start of an important decade for climate and nature ac-
tion. By 2030, nature and wildlife could be recovering all around us. We
could have green jobs, cleaner air and a healthier future for the next gener-
ation. Everyone has a part to play in making that
happen. And it all starts with a single switch…
