A PCSO visited nursery today, and talked to them about how the police help others. They all had a chance to try on a hat or helmet and a jacket.
In Nursery, children have been learning about the importance of oral hygiene; they brought their tooth brushes to school and we all brushed our teeth together.
Reception have been learning about the importance of keeping their teeth clean. They used their own toothbrushes but were given a brand new one and paste at the end of the day.
Year 5 have completed a day of outdoor learning today. They did some cross-curricular science work –
testing out forces when running with parachutes. In maths, they did some measuring of perimeter to calculate a mile so they could complete their daily mile. The class then finished the day with some Irish Dancing for St Patrick’s Day. Well done!
Over the next few weeks, our local PCSO, Trudi Brittle, will be visiting all our classes. Today, she visited Year 6 to discuss anti-social behaviour.
Congratulations to Ala, whose poem and nomination for her mum won the Mother’s Day hamper. Every child that nominated their mum went home with a goody bag. Thanks to Mrs Tudor and our Minnie Vinnies.
Today, our Early Year’s team invited in our mums to have a party with their children ready for Mother’s Day on Sunday! What a wonderful celebration for our marvellous mums!
Today, our Year 4 class had an educational visit from Tettenhall Fire Service. They were given tips on how to be safe at home in case of the fire. This included Stop, Drop and Roll incase they were on fire!
Today in our Gospel Assembly, we marked the tenth anniversary of Pope Francis becoming pope. Mrs Walker explained how this linked to our social catholic teachings:
‘Dignity for the human person‘ – Pope Francis has called for us to ‘welcome the stranger’ by ensuring that migrants and refugees are able to leave their homelands without risking their lives so they can live safely and with dignity.
‘Care of our Common Home – Stewardship’ Pope Francis wrote the encyclical letter Ladauto Si
‘Common good’ After the pandemic, Pope Francis also encouraged us to build back as a better world. He released Fratelli Tutti, an encyclical letter about not rushing back to life post covid but finding a new normal.
Today, we continued to take part in the St. Peter’s Activity Project, trying to create more opportunities for our children to be active in the local area. From the previous workshop, the top activities our children wanted to look into were: Football, playing with friends, Gymnastics, Ice-Skating and Dance!
