What an exciting end to our very first term at Pope Paul! On Tuesday, we enjoyed watching the pantomime ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’, with our Learning Partners and the rest of the school.

After the excitement of last week’s Nativity performance, we have tried hard to keep to the usual daily class routines! In Maths, we have been very busy focussing our learning on the concept of time.

As part of One World Week, Reception have been learning about Italy. The children began the week by finding Italy on a globe, map and Google Earth- everyone thought that it looked just like a boot! They then found Rome and talked about how the postcard on our prayer table, recently written by the teachers, had travelled […]
