Dear Parents and Carers,
Year 6 have just returned from a wonderful week at CYE! They were fantastic ambassadors for the school and got stuck into all of the activities! I am sure the parents of Year 6 will have some very tired children this afternoon after an action-packed week! Without the generosity of the staff giving up their time, residential trips wouldn’t be possible. We would like to celebrate and thank Mrs. Hasler, Mr. Good and Miss Davies for giving up their time and spending the week away from their own families to ensure Year 6 had a great week away! I had a great afternoon with the children on the beach at West Wittering on Wednesday in glorious sunshine, unlike poor Miss Wilkin who went on Tuesday!
Ms. Robson was very excited to receive our new team shirts (kindly funded by The Friends of St. Cuthbert Mayne) this week! The Year 6 Sports Leaders helped with the design, so I am sure they will be eager to see them when they are back in school. We now need to organise a fixture so that they can make their debut!
Some of our Year 3 children celebrated their Frist Holy Communion’s last weekend and more are taking place over the next couple of weeks. Please remember the Year 3 children and their families in your prayers as they celebrate this sacrament.
Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs. Amy O’Donovan

Collective Worship
The solemnity of the Ascension took place in the half term, and we focused on this in our collective worship this week. We reflected upon how the disciples would have felt to no longer have Jesus to guide them and thought about how Jesus would have felt to leave his dear friends behind! One child summed up their thoughts beautifully by saying that they thought Jesus would be happy to see his friends go on to carry out his mission after all of the preparation he had given them!

National Online Safety
Emojis aren’t just digital decoration — they’re often used as a coded language that young people use to express identity, humour and emotion. Without context, they can easily be misunderstood by adults, leading to confusion or missed signals. Some emojis may even mask risky behaviours or emotional struggles.
This guide helps decode this ever-evolving language, empowering parents and educators to have more open, informed conversations with the children in their care. It also highlights the meaning of some common emojis and offers practical tips for staying clued-in without snooping or suspicion.
