Our Super Science Ambassadors kick started this year’s British Science Week by leading a whole school assembly. We began with learning a little about our Science saint – At. Albert the Great, and read a prayer that previous ambassadors wrote. They shared the theme, which is ‘Adapt and Change’ and links to our own lives that we can make with science. They launched the Poster competition and all week have been running ‘The Gadget Shop’ which will continue this week, or until all stock is sold! Prices range from 50p to £2.

This was a wonderful joint celebration with children from KS1 and EYFS leading their friends through prayer, song, dance, time to think and talk, meeting together with Jesus, getting to know his friendship even more.
Year Two had a wonderful visit to Nottingham Castle this term.
This visit was particularly relevant to our topic because it allowed the children to build their knowledge of ‘colour’ in a real-life exhibition.
The Kaleidoscopic Exhibition provided the opportunity for Year Two to marvel at, and be inspired by, the vibrant artwork in the gallery.
We also had the chance to explore the castle further. We enjoyed learning more about our local hero: Robin Hood. We also took the time to consider Nottingham’s human and physical features, by taking in views from across the city.
Our Year Two pupils were enthusiastic and eager to learn throughout the visit and they asked the gallery staff lots of questions.
We even had a few children fall asleep on the coach home. What an exciting day!
As part of our ‘Beginnings’ topic in RE, we have learned about the very first story in the Bible: the story of Creation!
Watch our video to see Year Two’s wonderful performance of this story…
Three children from Year 1 led EYFS and KS1 in a Celebration of the Word this afternoon. They helped everybody think about our wonderful world, to feel God’s presence and to both say sorry for mistakes we have made and give thanks for our world.
Year 1 and 2 had a fabulous time celebrating Key Stage 1 Sports day. The rain held off (only just) and the sun made an appearance as the children worked together to win points for their House Teams.
The children took part in a standing jump, hurdles, javelin, ball dribbling and throwing activities. The they took to the track to show off their sprints.
Thank you to all of the parents who came and cheered us on. It really was a fabulous morning.
It was a beautiful, holy way to start our Friday. We joined parishioners and parents to celebrate Mass together. Children from Year 1 and Year 2 confidently and clearly led our bidding prayers and all the children joined in with the singing of ‘It’s Me that Builds Community’ song – with actions, of course!
It was wonderful this morning to celebrate Mass in our church with Father David, parents, carers and parishioners. The children who took part with readings, prayers and poetry were confident, thoughtful and precise and, as for the singing, it was glorious, powerful and brought joy to our hearts.
Year 2 enjoyed learning about axles and wheels as part of our DT topic. They were challenged to create a moving vehicle using K’Nex. This task sounded much easier than it was and required lots of problem solving, team work, peer teaching and perseverance.
The children found making axles and wheels challenging as they had to make sure that the wheels were secure and did not move. Their next challenge was to make and attach a chassis.
The children had such a wonderful time creating and they couldn’t wait to test them on the ramps at the end of the lesson. Well done everyone!
