October news

 

Black History Month

This month through our curriculum, assemblies and online author events we have celebrated and recognised the fundamental part of British history that black people have had.  Black History Month gives everyone the opportunity to share, celebrate and understand the impact of black heritage and culture.

 

School Trips

We have enjoyed our first external trips since COVID this month. The Y2 children walked to Stewart’s Park to learn more about Captain Cook and our Year 6 children were invited to Trinity to experience the Science laboratory – they dissected a heart! It is great to be out and about enriching our in school curriculum offer.

 

Fire Awareness

As we prepare for Bonfire night our children across school had an assembly delivered by Dave from Cleveland Fire Brigade.  Please discuss fire safety with your children in advance of November 5th.

 

Harvest

Many thanks for your incredibly generous Harvest contributions this year. St Mary’s Primary School  in GrangeTown were so grateful for the donations. 

 

First Holy Communion Communion

The Y6 children enjoyed a wonderful party to celebrate the Holy Communion participants. Many thanks to the parents who contributed towards the food. 

 

Y7 Applications. 

 

Now our Year 6 open evenings are over, make sure you get your applications in on time to secure your child’s place at an NPCAT secondary school for September 2022.  Applications must be made via your local council. The applications window closes on 31 October 2021

 

Thank you 

Thank you so much to all of our wonderful children who have worked hard to be the best they can be this term. Thank you to the staff of St Bernadette’s. They are a dedicated and hard working group of people and we are so lucky to have them. 

Finally, thank you to our parents and grandparents who continually support the school and children in so many vital ways. 

 

We wish you a restful, safe and sunny half term, 

 

Miss Brady and Mr Conway
