Year 6 began today with a wonderful reflective liturgy together with the parents, carers and family members who have guided them throughout their time at St. Edward’s.

We then celebrated together with a very rousing and celebratory St. Edward’s X Factor! The children were amazing as always and we enjoyed seeing the children sharing their talents on stage!

One more sleep, one more day.

Year 6 have been clapped out through school through a whole school guard of honour!

The Wednesday Word can be found at the link below, with a reflection for each of the Sunday’s Gospels throughout the holiday. May God keep you and your families safe during this summer break.

Year 6 have had an amazing day to begin their final few days at St.Edward’s. They spent the morning ice skating ⛸️ before visiting Fellinis Middlesbrough for an amazing lunch! Then, we walked back through the park back to school! The children have been amazing today and we are so proud of their determination on the ice and their manners at the restaurant!

Year 6 enjoyed an end of year pizza party after school this evening.

Year 3/4C have had fun exploring how magnetic poles attract and repel each other.

Year 3/4C have enjoyed investigating to see if objects around the classroom are magnetic or not. We’ve discussed the properties of a magnetic material.

Congratulations to all our pupils who made their First Holy Communion over the weekend. They enjoyed celebrating with a special Communion breakfast this morning and received their certificates in church.

Year 1 have had a brilliant time transitioning into Year 2. This afternoon they enjoyed some team building games getting to know their new classmates.

Today, our school was invited along to the NPCAT Sports award ceremony at the Riverside Stadium. St Edward’s were awarded shield’s for winning - Year 5/6 Hockey, Year 6 Boys Cross Country, Year 5 Girls Cross Country, Year 5/6 Boys Football winners and a silver award for the NPCAT Sport Trustmark. Not only that but two of our students were presented with trophies for Sports Personality of the Year.

Wow - we are so incredibly proud. All of our children are fantastic! 👏🏻

Year 1 have had a fantastic few days transitioning into year 2. They have enjoyed getting to know their new class mates, playing team building games and sampling the year 2 curriculum.

Year 4 have had a fantastic few days transitioning to Year 5. They started off with some games to get to know each other, leading on with team building activities. Then the children created some brilliant art work by drawing their inner and outer selves with words to describe their personality around the outside.

The final activity was to write a letter of motivation to themselves and post it into the letter box to then open on their first day in Year 5. Great work Year 4!

Another great day of transition for Year 5 to Year 6 😊

Year 3 then created some Stone Age artwork. Mrs Carney was very impressed!

As part of our Stone Age introduction, year 3 were investigating what people in the Stone Age era would eat by dissecting their…poo! They found fish bones, berries, seeds and lentils.
