Year 3/4 Shine at the Tag Rugby Tournament!

Using sieves, the children carefully sifted through the soil to investigate its contents. They were amazed to discover the variety of tiny animals, plant matter and…

Year 3 have learnt all about Our Lady of the Rosary and how to pray the Rosary. They also began to learn about the four Mysteries of the Rosary: Luminous, Joyful, Sorrowful and Glorious. The mysteries tell us all about Jesus’ life and Mary within his life. They visited the Grotto and created their…

Year 3 went out into Egremont to identify human and physical features. We found lots more human features than physical. Whilst we walked, we also helped to look after God’s creation by picking up litter. We had a great time. Well done Year 3!

Year 3 have been using thick paint to create texture and marks to replicate Vincent Van Gogh’s style. Exploring his famous “Starry Night” was fun. 
 

Year 3 learnt how to write algorithms to code a pirate parrot and take a route around a treasure map. They used turns clockwise and anti-clockwise to code. They enjoyed giving directions and planning alternative routes. 
 

Year 3 and 4 attended a local football tournament at Whitehaven. They played very well and behaved like perfect model pupils, representing St. Bridget’s beautifully. Well done team!

We all enjoyed taking part in a rock band today. We heard some wonderful music and learnt how the instruments work. It was great fun! I am sure we have some rockstars in the making🤩😂🤩

Year 3 and 4 enjoyed having a rugby coach from St. Benedict’s School to teach them some skills. Some children will be attending a school tournament later this term to represent St. Bridget’s. It was lovely to have the opportunity for everyone to experience the game.

Year 3 enjoyed listening to each candidate’s manifesto and decided who would be their best School Councillors. All children that put themselves forward gave a great speech. They went to the voting station to elect their choices. The successful candidates are to be announced tomorrow.
