DIOCESAN YOUTH DAY
On Saturday a group of 7 pupils and Mrs Seymour went
to the Colston Hall to participate in diocesan youth day.
The day was entitled "Called To Be" and the aim was to
look at who it is we are called to be in our schools and our
parishes. The day consisted of three activities that helpedus explore what it means to be young Catholics. We
explored the youth work taking place in our parishes that
encourages us to be confidently Catholic. Also what we
would like to see happening in our parishes. Everyone
who went to the day got a free ticket to Flame Congress
which is being held in Wembley Arena on Saturday 24th
March. This is going to be the biggest gathering of young
Catholics across England since the Pope. Over 7,000
tickets are being sold. The day will have drama, music,
speakers and Olympians present to talk about their
experience of faith. Anyone in year 9 upwards who isinterested in going please see Mrs Seymour as soon as
possible.

collected a staggering 305Kg which raised £165 for Bell
Burnell charities.

E-SAFETY TIP
Filtering software is useful to protect your children on
the home pc but communication with your child is
equally as important since they could access the
internet from a friend’s house completely unfiltered.
BRAINTEASER
There are twelve socks in a drawer: six red socks and
six blue socks. The room is completely dark, you
cannot see.
Question : How many socks must you take from the
drawer before ABSOLUTELY having either a pair of red
socks or a pair of blue socks in hand?
WISE WORDS!
I am not going to limit myself just because people
won’t accept the fact that I can do something else.
Dolly Parton, Entertainer
LAST BRAINTEASER ANSWERStart the 7 and 11 minute hourglasses when the egg is
dropped into the boiling water. When the sand stops
running in the 7-glass turn it over. When the sand stops
in the 11 glass, turn the 7 glass again. When the sand
stops again in the 7 glass, 15 minutes will have elapsed.
