Children from Year 4 and 5 took part in a Basketball festival last week and demonstrated a range of different skills including shuttle runs, dribbling the ball in a zig-zag direction and shooting. Once the children had warmed up, they took part in three basketball games against three different schools. Well done to all who participated and for representing your school.
On Monday, the School Council Leaders are raising funds by holding a Valentine Bake Sale. All funds raised will be used to deliver Random Acts of Kindness Gifts to people within our community during the week. Cakes and biscuits will be available to buy – please send your child with some money so they support our fundraising efforts. 
Our Year 5 and 6 children had a treat yesterday when they were able to join a STEM workshop provided by Silverstone Museum.
The children found about the history of the race track, for example that it was used as a runway for planes in World War 2. The children reactivated their history skills when comparing images from the past and present.
They were also able to see, feel and discuss different objects from motor racing including a fuel cell, race suit, helmet and different tyres.
The children were also told about all the different jobs that are available in Formula 1! A lot of our children were inspired, one wanting to go on to be an engineer and another, a racing driver! Thanks goes to Silverstone for providing this and Children’s University for making it available to our school.
Year 6 had a wonderful retreat day. They represented the school very well; through their eloquent ideas and contributions and their exemplary behaviour. They are growing closer to the Holy Spirit and demonstrating dedication to their Sacramental preparation. Well done, Confirmandi.
Yesterday in school, we celebrated Safer Internet Day! Classes reactivated their learning on being safe online from their computing lessons and completed lots of different fun acticvites. Our children in Coding Club with Mr Morgan produced quizzes for children to answer and our younger children produced videos to remind us to be safe online!
Today is Safer Internet Day, and in school each class is going to be reactivating their computing learning this term by completing activities around how to be safe online.
Here is some useful information and activities for families to do the same at home:
