St Joseph & St Teresa’s We have had a very busy terms 3 & 4. During National Storytelling week, Nightingale class had a visit from Siobhan Goodwin to tell them the local legend of the Worminster Dragon. They learnt that the dragon is remembered every 50 years to stop it returning. Einstein and Shakespeare classes were visited by Kare from Carymoor Environmental Centre who led an assembly and a workshop about how to improve our reducing, reusing and recycling. The children took part in practical activities where they had to sort different recycling and then looked at some items such as bags, pencils and footballs that had been made by reusing materials. Rosa Parks and Malala classes enjoyed a day trip to Wells Cathedral, where they had a tour of the Cathedral, took part in a singing workshop and had a science workshop which looked at how an organ works and how air molecules are used to create sound. Shakespeare and Einstein classes had their sharing afternoon with parents. They joined forces in the hall where they completed lots of children’s mental health activities with their families. We had a parent come into provide our children with a lovely mindful yoga session which partnered with our National Children’s mental health week. We celebrated National Careers week and Science Week. We had lots of visitors come into school and share their skills. Liam Cahill from Road.CC talked about cycling journalism and youtube content. Malala class took part in a live lesson from BBC Teach, Wizarding World, where they learnt all about special effects. Rosa Parks took part in an engineering tower challenge and made sherbet. Shakespeare tested their own gliders, aeroplanes and helicopters. Every class made bread. Nightingale class went to Daluciano’s pizzeria to learn about their job and taste pizza. A huge thank you to all the other parents / visitors who came to support us in Careers and Science Week!
