This last week has meant that the children have adapted to a hotter learning environment than normal and they did this with such maturity. In D&T most of the children completed their CAMs project. Well done to them for their resilience throughout each session. As a class, we discussed what their successes were and areas to focus on next year when we have our next Design and Technology project! I have a video in the making and will share that with them in September and on our Year 6 Blog.
Mrs Lines, Ms Hilton and myself have enjoyed assisting your child with their learning and thank you for the report comments that were returned to us this week.
Thank you for the commitment you have towards your child’s learning and the generous gifts and flowers that we received yesterday and today.
Wishing you a wonderful summer – we are looking forward to hearing about all your holiday adventures in September!
God Bless.
Mrs McNamara, Mrs Lines and Ms Hilton

What a week! The sun has shone and Year 5 has been a hive of activity. It was Healthy Eating Week this week and Year 5’s focus was on getting more than their 5 a day. Thank you to everyone for bringing in their favourite fruits and vegetables- we have been feasting on them all week! It was a great opportunity for children to enjoy the foods they like, have something they haven’t eaten in a while or even try something completely new. On Thursday, we teamed up with Year 1 to make fruit kebabs and salads. Year 5 were exemplary in their behaviour with the younger children and supported them beautifully.
On Tuesday we held our annual sports day. Well done to St Bernadette’s house, our overall winners, and to all children for trying their best.
Today we took part in another one of our annual events- The Blessed Sacrament procession. Year 5 were again excellent role models for their Year 1 partners in the reverent and peaceful journey to the church. We hope the children enjoyed their well-deserved ice-lolly at the end.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend

Although this has been a shorter week for us, Year 5 have managed to cram in a busy week of learning!
On Wednesday, the children went to Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre – they met Katie their group leader who took them on a tour of this beautiful cultural landmark located on the bank of the River Thames and organised a very exciting workshop based on their Shakespearean play Macbeth. To enjoy the sunshine of the afternoon, the children went onto the picnic area of the Tate Modern and had lunch with their class mates whilst enjoying the pigeons who took a liking to the attention they gave them.
Not to miss out on the Daily Mile taking place back at school, the children completed their own daily mile using the large green outside the Tate and met Sebastian ‘the bubble man’ who had been invited to join us by Ben. Sebastian showed the children how to create the ultimate bubble solution and they went onto spending time chasing and bursting the HUGE bubbles he created on the green for them.
It was a lovely day and one which we feel the children will remember fondly.
Today, the class took part in the May Procession with reverence and respect, after spending their RE lesson exploring some of the titles dedicated to Our Lady by examining the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary and reflecting on what the titles mean to them.
In PE, the children continued to practise track and fielding skills -working hard on their throwing skills.
Wishing you and your family a lovely weekend.
