St Chad's Catholic Primary School

Class 4 have continued their studies on South Africa and were lucky enough to be visited by an art teacher who helped them to create an African inspired piece of work. The children loved their art session and created a beautiful collaborative piece of art work. This will be put on display ready for our annual art gallery which will take place in July. 🖌️🎨🖼️

“I’m having the best time of my life right now!” 😊

Our Year 6 pupils have arrived safely at their residential and have already made some fantastic memories, learned new skills, and had lots of fun!

Throughout their first activities, they have shown excellent communication, resilience, patience, and teamwork. Every single child has shone and truly demonstrated the St Chad’s spirit, making us all incredibly proud.

We can’t wait to see what the rest of the week brings as they continue to challenge themselves, make lasting memories, and enjoy every moment of this amazing experience! 🌟🏕️

🌟 Anderton Adventure Day! 🌟

On Friday, our Year 3, 4 and 5 pupils had a fantastic trip to the Anderton Centre, where they enjoyed a day packed with exciting outdoor activities. The children took part in canoeing, orienteering, the Leap of Faith, axe throwing, tree climbing and a range of team-building challenges.

Throughout the day, they demonstrated excellent teamwork, working collaboratively with one another while showing patience, determination and resilience. They embraced new experiences, challenged themselves and supported their friends every step of the way.

Everyone had a brilliant day, and the smiles on their faces speak for themselves! 😊 We are so proud of the positive attitudes and enthusiasm shown by all the children.

Today the juniors had some very special visitors. 30 authors came to read their books to the children. Class 2 have worked incredibly hard and written their very own information booklets on animals that live under the sea! They had to do lots of research, drawings and fantastic writing to make their booklets. They then came and read to all of the junior classes. Well done Class 2, they were amazing!🐙🪼🐠🐬🐟🐳🐋🦈🦭🦀🦞🦐🦑

This week the children in Class 4 received another VERY special letter from… his majesty the King! They also sent him some letters about farmers being treated fairly and how they wanted to do something to help them. They were very excited to receive such a letter! I have never received a letter from the King before, so they must have been very persuasive! Well done Class 4 for working together to make a change!

Today, Class 4 were visited by Mrs Miller, who spoke to the children about South Africa and Apartheid. The pupils learned about the rich culture and beauty of South Africa, sampled some traditional food, and explored how apartheid affected the lives of so many people.

The children also learned about the meaning of “Ubuntu” which means “I am because we are.” This philosophy links closely to our St Chad’s values, reminding us that we are shaped and supported by one another. Ubuntu encourages mutual respect, empathy, and kindness, qualities our pupils demonstrate every day. Following today’s visit, the children are inspired to continue showing Ubuntu in their own lives.

Today’s visit truly brought the curriculum to life, and we are very grateful to Mrs Miller for sharing her knowledge and experiences with us. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
