St. Brendan's Primary School and Nursery

This term our interdisciplinary learning topic is Little Lighthouse. We have been enjoying the learning experiences and purposeful play activities so far. Painting the lighthouse scene was great fun and we were able to work together as a whole class to complete it. We have been collecting kitchen rolls so we can use them to create our own 3D lighthouse. We used card for the sea and painted it blue, the kitchen roll has been painted white and red for the lighthouse and we are adding cotton wool to create the rocks which the lighthouse stands on. The children have been enjoying learning about and investigating; creating sound waves, electrical circuits and we will be learning about programming later in the term. Mrs Young has been working with us in the kitchen to make food from The Lighthouse Keeper stories.

As we are preparing for our First Reconciliation this term and I would ask that you keep us in your prayers. I am delighted that the children have been working hard at home on their Family Workbooks. The children have been enthusiastic when reading and learning about the Bible stories. They have enjoyed that activities which they have completed in class; in particular the fingerprint and helping hands activities.

I hope you enjoy looking at our photographs below and keep an eye on Twitter for our weekly tweets.
