On March 7th, 2020 the pupils attended a lovely ceremony for the whole school to mark Ash
Wednesday and the beginning of Lent.
The assembly was presented by the children from First Class and it included drama, prayer, liturgy and song. Ashes were
distributed to all the pupils who wished to receive them. Ashes come from burnt
palm. Ashes help us to remember that it is important sometimes to turn away from
being busy, to stop and turn towards God.
Poem: "Turn Away"
Turn away, turn away from being too busy
Be quiet, be still and pray
Turn towards God in the wilderness
Turn, turn, day by day.
