Learning to love; loving to learn… Welcome Learning to love; loving to learn… Give out the letter LOVE, some plants and a heart Balloons – blue and silver heart balloons "I get by with a little help from my friends." - John Lennon

We Gather… We gather as one Our Lady’s family, as we make the sign of the cross and light our candle, as a reminder that God is here among us.

We Pray For…all those who lost their lives in Paris Lord, in your mercy, Hear our prayer.

Here I am to worship Light of the world You stepped down into darkness. Opened my eyes, let me see. Beauty that made this heart adore You Hope of a life spent with You

Here I am to worship, Here I am to bow down, Here I am to say that You're my God You're altogether lovely Altogether worthy, Altogether wonderful to me

King of all days oh, so highly exalted Glorious in heaven above Humbly You came To the earth You created All for love's sake became poor

Here I am to worship, Here I am to bow down, Here I am to say that You're my God You're altogether lovely Altogether worthy, Altogether wonderful to me

I'll never know how much it cost To see my sin upon that cross I'll never know how much it cost To see my sin upon that cross

Here I am to worship, Here I am to bow down, Here I am to say that You're my God You're altogether lovely Altogether worthy, Altogether wonderful to me (repeat)

We want every child at Our Lady’s school to feel happy, safe and that they belong. We want every child in our school to feel confident about being who they are so that they can fulfil their potential. It is not okay if other children get in the way of this. We need to know if you feel worried.

Together, let’s put a STOP to bullying

Keep them happy and safe and take away any troubles they may have. We Respond….

Go into your heart rooms Help me, O God, to be a good and true friend. To be always loyal, and never to let my friends down; Never to talk about them behind their backs in a way in which I would not do before their faces; Never to betray a confidence or talk about the things about which I ought to be silent; Always to be ready to share everything I have; To be as true to my friends as I would wish them to be to me. This I ask for the sake of You who are the greatest and the truest of all friends, for your love’s sake, Amen.

I Am – By Laura I am the person you bullied at school, I am the person who didn’t know how to be cool, I am the person you alienated, I am the person you ridiculed and hated. I am the person who sat on her own, I am the person who walked home alone, I am the person you scared every day, I am the person who had nothing to say. I am the person with hurt in her eyes, I am the person you never saw cry, I am the person living alone with her fears, I am the person destroyed by her peers. I am the person who drowned in your scorn, I am the person who wished she hadn’t been born, I am the person you destroyed for ‘fun’, I am the person, but not the only one. I am the person whose name you don’t know, I am the person who just can’t let go, I am the person who has feelings too, And I was a person, just like you.
