PE days beginning from Monday 11th September.

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 …

Year 5 have been exploring the idea of stewardship and how we care for all creation. We love their beautiful tree of stewardship.

Year 1’s Liturgical Prayer looked at important words from God’s Promise. In God’s Promise, it says that we should share what we have especially with people who have little or nothing. We decided to donate toys and clothes to charity as part of our mission. We have donated all of our things to Barnardos in Seaham. Well done Year 1! …
