• Rotary Football Tournament

  Tue 20 May 2025

  A huge well done to our yr5 and 6 footballers who participated in Cockermouth Rotary Club’s annual football competition. Bridekirk was able to enter 3 teams into the event and all those who took part did a fabulous job. Comments about sportsmanship, gratitude and team morale made us incredibly proud. 
   

  We continued our winning streak and took home the most enormous trophy for school and smaller trophies to take home. 
   

  Thank you to all involved and MSport for our new kits

  

• VE Day - Celebration and Remembrance

  Thu 08 May 2025 Mrs Fish

  Today we all came to school dressed in red, white and blue... some children arrived as evacuees. We joined a National Live Assembly which informed and moved many of our pupils - helping them understand just what a difficult time World War II  was for so many people. 

  At 12 noon we all listened to the radio in the playground and observed two minutes silence... everyone joined in. 

  Once the two minutes were up we listened to celebrations that were taking place in Westminster and held our own celebration in the playground. We played a special VE day compilation of music and Mrs. McMillian and Mrs. Litt prepared us a tasty picnic which we ate on the grass in the sunshine. Lots of children smiling reminded us all how lucky we are. 

  

• Experience After Easter

  Mon 05 May 2025 Mrs Fish

  On Friday, each class walked to church and back to spend an hour exploring different stations set up in the church. Parents were also invited to join their children and siblings came along too. 

  Each station taught the children what Christians believe happened to Jesus following his resurrection: Ascension, Pentecost, Trinity Sunday & Ordinary Time. The children discovered the significance of each and the liturgical colours that represent each.

  Members of St Bridget's Church set up the stations and enabled the learning to take place - we wish to thank them for all the hard work which went in to making it a very special day.

  They also provided refreshments for parents and children at the end  of the experience which kept us all going and fuelled children for their walk home!!!
