  Wed 30 Apr 2025 C. Breeze

  What a fabulous day we have had today celebrating the power of Maths. We have made cheesecakes (using our weighing skills), practised counting our movements in PE, made repeated patterns and even measured the length of the playground …..all wearing our mathematical clothes - many of which were homemade! Magnificent behaviour and magnificent Maths!

• A Truly Beautiful Holy Week

  Wed 16 Apr 2025 C. Breeze

  This week, we have brought a close to all of our busy curriculum work, pausing our lessons and making our school quiet & peaceful to walk with Jesus on His Passiontide journey. We have celebrated Palm Sunday, broken bread at The Last Supper, prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane and fallen silent for the crucifixion. We have waved palms, made Easter cards, walked through conscience alley and re-enacted the walk to Calvary through The Stations of the Cross. A beautiful week, shared with our parents and carers, devoted to Our Lord. We are all feeling very proud to be part of the St Bernard’s family.

  

• Ready For Holy Week…..

  Sat 12 Apr 2025 C. Breeze

  Our Early Years children have made a beautiful Easter Garden for us, thinking very carefully about all the important symbols that make up the Easter story. We are now all ready to start our journey through Holy Week; starting with learning about Palm Sunday on Monday, The Last Supper on Tuesday and The Crucifixion on Wednesday. A very thoughtful and prayerful week to come so make sure you come and join us for all of our special events (see newsletter 11 4 25).

  

• A Fantastic Reward Morning

  Fri 11 Apr 2025 C. Breeze

  Today we spent a fantastic time taking part in our half termly Reward Morning.  As a treat for good behaviour, best efforts and a super attitude we had a morning of fun with Mr Shaw leading our newest addition to our sporting menu - Lacrosse, and our friends at Fifth Movement leading us in Dance, Karate and Tag Rugby. We even found a little extra time to make some gorgeous chocolate Easter nests to share. A brilliant day ……well worth working hard for!

• Expressing Our Emotions Through Art

  Wed 09 Apr 2025 C. Breeze

  We have been working hard across our school to develop our understanding of the Zones of Regulation. This work, aimed at supporting the emotional and mental health of all the children and adults in school is providing an opportunity for all of us to firstly learn how to identify how we feel and then take useful steps towards self regulation, finding that place of calm and readiness. Our brilliant Year 3s have used their latest Art project, focused on the work of Andy Goldsworthy, to depict their feelings using natural materials from our forest school. Brilliant work that has definitely put us all in the green zone!

  

• Year 4 Play Squash
