Although it has been a short week back at school, it has been jam-packed with so many exciting opportunities. We welcomed Mrs Gregan as our new headteacher in assembly on Wednesday. In class we started our learning about ‘The Tempest,’ our Shakespeare play that we are studying. Children really loved it and are a real bunch of actors! Mrs Gregan challenged the school not to be afraid, ‘Feel the fear but do it anyway,’ and although many children in class do feel a little nervous about acting in front of an audience, they are getting lost in their task and getting over any fears! Shakespeare classes involve developing confidence, developing teamwork and developing a deep love of his wonderful language.
In Thursday, we launched our ‘States of Matter’ Science topic by changing the state of cream/milk and making ice-cream. We shook our mixture very vigorously as you can see below!
Today we went to mass for the Epiphany. This was a lovely start to our new year where we reflected on how we can be learned and wise (our new virtues) like the three wise men.
Today, we have had a demonstration for the judo club that will be taking place on a Friday morning at school. This club is a 5 week club. There is a cost for the club, but Mrs Gregan has agreed to pay half of the fees for each child meaning that the cost for each child will be £14 for the course instead of £28.
There is a limit to how many children can safely attend, however, we will be able to continue the club after half term for those children not able to take part this time. Please complete the form below if you would like your child to take part. We will let you know the groups for the club early next week and then set up a payment on Parent Pay to pay to attend.
