my hopeful thoughts PROJECT

Throughout the month of June, we would like to continue the theme of HOPE AND FAITH with our School Family and Community. We will be looking to tweet out a message of HOPE from a member of staff each day. They will also set an activity for you to enjoy at home. 

You can share your participation in any of the activities by emailing your photos or videos to enquiry@st-annes.bham.sch.uk or by sharing your photo's and videos with us on Twitter via @stannespri with the hashtags #MyHopefulThought, #Hope and #Faith. We look forward to seeing your photo's and videos.
