As part of our DT lessons we are making a puppet. Last week we designed a puppet. We had to think about the colours we would use, the features our puppet would have and, most importantly, the materials we would use.

This week we sewed our puppets. The children were ”sew” amazing at…

May is the month where we remember Mary. This week we made a decade of the rosary as a bracelet. The children were fantastic at threading their own beads! We hope this bracelet will become something to treasure.

This term, in History, we have looked at Ancient Greece. In Art, we designed a mosaic based on a Greek solider, an olive tree or the famous Parthenon in Athens, Greece. We enjoyed used the paste, glue spatulas and colourful tiles to create a Greek tiled mosaic. After that, around the border…

On Friday the nursery children were very lucky to have a visit from Mrs Plumb who is a potter. She read them a story about mini beasts and then showed them how to use clay to model mini beasts of their own. The children really enjoyed this activity and they can’t wait for the clay to dry so that…

This half term in English and Pastoral we have been learning about Farm to Fork. We wanted to act like farmers and plant our own food to grow and hopefully be able to eat in a couple weeks time!

In Reception we have been enjoying the sunshine by using our outdoor area. The children have been using their gross motor skills to pop bubbles, ride scooters and twirl the ribbons. The children have been building houses using the crates and setting up picnics.

Year 1 Sacrament had an outside science lesson today. We weeded our flower bed and prepared the soil ready for sewing seeds next week. We discussed what a seed needs so it can grow, while we worked. We will keep you updated on our progress. 
 

Our current science topic is Plants.  In our most recent lesson, we learnt about the different stages in the lifecycle of a flowering plant. 
 

To recap the stages please have a look at the following website.

The nursery children had a very exciting visit from a police officer and our community PCSO’s. They told them all of the things they do to help us. The children were able to try on police outfits and some of them actually got to wear handcuffs. They even got to sit in a real police car and put on…

In science we are learning about plants and trees. This week we learnt about trees and the different parts of them. We made bark rubbings of the trunk. We investigated different types of trees to see if all the bark was the same. Ask us about what we discovered!

As part of our Design and Technology lessons this half term we are learning all about puppets. We made sock puppets and had great fun playing with them. We hope you enjoyed seeing them too!

Year 1 are learning about charity. We are doing a mile a day in May to raise money for the RNLI.
