A huge thank you to all of our families for your phenomenal response to our request for donations for Kenton Foodbank. We received over 500 items, which will be gratefully received by the Foodbank, and used to support families in our local community. A big well done to Year 1 who collected a whopping 216 items, and gained extra Golden Time for their fantastic efforts!

This week, the whole school joined together for our first ever St Cuthbert's Marian Procession to honour Mary in the month of May. The children in KS1 made beautiful rosary crowns to wear, and the children in KS2 brought their school Rosary beads along. We loved processing to church, where we sang a verse of 'Ave Maria', before continuing to our new grotto which was designed by our fantastic Student Council and Chaplain team for a decade of the Rosary.

Year 1 had a fantastic time on our lighthouse trip. It was so exciting to climb all the way to the top of the lighthouse and investigate the rockpools to find lots of different creatures! We loved dressing up as old-fashioned lighthouse keepers and we even had time to create some fabulous sand art. It was such a brilliant experience and the grown-ups we met were very impressed with our polite behaviour and excellent knowledge about the coast Year 1 loved the start of our topi

Reception have enjoyed playing lots of Maths games this week. We played the racetrack game where we had to roll the dice and see who was the first to get to number 20 and we sorted numbers into odd and even sets. We know that the number is even if all the counting objects have a friend. We loved walking around Kenton to look for people who help others as their job. We saw a postman, bus drivers, taxi drivers, shop workers and council workers. On Wednesday we came to school

As part of our Great Fire art unit, we have been experimenting with drawing fire using different art materials. We focussed on shape and movement Year 2 led an archaeological excavation this week. We looked at the historic land use and then dug in our trench. We found loads of pottery, building materials, coins, a vice and a marble!

This week, Year 5 (and some Year 6 children) enjoyed reading, preparing and performing extracts of poetry from 'The Final Year'. They also had a go at writing and performing their own poems. Year 5 enjoyed there 'Friendship and Teamwork' assembly. The message was clear. Our liturgical dance and song really embraced this idea - 'We all have a friend in Jesus'.

In Nursery we had an exciting time during our firefighter training adventure! We climbed a ladder, tackled the ring of fire, put out a blaze, and even saved a cat from a tree. We graduated on Tuesday and are now officially trained junior firefighters! On Wednesday, we had lots of fun dressing up as the people who help us in our community.
