Year 6 celebrated their class Mass today with Fr Steve as they explored the conversion of St Paul.

It was beautiful and intimate to celebrate the sacrament of the Eucharist in class, whilst the children took turns with the reading or saying the bidding prayers that they had written…

This afternoon, Year 5 led our whole school Celebration of the Word. They shared with us some of their reflections on 'Mission', including how we can share in the mission of Jesus, by bringing God's love to others through kind words, a smile, a helping hand. They read this extract from a prayer by…

We have really enjoyed Wealth and Work Week. We have learnt all about where money comes from, what we use it for and what loans and interest are. On Wednesday we had visitors in school who told us all about their jobs. We asked lots of questions.

This week, in the cold weather, we have had lots of fun exploring! We have been learning about freezing and melting, solids and liquids and we explored painting on the ice that was left in our tuff tray! We were very excited to find out that even the paint froze when we left it outside! We also…

It may have only been with us for a morning but Year 2 made the most of being out in the snow, building miniature snow men and making snow angels. We also learned how to warm our freezing cold hands up once we were back in class!

Today we investigated mass. We had heard of a kilogramme (kg) but couldn't think of anything that might have a mass of a kg. So we took out our class weighing scales and in groups,set about putting resources in the holder until the dial moved around to the 1kg point. Some groups realised that the…

Year 6 snuck out of class and enjoyed the snow for a short while, as you can clearly see!

Year 6 have started their PSHE Wealth & Work Week by looking at PAYE and payslips.

They learnt all about tax and even decided how best to spend the money raised by Income Tax!

What a wonderful experience Year 5 had this week when Claire came in to lead us in a Yoga session. It was great to take time to slow down, stretch and relax. Year 5 showed great balance and ability to be still. Well done!
