St Bridget's Catholic Primary School

For World Book Day, we looked at the story 'The Day the Crayons Quit'. We came into class to find that all our crayons had quit! They were hanging from the roof and left messages for us telling us why they had quit. They even got in the way of us doing our work! We wrote letters about which colour was our favourite and thought of ways to please them.

We celebrated St Bridget's Day by gathering with our parish family in church. Oliver, Emilia and Fatima carried up the gifts as part of the Offertory. 

In class we looked at the story of St Bridget's cloak and made our own St Bridget's crosses. The children were very patient. We were very proud of Mrs Matthews, who after all her years in our school made a cross all on her own!

We have been finding how many groups of then there are in numbers up to 50 and representing numbers up to 100.

Here are some useful Phonics websites for your family to enjoy at home. They can really help with your learning!
