Alice Ingham RC Primary School

Everyone has made the most of the lovely weather this week, there has been a lot of outdoor learning, especially on Friday when we had our Outdoor Poetry Day. Pupils used all of their senses to write the most amazing poems.

We just need to remind parents/carers that if we continue to have sunny weather, children need to have a hat in school and have sun screen applied before school each day.

Reception children have been enjoying the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff as well as getting ready for the great Easter Story. They have also been learning how to subtract numbers using practical equipment.

Year 1 have enjoyed the story of the Gingerbread Man. They have designed and baked gingerbread men as well as creating a Gingerbread Man Hunt for their friends in Year 2. They have been solving addition and subtraction problems!

Year 2 have been writing non chronological reports about SHARKS and they have taken a musical walk through the Enchanted Forest. Ask you child about this!

Year 3 and Year 4 presented their Drama work for this term to their parents. Everyone was very proud of their performance. A big thank you to our parents and grandparents who came and to the Helen O’Grady Drama Academy who lead our lessons each week.

Year 3 have also been writing Adventure stories and Year 4 have been on a Music Hunt to Belfield Park.

Year 5 celebrated Holy Mass with Father Joe this week. Their theme was..The Time is Near…thinking about Easter. They have created some amazing Easter Gardens.
Year 6 had a fantastic Aztec afternoon on Thursday when they showed off their cooking, dancing and music skills all inspired by the AZTECS.

Our Playscheme Leaders have been planning our EASTER playscheme activities: Tues 10 April-Fri 13 April. There are still a few places left. Hurry, don’t miss out.

A big THANK YOU to all our parents/carers who came to Parents’ Evening on Thursday. What a lot of good news there was to share.

Another big THANK YOU to staff and families who came to support our Gardening Morning last Saturday.

Next week is HOLY WEEK and parents/carers are invited to join us each morning for a reflection led by the children.

School closes on Wednesday 4 April at 2 o’clock.

We wish everyone a very Happy and Blessed EASTER.
