Our Year 5 candidates all campaigned hard to win votes to be elected for the school council. They said they would be good listeners and take requests from the children to School Council meetings in order to help improve our school. It was a close result but congratulations to Kyden and Daisy for…

Year 6 placed their votes before supervising the other classes as they came to place their votes.

Year 6 enjoyed enhancing their knowledge about electricity during their workshop from Electricity Northwest. They got involved in lots of practical activities and tested their own own theories about electricity. 

Year 5 are working with Mia from Cumbria Rivers Trust to make our new garden area. This week they have been busy moving all the wood chip.They all got stuck in and enjoyed the physical activity of digging, scooping, moving loads.

Year 4 have been writing their own haikus this week. We have edited and then performed them to the class, using intonation, emphasis and expression.

A massive congratulations to Paige-Louise and Ivy who won the vote and will represent Year 3 as…

Our Reception children have been exploring colours this week and learning how to make new ones. They chose two colours and mixed them together to make another colour. We also learnt how to wash our brushes too after painting with one colour and before choosing another one.
 

This week in Nursery we have been exploring the story of ‘Goldilocks and the Three Little Bears’ 

We have been making the three bears using different clothing puzzle pieces. We loved changing their outfits! 
 

This week we had a visit to St Bridget’s very own polling station. Year One enjoyed voting for their choice of school council candidate and posting their vote in the ballot box. School councillors were announced in assembly. Well done to our new councillors, Jack and Ernie. 

Year One have had great fun in exploring mark making in our art lessons. We have been learning how to make a variety of marks using different mediums, exploring how they appear on different textures. We were very happy and proud of our finished artwork.

In R.E. Year 2 have been learning about the Holy Bible and how it is made of two parts and 73 books. The children found out many more facts about the Bible before they used an online Children’s Bible to read stories they know and explore some new stories too.

Year 2 have been voting for the two members of the class they would like to represent them in the School Council during this academic year. Every child casted their votes and cannot wait to find out the result of the ballot to see who the School Councillors will be.
