This week some of our children have enjoyed looking in the mirror and then using different loose materials to create their very own self portrait. 

Year 5 have been studying the artist Van Gogh and drew their own versions of his famous ‘Sunflowers’ painting. They sketched it out 1st then created vibrant colours using oil pastels. The end results were really effective!

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.

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.
