THANK YOU AND WELL DONE.

Thank you to all of the Year 4 children and their families who joined us for Mass on Sunday. You made us all extremely proud of you. The readers read beautifully and clearly and the offertory procession children were very dignified and respectful. The singing was outstanding. It was a great pleasure to spend Sunday morning in such a prayerful way. Thank you to everyone.

Blakesley Hall

What a fantastic day we all had! It was an absolute pleasure to share the day with Year 4 at Blakesley Hall. We learnt lots of new facts about how the Tudors lived and about their houses. We sketched Tudor artefacts and the outside of Blakesley Hall. We practised writing with a quill pen and were able to create etchings of Tudor figures. Some of us even got to try out a feather bed!

Look at the website to remind yourself about the house and our wonderful school trip.
