Enriching Our Learning

9th November 2022Ms T Picken

This week we were very lucky to take part in some engaging workshops to enrich the learning we are doing in History!

 

Year 3

Year 3 experienced the Stone Age, Iron Age and Bronze Age through inspiring and practical activities. The children looked at time lines, maps, hunting and gathering of food, hands on exploring tools and materials, sketching and archaeology.

Year 4

Year 4 were transported back to Ancient Egypt! They learnt about the pharaohs and how the pyramids were built. They studied facts about the time period and learnt what it would have been like to live there.

 

Geography University Day

Today was our Geography University Day. Children have taken part in different learning experiences around school, developing their geographical skills and knowledge, helping them gain a deeper understanding of the world we live in.

 

Ask them what they have been learning!!

 

This afternoon, we showcased pupil’s amazing projects in our Museum. Thank you to all the parents who came to see the student’s fabulous work!

Holy Souls Mass

2nd November 2022Ms T Picken

Today we gathered together for our Holy Souls Mass. We prayed for those who have died and are in purgatory. Father explained the meaning of Holy Souls day and how it is a day of prayers and remembrance for the faithfully departed.

Immortal God, holy Lord, Father and Protector of all You have created, we raise our hearts to You today for those who have passed out of this mortal life. Amen

 

West Midlands Fire Visit

2nd November 2022Ms T Picken

We were very lucky to have a visit from the West Midlands Fire Service this week.

Pupils learnt how the Fire Engine is used and the role of the Fire Fighters. They also heard about the dangers with fire and fireworks, ahead of Bonfire Night, and how to keep themselves safe. Pupils loved using the fire hose and seeing all the different parts of the fire truck.

Thank you to the Bilston Fire Station for visiting- we loved it!
