It is very important that school is kept updated with any significant health concerns with children. It is VITAL that parents obtain a health plan e.g anaphylaxis/asthma plan if needed for their child. 

Please ensure that you provide an Asthma pump/spacer/Epipen etc if required and that it is within its use by date.

Saturday 25th February and Sunday 26th February

In all three versions of this Transfiguration event that appear in the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, the context in which the event occurs is identical. That’s a little unusual with these three gospel writers who like to put their own spin on events and often play with the chronology or settings of events. However, in this case, all three writers report the Transfiguration event as taking place immediately after a particular sequence of events. Jesus has asked the disciples who they thinkhe is and Peter has made his confession of faith by declaring that Jesus is the Messiah. This declaration is followed by Jesus teaching about the demands of discipleship and then the account ofthe Transfiguration. Furthermore, all three versions are directly followed by an account of a man who brings his possessed son to Jesus for healing after the disciples have tried and failed to cast out the demon. When all three of the synoptic gospels use the same story with little variation and all three retain the same context around the event then there are some pretty clear signals that this was a commonly accepted sequence of events and their sequence holds significance. The core message of this sequence of stories is about the faith of the disciples. Whilst Peter declares Jesus to be the Messiah, he and the others don’t really yet know what this means. In the Transfiguration, they are given the clearest possible indication of Jesus’ identity and yet they’re confused and scared by what they witness. The following failure by the disciples to cast out a demon shows that they still haven’t understood fully who and what Jesus is. During this Lenten season, like the disciples, we are called to consider who Jesus is and what role he plays in our lives.
