Who Stole the Monster’s Underpants?
The Jolly Postman has delivered invites to a special tea party at St Vincent’s this afternoon. We’re hoping to find out who has taken the Bear’s porridge, the zebra’s stripes, Mickey Mouse’s bow tie, Mary Poppins’ umbrella, Robin Hood’s bow and Alice in Wonderland’s Queen of Hearts.
What an amazing day. We loved having our parents come in a read with their children. There were some great performances and at the tea party we finally found out who stole all the book characters possessions. Snow White confessed after she was caught on camera! The children forgave after she apologised and promised never to do it again.
The Lawrence Library Opening
The Lawrence Library was officially opened and blessed this week. We were glad to have the family of Lynne Lawrence with us for the occasion. The library is dedicated to her in recognition of 41 years of dedicated service to the school.
Bedtime Stories
Pyjamas, hot chocolate…..and stories! The best possible way to end the day!
Thank you to all the staff who stayed to read their favourite stories – you were awesome.
A World of Books

The children worked with Miss Friel and Miss Drumgoole and let their imaginations run wild!
