Faith Diary
This Sunday’s Gospel tells the story of the woman caught in adultery, which under Mosaic Law, would mean that she stood condemned to death by stoning. Instead of challenging or even defending the woman, Jesus invites any of her accusers who is ‘without sin’ to throw the first stone. Inevitably, the crowd of accusers melts away, and Jesus is left alone with the woman. He does not attempt to question or judge her, but having saved her life, simply urges her to ‘go and sin no more’. His response is more than a caution to us about passing judgment on other, it is a profound lesson in divine mercy and forgiveness. As sinners, we are all unworthy to judge the sins of others as we too should stand convicted by God’s law for our transgressions. Yet Jesus, who is without sin, offers all of us sinners not harsh judgment but eternal mercy and forgiveness. Saved by his loving compassion, we, like the woman, are urged to convert, to change our way of life and to ’sin no more’.

Year 3 Literacy
As part of the Literacy curriculum Year 3 have been learning about synonyms. (a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language.) The pupils had fun looking at excerpts from the BFG by Roald Dahl, brainstorming how words could be changed.

Jurassic Explorations
Our Foundation Stage 2 class were surprised on Monday morning to see that the Dinosaurs had visited their classroom over the weekend. The pupils became explorers for the day, they used wooden tools to crack open frozen eggs, brushes to dig in the sand for fossils and practised their writing in glitter trays. The explorers then wrote a report about their findings!

Congratulations to pupils of Prior Park School Gibraltar on their production of Oliver.
Lionel Bart’s adaptation of the famous musical featured all the well-known songs, which were delivered with gusto and great panache! The lead characters had tremendous stage presence and the actors in supporting roles were well choreographed and brought great enjoyment to the stage. All credit goes to the crew and production team who brought this ambitious project together with little time to rehearse on stage.
I thoroughly enjoyed every minute! – A happy fan!
Mrs Napoli - Headteacher
