We had a wonderful time sharing some of our learning from this term.  You can find more photographs on the class home pages.

The children have been enjoying a prayer trail in our Spiritual garden as part of our devotions to Mary this month. On the trail they have found out about different parts of Mary’s life and how they can relate this to their own lives.

The Creative Togetherness Cafes are proving very popular.  So far Year 3, 5 and Reception have had their cafes. Check the school calendar, for the dates of the next ones, if your child has yet to have theirs yet.

We had some amazing costumes today for World book day.

On Wednesday 30th January the school gymnastic team attended a competition at Ormiston High School.  They enjoyed performing and demonstrated the school’s values representing the school excellently.  The team have really benefited from the after school club that gives them the chance to practice their skills and develop their routines.

Another great afternoon was hosted by Year 5 and 6, as they came together with their families to solve some mathematical problems.  Here are some of the comments the families made.

Fantastic opportunity to be involved in mathematics in a fun way. Thank you.

Really enjoyed it, certain puzzles were a bit tricky but fun

Kids are having fun and learning at the same time!

Nice time for parents and children to interact and know how they do their lessons.

Really enjoyed working with my child and others in their school environment. Making maths fun was very encouraging.

We had a great afternoon exploring mathematical learning with our parents and carers.  We shared some of our problem solving strategies and had remained resilient trialing different ways to solve some tricky problems.  Here is some of the feedback from the session.

Puzzle Cafe was great fun using different ways of solving problems.  Thank you.

Fun Experience to share with our child. Would definitely like to come again. Thank you.

I had a lovely afternoon working with my child and their friend. seeing how they work out problems and work together.

Really enjoyed spending time with the kids and seeing them able to work so well together

It was really very good. I would like/wish these kind of sessions happens often.. Really appreciate your efforts. Thank you.

Really enjoyed getting involved with the children. It actually helped refresh my brain too!

Lovely to see just how much the children know, lovely atmosphere!

We had a wonderful last day of the Autumn term.  We used our talents to perform a range of Christmas numbers to our friends and families.

We had a fantastic day on Friday all the children looked very festive in their Christmas Jumpers and we raised an amazing £110.35 for Save The Children.

Santa also visited us which made the day extra special.

We wish all our parents and pupils a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

We had a wonderful morning with students from NDHS sharing their faith with our KS1 this morning.  First they lead us in a collective worship on the theme of Advent.  Then they lead two workshop sessions, helping us to make a personal response to getting ready to receive Jesus into our hearts at Christmas.

Thank you for all the wonderful donations and support that all the friends and families of the school gave to make this event such a success. The total taken on the day was in excess of £1,400.00. Well done to everyone.

Thank you to all the children and families who collected “Pennies for Pudsey”.  The children had lots of fun adding them to the Pudsey Bear shape on the playground.  The amount raised for Children In Need was a staggering £332.49. Well done everyone!
