Year 3 Trip to the Manchester Museum
Date: 20th Jun 2017 @ 9:22pm
Year 3 went on a trip to the Manchester Museum to learn more about the Ancient Egyptians. We spent last half-term learning lots of facts and information about the Ancient Egyptians. This trip provided the children with an opportunity to further their learning and to discover other aspects of history that are on display at the Manchester Museum. The children and staff thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

The Junior Sports Day was a fantastic success. The children had a wonderful time, we had great support from family members and the sun even shone!

Oh no, the Normans have invaded St. Vincent's!!!
To celebrate our History day Year 3 have all dressed up as Normans. We have soldiers, kings, princesses and peasants roaming around our classrooms.
It has been a very exciting day, we have voted for a King of England, danced and replicated the Bayeux Tapestry.
Thank you to all the children and adults at home who have put so much effort into today, it has been fantastic.

The children (and staff) enjoyed learning about the Normans on our Whole School History Day. We learned about who the Normans were and why there was a Norman Conquest of England. As well as this we created our own Bayeux Tapestry and learned how to dance like Normans. We held an election to see which of the viable candidates would be crowned next King of England. See if you can guess from the pictures who won the election!

The children looked very smart in their Victorian Clothes today!
We recited our times tables, learnt a poem off by heart, read from the Bible and had a drill lesson led by Mr Kerigan. When people got things wrong they had to sit in the dunce chair with a dunce hat that the Victorians had many years before.
Isabelle Hevican rated the day ten out of ten and her favourite part was the fancy handwriting.
The main teachers were Miss Carr, Mr Kerigan and Mrs Duggan, They were very scary! This day was very excititing!

Our class have been very busy planting seeds. We have also started to observe and record what happens when we put food colouring into the water of a white flower and some celery. Over the next few days we will write down any changes that we see and decide whether our predictions were correct or not.

Today the charity 'Hand on Heart' visited Year 5 to train the children in basic life support and how to use the defibrillators kept in both of our school offices. The children listened very carefully and concentrated on understanding every important step. We hope that they never have to use their training but are very proud that they would now know how to help in case of an emergency. Well done Year 5!

Today Year 5 got into the character of evacuee children from World War II. We imagined that we had boarded the train from Altrincham, with our National Identity Cards in hand, to travel to a school in the Peak Distract. Here we would be kept safe and out of harm's way. We were sad to leave our parents behind but excited to see brand new sights in the countryside like cows and sheep! Our new school classroom was arranged in rows and we spent our morning completing arithmetic, handwriting and grammar exercises. In the afternoon we were put to work in the allotments; weeding and planting so we could earn our keep. Certainly not an easy job in the sweltering heat! At least we all managed to avoid the cane!

Mr McCann's class celebrated their first Holy Communion on Saturday 13th May. It was a wonderful day and thankfully the rain stayed off long enough for us to enjoy refreshments outside church after the service. The children's behaviour was impeccable and they were reverent and graceful at all times. Many people complimented the children on their beautiful singing. The Year 3 staff would like to extend their sincere gratitude to the children, their families and all those who helped to make the day such a special occasion.

We've been growing beans. We planted seeds and beans and now they are starting to take over! We also read the story 'Jacques et les Haricots Magiques'.
Fantastic children!

The wet weather could not put a dampener on our fundraising efforts today. After hearing of the devastating blaze at the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute (at The Christie Hospital), the Mini Vinnies led a whole school event in order to add to the funds to rebuild the institute. One of our parents, Dr James O'Connor, also came to support as his team has been directly affected by the blaze.
Thank you for all of your generous donations and support for this important fundraising event.

In Year 1 today we made the most of the beautiful sunshine by taking the learning outside for a short time. We listened to the story of Jesus appearing to the disciples in the 'upper room' following The Resurrection. We discussed with our talk partners the questions the disciples may have had for Jesus.

On Monday, we were given the opportunity to meet Premier League referee Anthony Taylor at Altrincham Community Hall.
Anthony has been named as this years FA Cup Final referee and not only did we get to ask him lots of questions, he also brought the actual FA Cup Final Trophy with him!

Ahoy me hearties! Shiver me timbers! Yo ho ho!
In Year 2 we have been imagining ourselves to be Pirates, sailing the Seven Seas. We have designed and made our own treasure maps and wrote a list of instructions. Who will find the treasure first?
Today all the Year 2 children went on a Pirate Treasure Hunt. We had to follow the picture clues of different settings we might find on a deserted island; from beautiful blue lagoons with cascading waterfalls to deep, dark jungles full of fearsome creatures to exploding, sizzling volcanoes. Each setting had a mystery letter which we put together to make the final clue. It was all a bit of a jumble and took a little time to decode. At last the secret was revealed! Can you spot the clue to the location of the treasure?

On Tuesday, a Year 3 and Year 4 team from St Vincent's went to the J Davidson Stadium to take part in the Altrincham Community Cup. We were honoured to be invited by Altrincham Football Club to take part. The St Vincent's teams impressed many spectators with their skill, commitment and sportsmanship. The Year 3 team went on to win the Year 3 tournament, bringing the trophy back to St Vincent's. The Year 4s were incredibly unlucky and were defeated in the semi finals after a gruelling penalty shootout. We are very proud of all those who took part and are grateful to those who were able to come and show their support.

The Year 6 children and the Mini Vinnies have been making Easter cards for residents of local Care Homes. Grace has been helping to deliver them - this morning we visited the Lady of the Vale in Bowdon.
Sister Magdelene was very pleased to receive the cards and she sent special Easter blessings to all of the families at St. Vincent's.
