SPORTS RELIEF – We have been having a wonderful time today…raising money, having fun and keeping fit!!! Ask your child all about the teachers ‘step-up’ competition in assembly this morning, the planking competition between Ms Dempsey and Mrs Tyler and the race between Mrs Richards and Mr Riley! The children have also been learning all about the real difference their fundraising makes to the lives of others around the world – check out the Sports Relief webpage for more information.

Our Year 1 pupils have been learning all about giving thanks. They have remembered that Mass is a special time for saying thank you to God for everything  – especially Jesus.

A wonderful time was had by all those who left school for a couple of days to visit Winmarleigh Hall. Our children, as always, behaved impeccably and represented themselves, their families and our school beautifully. Mr Riley, Ms Barker and Mrs Pickett reported that the children did brilliantly making sure that they had a go at all the activities – even the scary ones!!!

Oh, how we love our sports at St Brigid’s! The children are busy learning new skills week by week and we have many talented games players, athletes, dancers and gymnasts. Watch this space for more evidence!
