Christmas Biscuits!

9th December 2025Fiona Kirrane

As part of our Design Technology curriculum, we spent the afternoon baking and decorating some delicious, Christmas treats.

We carefully prepared a written recipe and method and tested our preparations out to create the perfect, festive Christmas biscuits!

A huge thank you to Ms Blair-Wilson, our kitchen manager and Chef, for co-ordinating and leading the event and to her team; Mrs Kaur-Nagra and Mrs Croft for all of their support. A special thank you to Sodexo and Alliance in Parrtnership (AIP) for supplying the ingredients and supporting the experience.

The children absolutely loved the afternoon and were so proud of their creations! We most defintiely have some budding bakers in the making!

 

 

 

 

 

Outdoor Learning

5th December 2025Fiona Kirrane

This week we have taken our learning outside to give us some inspiration for writing poetry. We went on a winter-walk around the school grounds to explore what we could feel, see, hear, touch, taste and smell.

The children have written some wonderful Cinquain poems that we are going to display in our classroom.

Well done Year 5!

 

Advent Afternoon

5th December 2025Fiona Kirrane

Year 5 spent a lovely afternoon with their grown-ups at our Advent crafting event. The children read Prayers and Scripture and spent time crafting their own Advent Wreaths.

Thank you to those who were able to join us and we hope that your hand-made wreaths will take pride of place in your homes this Christmas!

A special thank you to Grandad Kirrane for the plentiful supply of Evergreen and Holly! We really appreciate you!

Gotta Dance 2025

26th November 2025Mr R YOUSON

On Tuesday evening, our amazing dance team took to the stage at the Albany Theatre to take part in Gotta Dance Coventry 2025. The girls have been practising their two routines every Tuesday morning with Miss Jade, and all their hard work and dedication really paid off. Their performance was absolutely spectacular!

For many of the girls, this was their first time taking part in the event and, for some, their very first time performing on stage — but you would never have known. They were confident, professional, and full of energy from start to finish.

A huge thank you goes to Miss Jade from Elite Dance Academy for her time, creativity, and enthusiasm in preparing the team so brilliantly.

Well done, girls!

You were incredible, and we are already looking forward to next year’s show, which will take place on Thursday 26th November.

Year 5 & 6 Football Match vs Earlsdon

24th October 2025Mr R YOUSON

On Thursday, our Year 5 and 6 football team were back in action — this time with a new group of children taking part. They faced a very strong Earlsdon side, and for several of our players, it was their first ever competitive match!

The team played brilliantly, showing great enthusiasm, teamwork, and developing skills throughout the game. Although the final score didn’t go our way, with a 5–1 loss, we were incredibly proud of how the children conducted themselves and the determination they showed right to the final whistle.

Well done, everyone — a fantastic effort!

Year 5 Values Dodgeball Tournament

23rd October 2025Mr R YOUSON

On Wednesday, eight children from Year 5 took part in a Values Dodgeball Tournament. In this event, winning wasn’t the main focus — instead, teams earned points for demonstrating respect, honesty, and teamwork throughout their matches.

Although we didn’t come away with a win, the children gave it their all and truly embodied the spirit of the competition. They showed fantastic sportsmanship and represented the school brilliantly — well done, everyone!

Year 5 & 6 Football Team Through to Round 2!

On Tuesday, our Year 5 and 6 football team played in the first round of the Catholic Primary Schools Cup against St Anne’s. The team put in a brilliant performance, showing great teamwork, determination, and skill throughout what was a very tough match.

Their hard work paid off with a fantastic 3–0 victory, securing a well-deserved place in the second round of the cup.

Rudy (Year 6) was named Player of the Match by the opposition

Well done, everyone — a great start to the competition!

Anglo-Saxon Adventures at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery!

16th October 2025Fiona Kirrane

We had an exciting day visiting the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery to explore the Staffordshire Hoard collection of Anglo Saxon gold and to learn all about the life and times of the Anglo Saxons.

We were given the opportunity to examine cow horns, swords, goblets, weaponry and even tried on original Anglo Saxon armour! One of the absolute highlights of the day was going to battle with one another in a magnificent shield-wall war!

The children were incredibly enthusiastic throughout the session and asked many inquisitive questions.

After the session we had some free time to explore the Art Gallery, where we viewed the ‘Giants’ exhibition and went on a pre-historic journey to learn about animals that roamed the earth over 66 million years ago.

Well done Year 5 for navigating the train journey and Birmingham city centre so carefully on our visit and for working together to make such a fun-filled day!

A special thank you to Ed and Will from #BirminghamMuseumandArtGallery for making the morning so engaging for the children!  #visitbirmingham

 

Fan the Flame Pilgrimage

3rd October 2025Fiona Kirrane

We had a wonderful morning at the Fan the Flame pilgrimage with over 20 schools from around Coventry and with Dan and Emily from OneLife Music.  We were invited to participate in the event as part of the Jubilee Year celebrations.

We explored being Pilgrims of Hope as we spent the morning in prayer and song; re-establishing our relationship with God, with one another and with all of creation.

Animation Adventures!

16th September 2025Fiona Kirrane

The children had a fantastic morning learning about our local area as well as art and animation on our visit to Spirit Bridge Art Studio at the Canal Basin, Coventry.

We discovered many listed buildings and local landmarks on our walk to the studios such as the Weaver’s House, medieval Spon Street, St John the Baptist Church, Coventry Cathedral, the Belgrade Theatre and the old Coventry Telegraph building,

On arrival to the Canal Basin the Creative Directors, Ben and Pritpal, kindly gave us a tour of the area and their studio. They explained how their building had been repurposed from a boat-repair industrial unit into a state-of-the-art creative studio.

We were treated to an exclusive preview of the animation team’s audio-book and TV series – Bucky the Unicorn Bear. The children learnt all about the entire process of creating an animated film from initial sketching to story-boarding to full digital production!

We had a live drawing tutorial and created our very own sketches of the main characters from the animated series.

The Spirit Bridge team were so welcoming and we even got a special visit from Bucky The Unicorn Bear!

We cant wait for the official book launch of Bucky The Unicorn Bear and The Elves of Christmas Eve, this coming Saturday! Get your copy before it sells out!
