• Our Little Athletes

  Thu 20 Mar 2025 C. Breeze

  Continuing our strong commitment to sport, our youngest children have been practising jumping outside in the sunshine. With lots of energy, they have been learning how to co-ordinate their eyes with their legs and learning how to balance correctly. Working on the big muscles in the body helps to develop the smaller muscles that we need for writing so lots of progress made in this session. Meanwhile Y1&2 have been learning how to exercise their bodies with some expert gymnastic moves. Brilliant work everyone!

  

• Parents In Partnership

  Wed 19 Mar 2025

  Have you seen how many opportunities we have created for parents to come in and join us…? We believe every child’s education is a joint effort between home and school so we have been delighted to open our doors and invite our parents and carers in to work alongside us, see how we teach and experience the joy of learning with the children. If you want to be as involved in school life as possible - St Bernard’s is the place to be!

• More Amazing Maths!

  Sun 16 Feb 2025 C. Breeze

  Did you know that this year we are part of a collaborative Maths Hub where schools work together to transform the teaching of Maths in the classroom and give children fantastic opportunities to solve mathematical problems and develop their mathematical language. Year 4 have been finding out about the power of the humble zero looking at all the amazing ways that it can change a number into something much bigger, depending on where it sits. Year 5 meanwhile have been tackling long division with ease and Reception have been finding lots of different ways to make five. Great job everyone!
