Date: 22nd Apr 2024 @ 10:20pm
Can you help F2?
We are always running low on junk modelling materials. We would love to build up our junk modelling store as children are going to start creating their own models over the next few months, including castles 🏰 and sea creatures 🐙
We would really appreciate it, if you have any of the following item, passing them into Mrs McLaren or Miss Mayes in F2:
✅ small boxes
✅ medium boxes / cereal boxes
✅ cardboard tubes - kitchen roll / pringles tubes (no toilet roll tubes please)
✅️ egg boxes
✅ empty clean yoghurt pots
✅️ corks
✅️ empty clean plastic boxes - margarine tubs / fruit tubs
✅️ empty bottles
✅ foil / coloured sweet wrappers / bubble wrap
✅ buttons / fabric scraps / ribbon / cotton reels
✅ children’s magazines / catalogues
Many thanks!!!

First Holy Communion, by Mrs Harris
Date: 22nd Apr 2024 @ 10:15pm
One of the most important events in a young Catholic’s life is his or her First Holy Communion. To go along with this special occasion of receiving Jesus for the first time in the Eucharist, girls wear a pretty new white dress and boys wear a new suit or shirt and trousers with a tie.
While First Communion outfits are sometimes passed down to younger siblings in families, others are kept for sentimental value but often get forgotten and are stored in a wardrobe where they collect dust. Many of our families have kindly found a place for these outfits which have sentimental value, by donating to our school to be used for a child receiving their First Communion. The wonderful donations allows children and their families to not worry about an outfit and focus on the Sacrament.
Please do get in touch with Leanne at [email protected] or WhatsApp/call her confidentially on 07544865763 should you wish to borrow any items for your child's Holy Communion, this can be arranged confidentially

Earth Day 2024 - 22 April, by Mrs Harris
Date: 21st Apr 2024 @ 9:40pm
Earth Day 2024
🌎 Earth Day is marked on 22 April each year. The very first Earth Day was held in the USA in 1970, in response to a spill from an oil tanker. It has since grown to become and global event, during which as many as 1 billion people around the world mark the need for action on the environment and living sustainably
🌎 The theme for Earth Day 2024 is 'Planet vs. Plastics'
🌎 To celebrate Earth Day, we will take part in activities to encourage us all to think and learn about what we can do to look after our planet
Small steps to help save our planet:
🌎 reduce use of plastic and avoid single-use plastic
🌎 walk or cycle to school if possible
🌎 recycle
🌎 turn off lights when not in use
🌎 use less water
I'll upload some photos of how we learned to help by the end of the week 👍

Lenten Trail, by Mrs Schultz
Date: 8th Mar 2024 @ 12:36am
All classes have visited Church over the last couple of weeks to follow the Lenten Trail. It was Year 1's turn yesterday. We walked around four stations, all supporting the children to understand the meaning of Lent and how we can pray, fast and give on the run up to Easter. The children learned how Jesus resisted temptation in the desert and how we should try to give up something for Lent to remember how Jesus gave his life for us on Earth. The children talked about how they give to charity- helping others less fortunate than ourselves. They suggested that giving away their own toys and old clothes would help charities raise money for others. They also had lots of suggestions for helping the homeless. Lots of children decided that they would like to give up sweets and treats for Lent, whilst others decided that they would try to be more kind and helpful to their families and others. We're really proud of how they are becoming great followers of Jesus and learning to follow the right path this Lent.
World Book Day, by Mrs Schultz
Date: 8th Mar 2024 @ 12:24am
Year 1 have been celebrating World Book Day throughout this week. We have had a number of online author workshops, some reading stories and others have been teaching us how to illustrate. We have met Bernard Menzah, the author of Kwame's Magic Quest; Liz Pichon, author and illustrator of the Tom Gates books and also joined in with a draw along session with the author, Raahat Kaduji. Today, the children have been excitedly drawing themselves in their costumes- They all looked amazing! They have created shoe box story settings using collage materials, read lots of stories, made bag tags and completed World Book Day puzzles and colouring sheets. What a day! We hope to complete our story setting shoe boxes tomorrow so that we can use them as inspiration for our seaside setting description. Here's a sneak peek of them so far...
