Over the half term break, Year 5 were given a Science project to complete. Children made a range of space type craft such as Space shuttles, space maps and my favourite of all- space cookies and biscuits!
The children worked extremely hard and their work is displayed all around our classroom.
Well done everyone!

Last week Year 2 went to Tesco for our Farm to Fork school trip. The day began by meeting Charlene and Beth who were teaching us about healthy living. We went on a hunt to find as many different coloured fruit and vegetables as we could. After that we learnt about how much sugar we were allowed to eat in a day. Lots of us were shocked to find out that some cereals have lots of sugar in, some even have more than our daily allowance! We then got to try some tasty healthy snacks. Finally we all got ingredients to make our very own muesli. We had a great day and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you to Tesco and as always, thank you to our parent helpers who helped out.

Today we celebrated United Nations Day. In Reception we found out lots of information about France. During the day we took part in a variety of fun and exciting activities linked with this country. We made an Eiffel Tower hat and a French flag to wave. Later on, we had our very own french food tasting banquet, consisting of french bread, brie, pain au chocolat and brioche. It was delicious! We also took part in a parade with the nursery children to show what we had made. It was a 'French-tastic' day!

We have had a busy first half term and everyone is settling in well. In English we enjoyed reading, writing and performing poetry and learning how to use dictionaries. In Maths we have been learning about 3D shapes and have been making models using straws and nets. As part of our ‘Amazing Bodies’ topic in Science, we were fortunate to have Mrs Allen and Mrs McCormack come into to school to talk to us about nutrition and how our bones and muscles work. During our final week we are also learning about the Sacrament of Baptism in Religion and will be carrying out our own mock Baptism on Thursday.

This week we have been looking at the story Where The Wild Things Are. We have been looking at the verbs in the story and we made our very own verb rap with actions. Later in the week we all went into the 'forest' and found clues from the Wild Things. They left rotten, yellow teeth that were as sharp as a silver sword. They also left brown, soft fur that was as fluffy as a cuddle teddy bear. We all came up with similes and tried to include adjectives too! Look at the pictures to see what else they found!

At St Vincent's we are a dyslexia friendly school and to celebrate every different type of learning yesterday we took part in 'No Pen Wednesday'. In Year 5 we spent the day enjoying multi-sensory learning through Maths, PE, Art, Music and Spoken Language. In Art we explored colour and tone by experimenting with a range of paints. The artwork is part of a project which is inspired by 'Charles Renee McIntosh' and we can't wait to see what we'll be doing next!

We have been exploring the song "Livin' on a prayer" by Bon Jovi.
We listened to the song and thought about the instruments we could hear, the vocals and how the song is made up. Then we learnt to sing along to the song. Yesterday we practiced playing along using glockenspiels.

This week was Dyslexia Awareness Week and we all took part in No Pens Wednesday. We started the day with a verb action rap followed by conscience alley focusing on the story 'Where the Wild Things Are'. We discussed whether the forest grew in Max's room and explained our reasons why we thought that. We discussed feelings and emotions also. We then moved onto our maths lesson where we learnt about the properties of 3D shapes, made nets and played interactive maths games. In Science, we catergorised items into living, non living and never lived.
We all throughly enjoyed our day and we learnt lots without picking up a pencil or pen!

Year 4 have been having great fun learning Gaelic Football. We have learnt how to pass the ball and the zones we can score from. The games have been great fun too!
Date: 1st Oct 2017 @ 11:05am
In Year 4 we have been learning to play Gaelic Football with sessions every Tuesday morning with a Gaelic football coach. Most of the children in our class are new to the sport but that has not stopped them from being incredibly enthusiastic and determined in these sessions. As a result, we have spotted some very talented Gaelic footballers in our class. The children now look forward to this session every week. The coaching for Year 4 will stop at the end of this half-term but those still keen to play can join Mr Sands' after school Gaelic Club.
Date: 1st Nov 2017 @ 6:12am
On the 6th October Year 1 and Year 5 came together to pray The Rosary. The children made the session very peaceful and prayerful and enjoyed the opportunity to share an activity.
