• Advent Assembly with Reverend Thompson

  Mon 29 Nov 2021

  This morning Reverend Thompson talked to the children about Advent. We lit four candles and then remembered that the final candle represented Jesus who should be the centre of our Christmas celebrations.

  We are all excited about the lead up to Christmas and look forward to reading our advent booklets which St Bridget's church provided for each child to take home on Wednesday 1st December.

• Visit to Wordsworth Grasmere

  Wed 17 Nov 2021 Fiona Taylor

  All the children in P4 and P5 spent an interesting day at Dove Cottage, Grasmere learning about the life and works of William Wordsworth.

  The day started with an introduction and then a lesson about the life of William and the inspiration for his poetry writing. 

  The children planned their ideas around their own illustrations and shared them with the group.

  After lunch, a tour of the cottage and gardens gave the children first hand experience of the living conditions. They asked, and answered many questions and compared the house to houses today.

  The museum gave them an opportunity to learn more about Wordsworth and there was a fun treasure hunt and art activities to complete as well.

  An excellent day 

  

• Bright Day - Road Safety Week

  Tue 16 Nov 2021 Mrs. Fish

  This week we have been thinking about how we can stay safe on the roads. The PCSO has been in school to talk to us about Road Safety and today we all wore brightly coloured clothes. This helps us to be seen by drivers, especially as the nights are so long in the depths of winter. 

  In our classes we have been looking at the road markings outside school and thinking about how we can keep each other safe as we arrive and leave school.
