The theme of our RE work last half term was 'How can we share what we have?' We were thinking about how we can spread Jesus' message of loving one another and how we might support our neighbours across the world. We found out about the work of Mission Together; the Pope's charity which supports…

Last term, we read the novel ‘The Iron Man’ by Ted Hughes as our class novel.

We really enjoyed it and have been waiting since we finished reading it to start our English unit.

In our first lesson, we investigated some of the wonderful vocabulary that the author used to describe The Iron Man…

The children worked together to make a bug hotel out of the natural resources they found in the nursery garden. We hope that the mini beasts will love their new home. 

This week we were very lucky to be able to handle artefacts from the past. We have a museum loan in Year 1. It was a brilliant opportunity for the children to handle the old objects. The children shared their knowledge of what they were and used their fantastic drawing skills to make detailed…

Today we began our new design and technology topic. We will be designing our ideal sandwich and making it. We will be learning the skills of peeling, spreading, chopping and grating.

Today, Year 1 Sacrament have been out in the garden to identify trees. We learnt about the different types of trees, evergreen and deciduous. Ask your children what the difference is… We also checked on our seeds. We can see some signs of growth!

We did an amazing job and…

Year 2 have enjoyed making clay tiles and pots in class. They have developed several skills including rolling to an even thickness, mark-making onto clay and joining clay pieces together.  Pupils made a pinch/thumb pot and a coil pot using the skills they had practised.

Year 1S have been busy planting seeds. We have planted snap dragons, kale and cucumber in our newly weeded bed. 

Year 1B have sewn the same seeds in the poly tunnel. We shall see which seeds have the best environment to grow!

What a nice day to be beside the seaside!

Year 1 Sacrament have had a lovely time on their trip today. Their behaviour was brilliant and we have all learnt lots.

We learnt about steam trains, had an afternoon tea during Victorian times, made a seaside themed mosaic, dressed up for…

4 Sacrament enjoyed taking part in the Ancient Greek workshop. We learnt about what Ancient Greeks enjoyed, how they ran their cities,  how they chose their rulers, and we got to see some artefacts. We looked at and discussed the Pythagoras cup theory. 

4 Blessed loved the Ancient Greek workshop in school today. We learnt about what Ancient Greeks enjoyed, how they ran their cities, how they chose the rulers for their cities and had a look at some artefacts. Take a look at the pictures and videos of what we have done.
