July 2024

Well done to all of our wonderful Reception children! This week they painted portraits for their Year 6 Buddies, wrote thank you messages and presented their gifts during our Leaver's Mass. We have celebrated their successes and strengths during parent meetings and their wonderful Learning Journey books have gone home - to be treasured!

June 2024

Our school trip to Maryport Aquarium and Allonby beach - we had an amazing day!

May 2024: we have had lots of different weather this month; sunshine, hot spells and even torrential rain! However, the Reception children always love water play, their experimenting and investigating leads to lots of mathematical play. We have also taken part in our May Procession, taking flowers to the statue of Mary and celebrated Pentecost.

April 2024: during Seed Week we have been planting seeds in our garden, investigating seeds in fruits and vegetables and creating pictures. We have been outside in the beautiful sunshine, made patterns in nature, measured length and height as well as creating Pentecost artwork for our R.E. display.

March 2024: we have been vegetable printing, visiting the Library Van, celebrating World Book Day, investigating Science Week, learning fencing skills and playing football with Shaun @ No7 Coaching. This week we explored Holy Week, doing lots of crafts, working in our House groups and eating hot cross buns!

February: We enjoyed our tractor visit, even sitting in the driving seat! We have been playing hockey, baking bread (reading the instructions by ourselves) and learning about the artwork of Georgia O'Keeffe, inspiring us to paint large scale spring flowers and an oil pastel study which are displayed in the hall.

January 2024: Happy New Year! We have been exploring shapes in the ice, making junk models, acting out the story of Jesus presented at the temple, noticing growing shoots all over our garden, snow writing and lots more!

December 2023: making snow angels; Nativity pictures and models; building snowmen; performing the Nativity story; the Reindeer charity run; Christmas dinner and lots of festive fun! 

November 2023: we have tasted a pomegranate, in Pumpkin Week we explored and investigated, we created our own poppies for Remembrance, all of the children have baked bread and found different leaves in Leaf Week.

October: we have been to our school Harvest Mass, created house shields in our house groups. Also, model making, construction, playing basketball and body-boarding in P.E.

Buddy Assembly: thank you to everyone who attended our assembly this morning to present Reception with their Buddy Bears

September: Welcome to Class 1 - we have been very busy learning new routines, making friends and meeting our Year 6 Buddies. We have had visits from the Police, the Fire-brigade, a vet and the Blood-bikes. We have had a skateboarding lesson and had P.E. with Mr. French
