• Easter Visit to Church

  Wed 31 Mar 2021

  This week, all our classes have visited St Bridget's church for an interactive telling of the Easter story. Revd Thompson joined us and helped us consider Easter from Peter's point of view.

  Each class prepared an offering in the form of a song or poem as well as a prayer. These have been posted on Seesaw for parents and family members to see. Below are a few photographs of one of the mornings.

  The walk from school, to and from church, allowed the children to spot the signs of spring and new life and consider links to the Easter story.

   

  

• National Day of Reflection

  Mon 29 Mar 2021

  On Tuesday 23rd March we held a day of reflection in school to remember the year that has gone by and look with HOPE to the future. We came to school dressed in yellow and raised £300 for Marie Curie / Hospice at Home.

  The children enjoyed creating daffodils ready for Cockermouth's Daffodil Day in April and Mrs. Shankland from The Rotary came to pick them up... we have also created a Host of Golden Daffodils to brighten up our school.

• Primary 2 Perseverance Champs!

  Mon 07 Dec 2020 Mrs B Fletcher

  Primary 2 have been exploring the theme of gifts during their RE lessons over the past few weeks. We've discussed how it feels to give and to receive a gift. We've also talked about the gifts that were given to baby Jesus in the story of The First Christmas. The children explored why Christians might consider Jesus to be a special gift from God, and the greatest gift of all.

   

  We then moved on to talk about whether gifts have to be something we've bought, and the children said we can give gifts that we've made. We made kindness cards the other week to give out to people and we discussed how things such as kindness, helpfulness and listening can also be very important gifts. 

   

  On Friday afternoon the children mastered a special paper folding technique to make contemporary Christmas trees from catalogues or magazines. Mrs Marrs and I were amazed at how quickly they picked up the folding, and so many of them didn't ask for any help at all. Perseverance personified in Primary 2! 

  We were so proud.

   

  The children couldn't wait to take their trees home and give these as gifts to their families. They all looked stunning. Merry Christmas everyone. 

   

   

  

• There's no such thing as a Gruffalo!!!

  Mon 07 Dec 2020 Mrs B Fletcher
  Primary 1 and Primary 2 enjoyed an interactive re-telling of the Gruffalo story, hosted by "Seven Stories". They listened carefully and joined in with actions and sound effects. Towards the end of the session, they were asked to draw pictures of what they thought the Gruffalo's child's Mum might look like. The hosts then invited the children to show their fantastic drawings close up. There were some wonderful ideas.
