Year 1 had lots of fun today working with Sophie. We joined in with lots of party dances and used the parachute too.

The A and B Team played their first league matches of the season today against Ribbon Academy. The A Team played first and wasted no time in attacking the opposing team’s goal. It wasn’t long before the first goal was scored and they just kept coming after that. Some excellent team-work and brilliant passing and moving ensured the game was …

Year 2 have enjoyed a rainy afternoon art lesson observing the spirals in shells and using texture in sketchbooks to create a beachy feel. They used oil pastels and graphite sticks to carefully observe shape, pattern and colour.

In Year 1, we have been learning all about the human body. We have been exploring our five different senses. We had a carousel of activities, each one using a different sense. We identified the flavour of crisps by smelling them, felt objects in a feely bag, listened to sound through the computer, used magnifying glasses to look at objects …

We were really looking forward to our first violin lesson. Mrs Sellers told us about the different parts of a violin and played us some songs. We then played some singing games. Next week we will use the violin which we are looking forward to.   

Our A Team played in their first tournament of the season last night. They played four matches and showed excellent skill and teamwork throughout. Some great goals were scored and some dangerous attacks were defended brilliantly.  After winning two games, drawing one and losing another, they had done enough to secure the runners up spot of the Daniel O’Hare Tournament. …

A huge well done to all of our children who have achieved certificates for wonderful things this week.

Mrs Sellers will be visiting Year 1 every afternoon until Christmas. We had lots of fun learning new songs, keeping the beat and listening to Mrs Sellers play ukulele.

Today in Year 2 we started thinking about drawing. We practised drawing with our hands in sketchbooks, with our arms and moving our whole bodies! We looked at art by Molly Hausland who draws huge circles outdoors. We loved drawing spirals on our yard!

A big thank you to everyone who contributed to our summer fayre from the Friends of St Cuthbert’s. And, from everyone at school, a very big thank you to our friends group who have been an amazing support this year.

Reception class shared a wonderful liturgical prayer with us on Friday all about friendship.

We enjoyed celebrating the feast of St.Peter and St.Paul. Our children took part in a liturgical prayer, took part in the assembly hosted by Mark 10 Mission and enjoyed a day of fun, painting stones to go into the prayer garden and learning more about these two amazing saints, all while raising money for the Mark 10 Mission. Thank you …

Year 6 have completed their Faith In Action Award and celebrated by preparing a final liturgical prayer for Mrs Balls, the chaplin from St.Bede’s who has helped them to complete their award this year, Mrs Noble and Father Marc. They were very inspired from their visit to the primary youth festival and included songs they enjoyed and it inspired them …

The theme of this year’s Youth Festival was “bold and brave” and was perfect as the messages really related to the children as they are going to be bold and brave as they move onto secondary school. There was lots of singing and dancing (photographs are hard to get when they were having so much fun) After completing some activities …
