St Patrick's Catholic Primary School Newsletter 3rd November 2023 'Together we are growing in God's love'

This week, some of our year 3&4 pupils attended a let’s dance competition at St Benedict’s School🕺🏼💃☘️
They performed some solo pieces, duets and and absolutely amazing group number!❤️
They only had one day to pull the numbers together and as well as scoring high points overall, some of our students were awarded individual certificates! 🎉👏⭐️
Well done Joel and Florence who were awarded the certificates for most creative dancers and to Grace for best attitude overall!! 👏👏⭐️
We are so proud of you and all the team!! ☘️
We will share some videos of their fabulous routines!! 👏

Please can all parents from Years 1 & 2 collect their child at normal school finishing time, 3.15. All children will be brought back into school on their return from the trip, thank you.

Well done to our certificate and jumper winners today. What a great start after the half term break. Keep up the good work 💚🍀⭐️🍀💚

⭐️☘️ This amazing girl came to show Mrs Pritchard and Miss Wilkinson her maths work today and we were just blown away with the organisation of her work. Autumn’s English work is always of a high standard so we are particularly proud of her effort in maths too! Brilliant! 🥰 ☘️⭐️

We are so proud of Archie for his wonderful independent writing this morning. Amazing! ⭐️☘️

🧑‍🔬👩‍🔬Today, Mrs Benson Lester’s class have been investigating the Digestive System in Science. This included exploring how food travels through the digestive system, entering through the mouth, and out the other end! Some very focused scientists…until the experiment reached the 💩 stage! 😂🧑‍🔬👩‍🔬

HALLOWEEN DISCO- IMPORTANT NOTE🎃👻

🎃👻The disco is for school pupils only and will be manned by our school staff and PTA so parents do not need to stay. This is to ensure we can safeguard all our pupils.

🎃👻You therefore need to bring your child to school to sign the in on the ticket register and collect from the hall door at the end of the disco.

🎃👻KS2 children do not arrive before your allocated time as we need to ensure all younger children are collected first.

🎃 Reminder 🎃

Our Halloween disco is tomorrow. Please see picture for details 👻🎃👻

🎃👻🧙‍♀️Our Halloween disco is on Tuesday 31st October.

🎃👻🤷‍♀️Tickets will be available to buy from the school office from Monday 9th Oct!

🎃👻 Yesterday, Miss Rossi (our family support worker) and the autism support group held a Halloween party for children with autism, and their siblings. There was an excellent turn out and all enjoyed lots of fun and games. They raised a fabulous £138!
