Just like bread is something that helps our bodies to live and grow, Jesus is reminding us that the way to keep our spirits strong and alive (both now and forever \u2013 with God in heaven) is to follow his example. Jesus is food for our souls in the same way that real bread is food for our bodies. Children will continue to find out how Jesus can be the &#8216;bread&#8217; of their lives during worship this week.<\/p>\n<p>Years 5 and 6 took a very hot walk to Sacred Heart on Tuesday. Only a few took the minibus back to school! The Mass was all about the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I think that Father Jeremy was impressed with the knowledge that they already had but further helped them to understand the gifts, what they meant, and how they bear &#8216;fruit&#8217;. Thank you to all the parents and family members\u00a0who joined us.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-261\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/re\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/06\/DSCN0267-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN0267\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/re\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/06\/DSCN0267-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/re\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/06\/DSCN0267.jpg 461w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-262\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/re\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/06\/DSCN0268-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN0268\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/re\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/06\/DSCN0268-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/re\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/06\/DSCN0268.jpg 461w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-263\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/re\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/06\/DSCN0269-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN0269\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/re\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/06\/DSCN0269-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/re\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/06\/DSCN0269.jpg 461w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow 6 children form Year 6 will represent our school at the annual Schools&#8217; Mass at St John&#8217;s Catholic Cathedral in Portsmouth. We will be taking our school banner along as will all the Catholic schools in our diocese as a symbol of our unity. It is a chance for us to gather round the table of the Lord and give thanks for God&#8217;s grace on our schools and ask for His blessing on those in need that we have been supporting through our charitable endeavours. We will present a certificate detailing the amount we raised during Lent supporting CAFOD&#8217;s Big Fish appeal.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-267\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/re\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/06\/DSCN0270-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN0270\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/re\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/06\/DSCN0270-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/re\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/06\/DSCN0270.jpg 461w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-268\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/re\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/06\/DSCN0271-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN0271\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/re\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/06\/DSCN0271-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/re\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/06\/DSCN0271.jpg 461w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Reuben, Edward, Jessica, Molly, Bethany and Elliott\u00a0from Year 6 will be joining\u00a0me at the cathedral tomorrow, selected by their teachers for\u00a0consistently showing a commitment to our Catholic ethos throughout their time at St. Peter&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the sunshine!<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Luter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week we heard in whole school worship\u00a0how Jesus calls Himself \u201cthe bread of life\u201d and tells\u00a0people that whoever eats His bread will live forever.\u00a0We know that Jesus doesn&#8217;t really mean that He is\u00a0a loaf of bread!\u00a0He\u2019s making a comparison\u00a0in just the same way that He compares Himself to a shepherd.
