Year 3 and 4 had the opportunity to celebrate Mass at Corpus Christ. It was so special, with all the children praying and singing with such joy. Mr Penna played the guitar so we could sing ‘Burning in my Soul’ with actions. What a joyous occasion.
Year 4 became planet heroes as RISE Theater led a day of dramatic workshops to enable our pupils to be part of their wonderful performance! In class, we took part in sessions exploring the effects of pollution on our towns and oceans, as well as the effects of global warming. See below for some highlights!

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.

The year 4s have made a great start to the term, and a strength on show has been their willingness to give new things a go. This has been most notable in their new PE topic, tag rugby. This sport is new to most of the class and they have shown some brilliant individual skill and teamwork in learning new skills such as passing backwards and tagging their friends to win the ball. I continue to be impressed by their resilience and enthusiasm! – Pictures to follow soon.
Years 4, 5 and 6, welcome to the ‘Advent Rehearsal’ blog! Click on each song and start singing! Try it without your lyrics in front of you when you’re ready. Sing so much and so passionately that even your family know the songs! Let’s make our Thursday 5th December, 5.30pm performance one to remember! #BRWSpiritStrong

Year 4 have had a super-sporty week here at Blessed Robert and beyond! We began the week with a trip to The Becket school to take part in Year 10’s Sports Carousel event, which we loved! The children were able to experience a wide variety of new and familiar sporting activities led by the students there.
Fast forward to Wednesday, and we had an afternoon of sun and speed here at Blessed Robert’s KS2 Sports Day. The children were so supportive of each other and did themselves proud!
Ahead of our Music Evening on 21st May, below are the tracks and lyrics for Year 4 and 5’s choral singing performance! This will showcase the hard work they have been putting in with Mr Davis, learning traditional hymns and mass parts. Use this page as a resource to practice that fantastic singing of yours!

Lyrics to follow along:
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.
