• The Travelling Nativity Bag is back!

  Sun 06 Nov 2022 Mrs B Fletcher

  The Reception children were very excited to hear all about the Travelling Nativity Bag on Thursday. Each child will have a turn to take it home and explore the contents for a couple of days. 
   

  There are two lovely Nativity books to enjoy, an optional prayer to recite and a candle to light. There is also a little bag full of Nativity figures to play with. The children are going to have so much fun retelling the story of The First Christmas. 
  
  A little early, I know, but in order to ensure everyone gets a turn it went out on Friday with the first Reception child. 

  

• Yellow Team Point Winners

  Fri 04 Nov 2022 Mrs Harrington

  To celebrate being awarded the most team points for the Summer Term our Yellow Team has a fabulous treat this week. We went on an adventurous autumnal walk in and around Bridekirk and came back to warm up with hot chocolate and biscuits. Well done to the Yellow Team for following the golden rules so well and going above and beyond to achieve. 

  

• Netballing Stars

  Thu 20 Oct 2022 Mrs Harrington

  Last week our Year 6 netballers took their first trip to Cockermouth School to compete against local Cockermouth schools. We were incredibly proud of the level of sportsmanship and determination shown. Participation in sports competitions will continue throughout the year with all Year 5 and 6 children competing at some point. Keep checking Latest News for updates!

  

• Pumpkin Soup

  Tue 18 Oct 2022 Mrs Smith

  This morning, as part of our Investigate pathway, the children in Reception were looking at a pumpkin.  But not to make a lantern…no, we were making pumpkin soup!

  Autumn is an awesome time to get out and about, and we wanted to find out about healthy foods, work collaboratively with each other, use lots of different tools and use our skills to make something tasty. After sequencing the pictures, to make sure that we did everything in the correct order, we were all set.

  Mrs Bowness from the kitchen helped us with the preparation and showed Mrs Smith how to use our new induction hob.  Mrs Metcalf, Miss Rigg and Mrs Martin were very impressed with how well we all worked together.  Apologies that there are no pictures of us with the final product - we were all too busy eating!

  

• Post from Uganda!

  Fri 14 Oct 2022 Mrs Stanley

  The children in Primary 4 were delighted today to receive a letter from a penpal at a school in Uganda. We’ve formed a link with Wellspring school in Kampala, Uganda and a few weeks ago we all wrote a letter to be given to a child there. These were sent via email and the headteacher there handed them out. The head teacher then emailed some lovely replies from the children there back to us. It was lovely seeing the excitement of the children in class today at receiving a reply. We’re really looking forwards to doing more with this special international link.

  

• Collective worship in Primary 4

  Thu 13 Oct 2022 Mrs Stanley

  This week in our class four children planned and led our class collective worship. They encouraged us to think about how we can speak kindly to each other and be trustworthy friends. They did such a super job. We're taking it in turns and next week four different children have volunteered to lead the session. 

  

• KS2 Pupils - React Science Show

  Thu 29 Sep 2022 Fiona Taylor

  All the pupils in KS2 attended the React Science Show at the local Lakes College.

  A team from the Science Museum in London presented - ‘Can You Feel the Force?’.

  They demonstrated Newton’s Three Laws of Motion in a fun and engaging way. Poor Philbert the Frog had a variety of forces acting on him as he was catapulted across the stage! The presenters also mentioned the work of Galileo and Archimedes before ending the show with what looked like a magic trick. It was certainly a fun and engaging way to learn new scientific information and the childen’s behaviour was perfect. Well done to you all. 

  

• P3 celebrate international Dot Day

  Sat 17 Sep 2022 Mrs Herbert

  The Dot is a book about teacher pupil relationships where children’s creativity is embraced. We enjoyed creating our own dots and signing them. 

  

• In Remembrance Of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

  Sat 17 Sep 2022 Mrs. Fish

  Pupils of Bridekirk Dovenby School have been remembering Queen Elizabeth II this week.

  Year 6 considered their feelings and memories of the Queen.

  Year 2 wrote prayers for their Queen.

  As a school, we held an assembly to remember and celebrate her life and enjoyed watching Paddington Bear and the Queen having fun together.

  Our flag will continue to fly at half mast during the period of mourning.
