In their English lessons Y3 have been reading The Puffin Keeper-Michael Morpurgo. Each child rewrote a scene from the book as a playscript, then created a stage out of reused/recycled materials to go with their script. Here are a sample of the wonderful, imaginative creations. https://t.co/Hi3nmjPlQW
How lucky were we to have good weather yesterday morning for the whole school photograph, they arrived to set up at 7am and were ready to start filling the staging at 9am, it took a while to place all the children and staff, but the rain held off until the photographs were taken https://t.co/m5Gyf6QB3C
Year 5 have been lucky to have artists from Turner House come in to do pastels and print making with us. #primaryschool #turnerhouse #artists https://t.co/s4TWUZjjKQ
Our Reception classes enjoyed a Pirate Day. They made pirate hats and also parrots to wear on their arm, followed by lots of pirate storytelling. As the weather was good, they built a pirate ship! and had a fabulous treasure hunt on the field looking for jewel necklaces! https://t.co/PECOHQBhjc
At the end of the summer term, pupils and teachers look forward to the "end-of-year awards" assembly, as this gives us an opportunity to recognise achievements. These awards are not just about academic excellence, they also recognise pupils who have made a positive impact on the school community through leadership, kindness and integrity as well as effort on and off the sports fields, and those who have attained 100% or 99%+ attendance. Well done to everyone on receiving their awards today. We are looking forward to the holidays and wish you all a wonderful summer break (hopefully the sun will continue to shine) but also to new beginnings in September.
Catholic Social Teaching: Option for the Poor Year 6 – Enterprise Project. Year 6 showed us a wonderful example of this with their Enterprise Project which culminated in the sale last Friday after school for the various items they had made. A proportion of the money they raised went to a charity of the children's choosing. It was also a lovely example of Community and Participation as everyone worked together and a lovely atmosphere was created at the sale itself with the children choosing from the wonderful selection of items on offer!
As a finale of our Turner's House project, we invited the parents to our own Y5 Turner exhibition. The children's artwork that was produced with the artists from Turner's House was displayed in the hall, and each child acted as a tour guide.
Sewing Club teaches students basic sewing techniques, with the goal of helping students develop these skills and also have the opportunity to explore their creativity. They have all really improved their sewing skills and have learnt many new stitches. Well done to the Sewing Club!! we are really impressed with all your work.

Thank you everyone, including staff, visitors, parents, children and helpers for all coming together so beautifully to help celebrate our 85th Anniversary Mass on the school field. The altar servers were fabulous, the children who read were incredibly proud to have been chosen to represent their classes and year groups, and the Year 3 pupils who led the congregation in singing and signing the Hail Mary, they were very spiritual in their delivery and it added to the overall atmosphere of the Mass. The Bishop complemented us on how the children were so well behaved and respectful. I think everyone would also agree that the choir, with live music were brilliant. Our special thanks also go to the musicians, the PA helpers and all those behind the scenes who worked to make this Mass a very special event.
