Making Paper Bowls

Hi Everyone! We are making paper bowls this week. It has been so much fun. First we got as much newspaper as we can get. Then we put them in buckets and put water in. The newspaper went into a pulp. We then got clingfilm and covered the bowl with it. After we stuck the newspaper on top of the clingfilm. We left the bowls to dry. Later on in the week we are going to be painting them any colour we want. How fun!

Fairtrade Bunting Update

St. Gregory's Primary took part in the Fairtrade Foundation World Record Attempt to make the longest piece of bunting - all Fairtrade decorated of course! Every class in every year group, including Nursery and Reception had a go at making some bunting which we hung up in school for the duration of our 'Fairtrade Fortnight' term.

All key stage 2 bunting was sent to the Fairtrade Foundation as part of their World Record Attempt. The fantastic news is that they achieved their target! The result has been submitted to the Guinness Book of World Records, more on that when the result comes in.

Well done to the whole school!!

From the Fairtrade Steering Group.

Read about it at the Fairtrade Foundation website.

Fairtrade Fortnight

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.

Visit to Tesco

St Gregory's Primary went to Tesco recently, as a Tesco 'thank you' for collecting so many vouchers in the 'Equipment for Schools' campaign.

Tesco Store Manager

"This is the second year we've been doing 'Equipment for Schools'... before that we were doing 'Computers for Schools'... There is a new vision for Tesco... it's not a small aspiration...there is payback for us as it increases loyalty.

Thanks for collecting!"

Michael Ellis MP

"I'm focussed on doing anything we can to help our young people and communities here in Northampton. One of the issues we do face is the difficult economic times and large companies like Tesco do have corporate responsibilities and are exercising that responsibility in the work they do for our children in schools."

Lauren (pupil)

"I enjoyed myself immensely. We got something to eat as well as getting a party bag and a toy of our choice from a penguin, Santa, or a snowman. We went because St. Gregory's had collected a lot of Tesco vouchers for schools and so Ellie, Frank, Mr MacMorrow and I were invited. We all went along and our Head Governor, Mrs Behan, joined us. Moulton School and Arbours School were also there."

Link to Images (Investigating in Science)

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...

The school have been having endless amount of fun from the 9Th till the 14Th of March with SCIENCE WEEK. The Year 6 have been using their fab knowledge to contrast their knowledge of Science and English together to create a magazine. Each classes in Year 6 needed to include different types of genres in their magazine so that it would be interesting and also exciting. Both classes were separated into different groups, each of the groups had in their team an editor,a sub-editor and some writers. Most of the magazines included instructions to make a paper plane which relates to what Year 6 have been doing as their science investigation. These magazines include pictures in them to show what the children been doing throughout the week. If you are soooooooooo interested ,click the play button to view our short video to see some.

6K Artwork

6K have been painting in the style of Bo Newell recently and I am pleased to present a display of their work on our Google Gallery. This beautiful piece of work below has been painted by one of our pupils, T.O. Here is what she had to say about it -

"I found the perspective on the tree the hardest [to do], then easiest [was] the plant (on the side) because I have a tree in my garden like it. First of all I never thought I could do it, I wasn't the best artist in the class. When I was finished I was AMAZED I had done it! I was proud of myself."

Sport

Year 6 took part in a sporting festival last week. The event was open to most schools and gave the children a chance to play a variety of different activities. Year 6 enjoyed cricket, golf and rugby and the afternoon was beautifully dry and warm too!
