Lent prayer bags

To help us on our Lenten journey the children will be given the opportunity to take home prayer bags.

Two children in each class (Year 1 - Year 6) will bring home a purple bag containing a prayer card, cloth, candle, some small shells, stones, a piece of sandpaper and a cross. We ask that a 'prayer area' be set up and as a family pray together. Each child will have the bag overnight. Please ensure it is brought back into school the next morning so as to enable each child to have a turn.
