Dr Verny White - Head of Prep Science
Year 2 pupils have been enthralled by their new topic on World War II. They have begun learning about the Blitz and what life was like in London during this period. The pupils have also shared presentations they created after carrying out their own research about the war, which were wonderful to listen to. It has been an excellent start to the term!

A reading from the Gospel of Luke
As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognising him. When he was at table with them, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognised him And they said to one another, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked to us on the road?”
Reflection
The disciples on the road to Emmaus were confused and disappointed They did not expect hope to be walking quietly beside them Jesus does not rush them or correct them immediately; instead, he walks with them, listens carefully, and gently opens their hearts
At times, we can be like those disciples. God is close, yet we do not always recognise him in our daily life at school, in our friendships, or when things feel difficult or uncertain. Still, Jesus is always present, walking alongside us, especially when we feel unsure or discouraged
Prayer
Lord Jesus, You walk beside us on the roads of our lives, even when we do not recognise you Open our eyes to see you in our prayers, in our lessons, and in one another. Warm our hearts with your presence and give us the courage to share hope and kindness with everyone we meet Stay with us, Lord Amen.
