Fairtrade Fortnight 2011

Click on the link above to view the album.

On 1st March we had a Fairtrade sale where we bought Fairtrade chocolate, drinks and many more fairtrade stalls selling other things! We had our photo taken for the Chronicle and Echo newspaper. This is because our school was participating in Fairtrade Fortnight. We also had a Big Brew where we gave Fairtrade coffee and tea to the parents to see if they liked it so if they liked it they could buy more Fairtrade coffee and tea.

Holocaust

Today is the Holocaust Memorial day and we an assembly about it with Mr.Clowes and we said some prayers lately. Yr 6 have been studying WW2 and know all about the horrific acts; this is a very sad day remembered all over the world but it is also a celebration because this is the day that the biggest death camp in the world was liberated, many of the victims did not survive but there are still a few who lived to tell the tale.

Our visit to Twickenham

Going to Twickenham, London, was a very fun experience. We listened carefully to The Pope as he was speaking about "To Live Life To The Full" and preaching the words of Cardinal Newman "Heart Speaks Unto Heart". Also they sponsored CAFOD which is our school charity. We enjoyed the company of Blue Peter presenter Andy who presented it in a fun way, and listening to two choirs that sung for The Pope. We are grateful that our head teacher asked us if we would like to come.

On Monday the 8th, Year Six Experimented on a interesting test...

We used red cabbage water as an indicator, to identify which solutions were acids, alkalis or neutral.

Gosh! A lot of posts are about science! I'd better stop writing about science in our school! There I go again...

Cinderella Pantomime

Our year 6 teacher, Mr C, will be bringing all of his talents to bear in the 'Cinderella' pantomime in which he and the F4C members will perform on February 20th and 21st for charity.  It is for a very worthy cause and should be a lot of fun too!

Snow is flooding in to our school! It's been deserted for several days!
The sad thing is, that we can't make snowmen with ice! But snow; snow is a lovely thing...

The Gospel Choir

From Misc Photos 2

The self-created Gospel Choir of Thomas Becket Catholic School joined our assembly recently, offering fantastic, spirited versions of hymns for our children to participate in and enjoy. The whole school took part, including our nursery children, many of whom will remember this assembly for some time to come, I'm sure! They provided inspiration for our own fledgling choir, too. We look forward to welcoming them back to St Gregory's in the near future.
