Year 3 have been using plaster of Paris and glue to make a 3D relief sculpture. They have used parleying to scratch patterns into the plaster, then gave them a metallic look with paint. The second sculpture was using objects in the plaster to create a sculpture. It was messy but fun. We were very…

As part of their maths work on position and direction, Year 1 have been looking at ordinal numbers. They had great fun taking part in different races and working out the position they came in. What an active maths lesson that was!
 

Year 5 have been swimming every afternoon this week at Copeland pool. They have all improved their swimming skills on this intense course. Today they learnt how to take off their pyjamas in the water and create a float for their life saving skills.

Year 2 have made their own printing blocks from coloured clay. They used the initial letter of their first name as inspiration. They had great fun applying paint to them and using them to create patterns by rotating and repeating them. They were very pleased with the end result and how much they…

Well done to Zabian who came 4th out of 12 in the Northumberland U13 Squash Tournament and just marginally missed out on Bronze by a few points. A fantastic achievement! 
 

Year 3 children dressed in blue, learnt about the Visitation, made miraculous medals, created prayer books and said the Rosary. We had a great day.
