St Peter's Charity Football Match- Friday 27th June

St Peters school are hosting a charity football match on Friday 27th June in which both ourselves and St Bede’s have been invited to take part in. The match is due to start between 3:45-4:00 and the event will finish around 5:30pm. The event will take place on the field of St Bede’s High School (which is also shared by St Peters)

This is an optional invitation but we would love to bring enough children to take part and help make this a memorable evening. A large full football match will be played with rotating teams throughout the match. This a call out to everyone who is currently in the school football teams this year- Boys A Team, Boys B1 and B2 and Girls team.

If enough people are interested, there is a possibility of there being a parents game as well! (Teachers included).

Please take the time to read about Patrick’s story and complete the form below if you are interested.

‘We are raising money to celebrate and honour the life and legacy of our beloved friend and coworker Patrick McCready.

Whilst working at St. Peter’s as our site supervisor, Patrick undertook the role of Girls Football Coach due to his experience and passion for the sport.

Every week, he would take to the field to coach the girls, and take them to their matches with other local primary schools.

However, his love for the game was not just saved for his beloved U11s team. It was a mainstay of our school. From chanting songs with the children on the playground to talking to pupils about the weekend’s results, Patrick’s love for football was clear and he shared it with all.

As such, in his memory, we will be raising funds for Rosemere Cancer Charity. This will take place through various means but will culminate on the 27th June, when we will be hosting a football match in his name.

This will allow our school community to celebrate his life, his passion and the impact he had on so many of our pupils.

All funds raised will go to Rosemere Cancer Charity, a cause close to Patrick’s family, supporting vital cancer care and services in our local community.

Please donate what you can and help us make a difference in Patrick’s name.’

Mechanisms- Moving Monsters.

This half term has flown by with an action- packed term of learning! We have been looking at Mechanisms, in particular, pivots and levers. The children have investigated and explored everyday items that use a mechanism to operate. We have thought about the input and the output of a device and what happens in between! Through exploration, the children used levers and pivots to make linkages. Using this knowledge and through discussion, we came up with a design- criteria to plan and create a moving monster for a Year 1 child. The children were so proud with their end product!

Next half term we are moving on to Food Technology, where they will be looking at nutrition and a healthy balanced diet, focusing on the different food types. They will then go on to use their knowledge, to design and make a healthy wrap. Your class teacher will let you know in advance of any ingredients that you child will need to bring for their session.

Have a wonderful May half term,

God Bless

Year 6 Weekly Blog 'Life is all about taking risks. If you never take a risk, you will never achieve your dreams'

What a wonderful time we have had on our residential! The sun was shining to whole time, which meant we could spend all our time outside, perfect to complete all the outdoor activities PGL had to offer! Every single child has reached their potential, challenged themselves to push beyond what they thought they were capable of and have shown such resilience and bravery! We could not be any prouder of them all. Every single one of them have supported their friends and as you can see from the photos there has been so much laughter and joy. We have all climbed, swung from a giant swing, shot arrows in archery, build a raft for on the lake and completed many problems and challenges- it was a very varied week!

The final night, was the perfect finale of our stay as we were treated to array of talented acts at the campfire. From theatrical performances, poems, dances, magic acts and a guitarist, to name but a few! What a range of talented bunch of children you have!

Enjoy the photos below which sums up our wonderful time away together making memories to stay in our hearts forever…

DAY ONE

DAY TWO


DAY THREE

Peter Pan

Year 6 have now all been given their roles for the end of year play- we are so excited to get started on it! I know each child will embrace their role and they will be encouraged both at school and home with great enthusaism! Every role in the play is crucial. Just like in a team, each member plays a significant part in working towards the shared goal. They will contribute to the overall success of the performance as a whole and help create something truly memorable. It will be a show  you won’t forget because they all played a part in creating it and we can’t wait!

Delving deeper through talk …


What have you done this week to make you feel proud of yourself?

What have you learnt about yourself during your time away?

Leading Learners

Well done to Jacob!

Jacob we were so proud of your bravery during residential… you started off nervous and cautious in some of the activities but the next day you woke up with a fresh attitude. We loved the way you challenged yourself to go beyond what you thought you could do- this takes such bravery!

Curious and Active stars

This half term we will be on the lookout for all the children that are curious in their , finding God in all things. Those who are active, who use their learning for the common good. Those who learn through actively engaging through probing, seeking, asking, challenging and questioning until the truth is plain. These children are the role models of the school, who drive their own learning and who have the wisdom to know when and how to apply one’s learning. This week we thank Rose for being both curious and wise.

Notices

Keep checking the school calendar as there is so much coming up!

Sculpture and 3D- Mega Materials

Time flies when you’re having fun! This half term the children have looked at and turned their hand to using varying materials to produce a sculpture. There have been many challenges in this topic with adapting and manipulating such differing materials, but none the less, everyone had a good go! From sculpting a bar of soap, to creating a 2D wire sculpture, many skills were needed through this half term! 

 

Next half term, we are turning our attention to Food Technology, where we will look at nutrition and how to adapt a recipe for personal choice. Our first lesson was terribly hard as we tasted and evaluated existing biscuits on the market! We will also be looking at budgeting, marketing and packaging 

Have a lovely May half term,

Mechanisms- Pop Up Book

My goodness, what a short half term with all those Bank Holidays! It has indeed flown by! This half term we have revisited mechanisms and have learned how to create a pop up. Through discussion of a design- criteria and planning, the children have created a pop- up book that they can share with their Year 1 partner.  Many skills are revisited in this topic from accurate cutting skills, the thought process of how something will move and the technique of layering so that the moveable mechanisms are hidden. We will complete this topic the first week back. I will add photos of all their hard work after the break.

