Pupils in Year 1 and Year 2 proudly took part in the mixed multi-skills competition after school on Monday 12th January. They demonstrated excellent traits of sportsmanship, resilience and Mrs Byrne was very proud of every child. Six stations included opportunities to practice the skill of balance, hand-eye coordination, speed jumping and rebound catching. It was a pleasure to see the children compete, have fun and cheer one another on.
In our Early Years setting today, children enjoyed an interactive retelling of the story Dear Santa, then wrote their own letters to Santa.
Yesterday, we participated in the Quicksticks Hockey Festival at WV Active alongside 10 other schools. A lot of our children have attended our Hockey after school club on a Tuesday, so this was a perfect opportunity for the children to apply their learning in competitive matches.
The children had a wonderful time and participated competitively in all the games, showing a real improvement as a team the more games they played. Well done!
Today, some of our children represented the school at Boccia in an event at Aldersley WV Active. This is a strategy game, where children need to get their coloured ball closest to the white ball.
The children were a credit to the school and behaved impeccably.
Congratulations to our Confirmandi this year! A wonderful celebration was had in our Parish as 45 young people were Confirmed. How wonderful to have Archbishop Bernard Longley Confirm so many young people in the Jubilee Year.
