Remember Remember the 5th November

24th October 2024Madison Hayden

Today, Year 2 learnt all about the Gunpowder Plot. We did a puppet show to show what we had learnt.

Autumn!

24th October 2024Michelle Smith

Reception have had a fantastic week learning all about Autumn. We began with an autumn walk around our school grounds. We loved exploring the leaves and trying to catch them as they fell! We enjoyed turning them into creatures when they had dried out. We used oil pastels to make some autumn leaves and have worked hard on some autumnal drawings. We also used cardboard tubes to make our own autumn trees too.

Confirmation 2025

22nd October 2024Mrs J Hartwell

Thank you to everyone who came along to support our Commitment Mass on Sunday. It was wonderful to see so many of our children and families, along with our parish, reverently make their intention and commitment before God to continue their spiritual journey.

Please see below a copy of the information leaflet regarding the Sacrament of Confirmation 2025 that children should have brought home with them. This year, Father Paul has streamlined the process of distributing and submitting forms. Application forms can be collected from the sacristy at Mass. Completed application forms should be returned to Father Paul at Mass before Friday 1st November 2024. Should you need to contact Father Paul, please email: [email protected]

You can click here to download the PDF file.

Unfortunately, we do not yet have a date for Confirmation and whilst we understand that this is difficult for those of you who may wish to invite family from overseas or if the children have someone in mind for their sponsor that may need a little more notice, this date is at the discretion of the Bishop and all we can do is wait for a date to be allocated. Please rest assured that once we know we will of course let you know.

Nursery Applications 2025

Hado

18th October 2024Mr R YOUSON

On Wednesday 9 children from Years 5 and 6 took part in a Hado Tournament. Hado is a new virtual AR sport that is similar to dodgeball. The children were split into 3 teams and competed against 5 other schools during the afternoon. All the children represented the school brilliantly showing great sportsmanship and respect throughout the day. One of the teams (George, Fintan and Lauren) were so good they won the competition meaning they will return in the champion of champions final later in the year. Well done everyone.

We are INTERNET LEGENDS!

16th October 2024Mrs J Hartwell

The children in Key Stage 2 were lucky enough to enjoy a visit from Vicki and Tenisha from Be Internet Legends by Google to teach them all about how to become Internet Legends!

The interactive event taught us to be safer, more confident online explorers, whilst having fun along the way! The skills and behaviours we learnt will help us to navigate our online lives – helping us to learn to be Sharp, Alert, Secure, Kind and Brave.

Here is the game they mentioned you can play at home: https://beinternetawesome.withgoogle.com/en_uk/interland

 

 

Virtual Author Visit – Hannah Gold

16th October 2024Mrs J Hartwell

Year 6 LOVED their virtual author visit from multi-award winning bestselling author, Hannah Gold for the official launch of her highly anticipated new book TURTLE MOON. This thrilling new illustrated animal adventure for children follows other fantastic books such as The Last Bear, Finding Bear and The Lost Whale – all books are must-reads!

Thank you, PTA!

16th October 2024Mrs J Hartwell

The children (and staff!) in Year 6 were very excited when Mrs Smith hand-delivered us a fantastic selection of books which will become our class readers which we read for pleasure at the end of every day! We know how much hard work and generosity goes into fundraising and we appreciated it that little bit more this week when we saw these pennies and pounds turn into books!
