Prayer Theme: “Changing Seasons” - 26th Week of Ordinary Time

Prayer Dear God, only when we work together with you, can we show our love for each other and

play our part in protecting our planet. God help us to work with our brothers and sisters around the globe to halt the damage we are causing to our climate and bring about true hope for the future of the earth and of all people. We ask this in the name of Jesus, the Lord. Amen.

Numeracy Challenge 4 Last year Mr Binns paid £240 for his home insurance. This year he has to pay £564.

Work out the percentage increase in the cost of Mr Binns’ home insurance.

There were 431 entries to the challenge last week, with around 25% of those entries being correct. Lucy Crook Williams, from 7 Cottam, was the lucky winner. She used the correct axes, on the left hand side, to estimate the highest rainfall was around 63mm and the lowest rainfall was around 33mm. Meaning the estimated difference was 30mm.

Careers International Translation Day: Thursday 30th September Careers:

Mr. Marsden Thank you to all those of you who supported our Open Evening on Wednesday. Many staff and visitors have spoken to me about just how brilliantly you represented the school in different ways – whether it was helping out in departments, conducting tours or taking part in the musical performances. I am very proud of you all. A special thank you to Edie and James in Year 8, and our Head pupils Fergus and Isabella, for supporting me by speaking in the main presentation in the hall. This was a daunting task but they were fantastic ambassadors for you all. Have a lovely weekend. Mr Marsden
