Year 5 Dodgeball Superstars!

By

This week, Year 5 participated in a dodgeball event at Temple Park. Several schools joined together to play dodgeball and have lots of fun!

During the course of the morning, sports leaders were on the lookout for pupils who demonstrated core sporting values. Two of our pupils were awarded certificates – one for passion and one for honesty.

The entire class showed amazing effort and were so supportive of one another. It was joyous to hear them cheering each other on and sharing words of encouragement. Well done, Year 5!

Reception’s Spooky Library Adventure!

By

Reception had a brilliant time on their visit to the library this morning. They listened to some fun (and slightly spooky) monster-themed stories that had everyone giggling and guessing what might happen next!

After the stories, the children got stuck into designing their very own scary monsters. There were lots of wild eyes, sharp teeth, and crazy colours—each one was totally unique and full of imagination!

To finish off the trip, everyone chose a book to bring back to school. These special picks will be shared each day during story time. Well done Reception!

Year 4 Celebration of the Word with parents

By

In RE, Year 4 have been learning about Reconciliation.  Some of the children have been preparing for their First Reconciliation.  The Sacrament of Reconciliation celebrates the fact that we are loved and forgiven by God and that when we say sorry to one another and experience forgiveness we are experiencing God’s forgiveness.

Parents were invited into school to share in our Celebration of the Word as we celebrated God’s unconditional love and forgiveness.  At the end of our Celebration of the Word, the families were given a mission to show love and care for others, letting their light shine.  The children gave their parents a leaf on which to write (with their child) how they would follow our mission.  At the end of the COTW, parents were given a Good Shepherd’ prayer card to take home.

Y3 History Enquiry – Was Stone Age Man Just a Simple Hunter Gatherer?

By

The young historians in Y3 took part in an oracy session, where they challenged the misconception that early man were mere hunter-gatherers who were solely interested in consuming food. During the debate, we discovered how cave men had a great passion for producing painting; so much so that they cleverly made their pigments from charcoal and colourful minerals. They also had beliefs in the animal Gods and loved their families that they organised respectful burials showing their emotional side; very much like modern day humans.

Well done to the children who bravely stood up to articulate their arguments to a respectful group. They listened, understood and then responded to the view of their fellow historians.

It proved to be a great session, where the children not only thought like historians but also spoke like ones too. They then went on to write a response to their enquiry question with the disciplinary knowledge they had developed from the debating lesson.
