St Adrian's Catholic Primary School
To learn, to love, to live
On Wednesday, the children celebrated a liturgy with Father Francis. The focus of the liturgy was thanksgiving and the children enjoyed planning prayers, readings and hymns that they would use within the liturgy. It was a joyous occasion and the children prayed thoughtfully and sang with gusto!
In the event of school closure, I am hoping to provide activities via the Google classroom. It might be worth checking that your child is able to access this in case we are instructed by the Government to close in the coming weeks. Further details can be found below.
To access Google classroom, children will need to sign in using their school Google account.
Visit google.com and click ‘Sign in’ in the top-right of the webpage.
If you, or someone using the same device, already has a Google account, you will need to add your child’s school account and switch between them before accessing the Classroom.
How to add Google accounts
Once you have, set up your child’s Google account. You may need to switch between accounts for them to access the Google Classroom.

On Thursday, Reception and Year 1 came together to share books. Both classrooms were transformed into reading dens for the children, in pairs, to take it in turns to read a book aloud.
Hopefully we can make this a more frequent event as the children loved it!! It was definitely reading for pleasure!
The children in their classes used democracy and voted to choose who would represent them in the Eco Team and we are all very proud to have been chosen as our class Eco representatives. We are passionate about making a difference to our school and homes by making sure that we do all we can to spread good ideas about how to look after our beautiful planet.
Our first mission was to plant some trees to help the wildlife around the school grounds. We chose a great site for the trees, where they wouldn’t get mown down by the lawn mower and ordered a selection of trees that would be great for birds, butterflies and bees. When the saplings arrived, we got all the resources ready (compost, trowels, gloves, wheelbarrows etc!) and taught each class how to plant the trees Over the next few years, we will care for them to ensure that they grow as big and strong as the trees already in our school grounds. Here is one class in action!
Here are our plans for 2024:
Last May, working with ‘Recycled Clothing Banks’, we recieved a new addition to the playground: our clothing recycling bin and it have been wildly successful.
We are passionate about promoting recycling at St Adrians and we encourage you to keep donating clothes, towels, sheets, blankets, curtains or even shoes!
Thank you to those who were able to attend last evening for the Phonics screening meeting.
Below, you will find the slides from the meeting. If you require a paper copy of the slides, please ask and I shall get a copy to you.
Thank you for your ongoing support.

This is where you will find everything our Eco Committee have been working on.
Recently, we have gained our Bronze Eco-Schools Award and now we are working towards gaining our Silver Award.
We have all had a lovely end to the half term. It was wonderful to meet with all the parents at the consultations and celebrate the enthusiasm the children have for their learning.
We ended the week by thinking very carefully about our own wellbeing. We kept ourselves active by running the golden mile before school, during the morning, or both!
The rest of the morning was spent in the Key Stage One playground, where we planted strawberry plants and peas in the new raised beds. We have also planted some seeds in the classroom, so we are hoping that some of them will have started to germinate over the holiday. Fingers crossed! We talked about how gardening is a great pathway to wellbeing as it encourages us to take notice of the wonderful world that is all around.
