Today Carys and Grace from Year 2 helped Miss Wilson present our Celebration Assembly broadcast and assisted Mr Patterson with his behind the scenes technical magic.
Miss White also presented Miss Wilson with her very own Gold Headteachers Award, for all of her wonderful work with the children who sang at the 190th Jubilee Mass at Church this week. What a wonderful way to end a fantastic half term.
Tonight we celebrated the anniversary of St. Mary and St. Thomas Aquinas Church, it was the 190th Jubilee Mass. Bishop Byrne joined us and our children had the privilege of reading the bidding prayers during Mass and then singing the Hail Mary.
We started the lesson with the big question – How do we experience God’s love and forgiveness in our lives. Then we listened carefully and discussed the Parable of the Good Samaritan. After that we split into small groups and acted out the story. Then we ended with ideas of how we could be a ‘Good Samaritan’ in modern times.
What a fantastic afternoon at the Gateshead School’s Cross Country event. The children were amazing – they showed great skill, determination and positive attitudes. One of the girls came third in her race and the Year 4 team secured a bronze. Well done everyone!
In art we have been looking at Henri Rouseau’s use of tones in his paintings. We used a basic green and then mixed it with white and black to create different tones.
