Year 5 had an amazing opportunity to spend time with Performing Arts students from Weston College. They planned and prepared workshops for the children based around the ‘Six Musical’. The musical is all about the wives of Henry VIII. This took place over two Friday mornings, with the action taking place in the classroom and the hall. It resulted in a final performance from both the college students and Year 5 pupils. The children enjoyed this experience working with the Weston College students. Everyone welcomed the RSPCA into school so all the children could learn about their work. On this occasion EYFS and Yrs 1-3 learnt about pets and how to look after and care for them, whilst Yrs 4-6 learnt about hedgehogs. Both workshops included a craft activity to support the children’s learning. We have also been busy on the sporting front, with the girls’ football team playing in a competition against 2 other local schools. They drew the first game 1-1 and then won their second 4-1. They then had to hang on for the result of the final game, which ended 1-0. This meant Corpus Christi qualified for the next round through scoring more goals. Mrs Richards took a group of children to Weston Playhouse to take part in a dance extravaganza. They spent the afternoon practising and rehearsing on the stage before performing in front of a packed audience in the evening. They have spent months religiously practising after school to perfect two dances which they brilliantly performed on the large Playhouse stage. This has been a fantastic opportunity and experience for the children which I know they have thoroughly enjoyed. The group were a credit to Corpus Christi school. A big thank you goes to Mrs Richards! In Terms 5 and 6 there have been lots of school trips and events. Luckily, we managed to fit in Sports Day over 2 days due to the weather, with everyone enjoying a picnic lunch on field opposite the school. Presently, the Year 6s are rehearsing for their end of year production of Joseph. EYFS, Yrs 1 and 2 visited Noah’s Ark to see all the animals. Year 5 have visited Taunton Museum to learn about the Tudors and spent the afternoon and early evening at St Bede’s in a musical extravaganza. Year 6 visited the Earth Science centre, exploring the beauty of the natural world, which included pond dipping. They also had a trip on a bus, through a First Bus workshop. They learned how to find the bus they needed using an app; bus etiquette and visited the bus depot to see the new electric bus charging stations. They also enjoyed Leavers’ Mass at the Cathedral. All the KS 2 classes have visited the Weston Islamic Centre to build relationships with our Muslim friends and learn more about their religion. To finish the year the Friends and Family Association have organised for the whole school to visit Puxton Park.
