St Winifred's Catholic Primary School

Wishing you all a well deserved rest over the summer! See you all in September!

This half term, Year 4 have been working incredibly hard in DT. As part of their Rainforest topic, they have been designing and making poison dart frog beanbags. The children have been developing their sewing skills while having lots of fun creating their colourful and unique frogs.

Year 2 were very excited to take home their animal rocks that they have made this half term, for our earth art project. We think they look incredible!

We were extremely fortunate to have a special assembly today for all children at St Winifred’s focusing on water safety and ‘saving lives at sea’. We would like to thank the RNLI for these informative sessions and providing the children with key information that they will need through the summer holidays and beyond.

With the help of Mr Cunningham, the Mini Vinnies picked plums from our school fields, which were then collected by the food bank the following day.

Year 2 have been very busy today making stick frames, wrapping wool across the frame and then weaving natural materials into the wool to create wonderful works of art

During year 2’s earth art lesson today we created animal leaf pictures. There were a range of rabbits, butterfly’s, turtles, birds and kangaroos made.

Year 2 continued their earth art project this week and created sculptures using twigs, sticks, leaves, soil, wool and play dough

Year 5 started their Bikeability sessions in school yesterday. Today they will be leaving the school premises and cycling on local streets learning the rules of the road and how to keep safe, they will continue to develop these skills throughout the week and they are very excited!

A little sunshine, rain, plenty of care, and lots of Year 5 gardening club enthusiasm – our cabbages in our school garden are looking better every day!
