A Very Busy Week!

Wow! What a week we have had!

Yesterday, we held our very successful Fairtrade Snack Sale. We have been cooking all week to prepare for the sale- planning, costing and cooking lots of recipes using Fairtrade ingredients.

We sold smoothies and hot chocolate to accompany our banana loaf, flapjacks, fairy cakes, Florentines, chocolate covered marshmallows, fruit kebabs, pizza with pineapple and many other treats!

The aim of our sale was to raise awareness of the importance of Fairtrade, as well as raising money for Oxfam's Fairtrade projects.

We can now announce that we raised a fabulous £95.70 profit, in just half an hour- a real achievement! Well done!

 

Our visitors also voted for our Snack Attack products- we will be announcing which team has won the school heat next week.

This week we finished our TV adverts, produced our magazine/poster adverts and made radio advertisements with jingles and catch phrases. Finally, we wrote our reports about what we had learned- the most important requirement of the competition. Good luck everyone!

On Thursday, we had a fun day- Miss May organised a super Science Day, with a helicopter competition. DANIELLA in St. Clare's won for UKS2! Well done, Daniella!

On Friday, we also enjoyed a play on the theme of 'Mercy' by the Ten Ten Theatre Company. They performed different plays all day for each phase group in the school, because we are celebrating the 'Year of Mercy' this year.

On Wednesday, we loved watching 'Amazing Love'; the Middle School Easter Play. It was wonderful!

Next week, we will be performing our Easter Liturgy on Wednesday at church. Remember, you must bring in your costume on Monday. Also, Madame Severine needs you to bring in your letter to your French penpal on Monday.

Have a lovely weekend!

Welcome to St. Clare's!

 
We have had a wonderful first week in St. Clare's Class! We are settling into our new room in Upper School and have enjoyed welcoming Finn back to St. Anthony's.

It has been a busy week; we tried the tiny glass tower challenge, wrote about where our 'Mystery Ticket' might take us, created beautiful imagination portraits, danced and sung with Bassistry, completed lots of Minecraft maths challenges, written letters to our future selves and started our CD weaving projects.... WOW! There will be lots of photos of these activities on the blog next week.

 We have another exciting week ahead next week, as we start our Inventors and Inventions topic!

Remember that you will need to bring in your swimming kit and P.E. kit on Monday.
