St Adrian's Catholic Primary School
To learn, to love, to live
Year Four had a wonderful day today, visiting the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden to see Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel. The opportunity to see this story staged was a great way to conclude our English writing sequence on this Grimm’s tale.
We were lucky enough to have seats right at the front of the orchestra stalls which meant we were also able to see Natalie’s mum in the orchestra.
Dear all,
You will now find Year 1’s home learning under the tab on the right hand side. The password is the one discussed at our parent meeting in the first couple of weeks of term.
Thank you,
Mrs Teixeira
Below, you will find pictures of the hand made Advent wreaths sent in over the past week. The children clearly enjoyed making them and enjoyed discussing all they had learnt at home. They look fantastic!
Our learning continues with an investigation into the science of string telephones. We learnt that vibrations from sounds travel through a medium to the ear: in our phones, the vibrations travelled through the air and the cup, through the string and then into our ears.
Earlier this term, children in year four took part in a national poetry writing competition promoted by Premier League Primary Stars.
Yesterday, we received a book bag packed full of poetry books in recognition of our entries. Well done, Year Four! We will have to wait and see whether our poems progress to the next stage of the competition. In the meantime, we can enjoy sharing our brilliant new books.
Year Two are very sad that their amazing display on Saint Teresa of Calcutta has been taken down. We are hoping to put their beautiful drawings up in the classroom. Meanwhile, the children have been inspired by the story of the Annunciation and they are now designing their own angels as part of an Art and Design Technology project. During your visit to the school to watch the children’s play on Thursday 13th December, please do take a look at our finished display of angels which will accompany the Angelus prayer in the dining room. We look forward to seeing you all then.
On Thursday, Year 1 and Reception joined together for a very special afternoon. Over the past four weeks, Year 1 have been writing stories based on ‘It’s My Birthday’ and, once they were finished, were able to go and read their versions to Reception. Year 1 were extremely proud of themselves and all of the hard work that they had put in. Reception were very excited to listen to their stories!
Reception were so inspired by the Year 1s that they had to tell us the story of Mr Wiggle and Mr Waggle. Year 1 agreed that they were fantastic!
Perhaps at the next Sharing Friday, you might like to come and look at all of the children’s fantastic work and effort!
O my Divine Saviour,
Transform me into Yourself.
May my hands be the hands of Jesus.
Grant that every faculty of my body
May serve only to glorify You.
Above all,
Transform my soul and all its powers
So that my memory, will and affection
May be the memory, will and affections
Of Jesus.
I pray for You
To destroy in me
All that is not of You.
Grant that I may live
But in You, by You and for You,
So that I may truly say,
With St. Paul,
“I live – now not I –
but Christ lives in me”.