Next half term, we are moving io to Food Tech, where we will be looking at nutritional values and adapting a basic Bolognaise Sauce to enhance flavour and nutritional value. Your class teacher will let you know in advance what ingredient your child will need to bring in for their session.

Have a lovely May half term

Electrical Systems- Steady Hand Game

How quick this half term has flown! In design technology this term, we have used our scientific knowledge of electrical systems to aid us with our topic. Through exploration of toys, we have thought about a product being fit for purpose, its function, aesthetics and target audience prior to the planning process. The children used their mathematical knowledge to produce a base made from nets. Then added their electrical system that included a buzzer. I am sure you can imagine the noise level within class as each child became successful in their task, producing a working toy!  

Next half term, we turn our attention to Food Tech, where they will plan a nutritious three course meal in groups. We have an added twist this year where they will be cooking it all in Forest School. Miss Lavelle and I are really excited to be doing this and cannot wait to see what they come up with! Your class teacher will let you know in advance what ingredients your child will need for their session. 

Have a lovely May half term break, 

God Bless

Pneumatic Systems- Pneumatic toy

This half term has been action packed with learning! The beauty of Design Technology is that it links to so many other subjects. Pneumatics certainly go hand in hand with science. We have explored and investigated what pneumatics are and how they worked. The children then used this knowledge through discussion, to come up with a design-criteria for a moving toy. Thinking about safety, aesthetics ang the pneumatics. They had such fun planning and creating their toys! 

Next half term, we are moving onto Food Technology, where we will be looking at nutrition and seasonal ingredients, then using that knowledge to design a healthy, seasonal tart. Your class teacher will let you know in advance what ingredients your child will need to bring for their session. 

Have a lovely May half term,

Mechanisms- Pull along Toy

This half term has been action packed with learning! We have been looking at mechanisms, in particular wheels and axels. The children have investigated what shape makes the ideal wheel and how they turn on an axel. They have practiced and fine tuned their skill of cutting a circle accurately and effectively using varying thicknesses of card. Through discussion, we came up with a design-criteria to make a pull along toy for a 1 year old child. This included safety aspects, aesthetics and the mechanism of the wheels and axels. The children have had such fun designing and making their toy, as you can see!

Next half term we are moving on to Food Technology, where we will be looking at nutrition and making smoothies. Your class teacher will let you know in advance, any ingredients that your child will be need to bring in for their session.

How blessed we have been with the weather!

How blessed we have been with the weather! The sun has shone, the temperature has risen, which has meant that the children have opted to spend as much time as possible outside. After a hard days’ work, there is nothing better than blue skies and fresh air.  Snack time has been enjoyed outside on the benches and a little treat on the hotter days with an ice pop to cool us down! Inside activities have included VE Day, St Georges Day and artworks for our summer display. Although a quick half term, the children have enjoyed relaxing and being together. Friendships are blossoming and new ones made on a daily basis.  

Thank you for your continuing support in our new venture- I cannot believe there is only one term left! It has been a joy and a pleasure to be able to support you with our wrap around care.

We will reopen on Monday 9th June at 7:45 am for breakfast club.

 

Have a lovely May half term break,

The All Stars Team

This week...

Last week some of our friends went on a tour of Our Lady’s church with Father Peter. We found out such a lot! Father showed us the font, tabernacle, stained glass windows and all the stations of the cross. Try and ask your child about our tour when you go to Mass on Sunday.

On the way back from church we popped into the social centre for a drink and biscuits, mmmmm. Take a look at our photos

Worship

This week during prayer and liturgy we have been discussing Ascension Day (click here) and Pentecost (click here).

Ascension Day is the 40th day of Easter. It occurs 39 days after Easter Sunday and it focuses on Jesus' ascension after his resurrection, and the message that he gave to his disciples right before he was taken to heaven. It also tells of the coming of the Holy Spirit (Pentecost) as promised by Jesus.

The children have been drawing pictures of what they think heaven looks like with Steph, we are going to put them in our Worship book.

We also asked talked about . . .

 our favourite part of God’s world and why they are important to you.

 why it is important the we look after God’s world and how we can do that?

 what you would change about God’s world?

 How could you make God’s world even better?

When we come back after the half term break we are going to go for a walk and find the most amazing thing that God created.

Hello everyone.

I can't believe it’s half-term already! 

We have been very busy painting characters for our display all about 'Once upon a time stories'. The children decided which characters they would like to see on the display. We had Little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Three Little Pigs, Rapunzel, The Big Bad Wolf and many more. All of the characters are from the stories we have been focusing on this half term. They have enjoyed role playing these stories too. We also made a magnificent fairy tale castle with a very long turret for Rapunzel to live in. We used lots of sparkles and metallic paints. It looks so magical, we are so proud of our display.

I hope you all have a fabulous half term. I can't wait to hear what you have all been up to. 

Fingers crossed for the sun to keep shining for us.

 See you all in 2 weeks.

Hello everyone and welcome to this week's blog.

This week we have taken part in lots of different fun challenges. We started with the buzz wire game, where the children had to have a steady hand to be able to move along the buzz wire without setting the buzzer off. It was very tricky. We then had a challenge to see if we could carry the most water from one end of the garden from the other using a scoop. We worked in our house teams and concentrated not to spill any. The next challenge was to work together to fill the numicon board. Numicons use physical shapes and tools to represent numbers and maths. They help children to better visualise the relationship and value of numbers. Each Numicon shape represents a specific number.

This activity was tricky as the shapes didn't all fit at first. The children had to work out that some shapes had to be moved and turned make them to fit on the board. However, we did manage it in the end. The last challenge was a subitising quiz where the children had to say how many objects they could see. They said they wanted to challenge you, so here it is. Click here.

Watch out, they are fast 

Have a lovely half term
