WW2 evacuee talks to Year2!

28th February 2016 By spidrwebadmin

Our Year 2 children enjoyed a fascinating talk from a real life WW2 evacuee, Mr Les Smith, and were able to ask lots of interesting questions. The children are currently learning all about ‘Great Britain’ as part of their creative curriculum topic in school. Year 2 would like to say a BIG thank you to Les for making the afternoon so special and helping us to understand why ‘Great Britain’ is so GREAT!

‘Mini Vinnies’ – turning concern into action!

28th February 2016 By spidrwebadmin

School had a lovely visit from Mr. Willcock on Friday morning, who spoke with the children about the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVP). Our children will be getting involved in supporting this society through a ‘Mini Vinnies’ club set up in school. More details will follow outlining what ‘Mini Vinnies’ do and their role within school and our community. A ‘Mini Vinnie’ page will shortly be added to our website in the ‘Pupils’ section but if you would like to find out more about the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and their good works then please do check out the following website link : http://www.minivinnies.org.uk

Ash Wednesday – The Beginning of Lent

11th February 2016 By spidrwebadmin

Repent and believe the Good News: Our school began the season of Lent by attending mass with our local parishioners for the Ash Wednesday service. It was a very special time that helped our children to reflect on ‘turning away from sin and having faith in the Gospel’. A focal point in school will be on display throughout the season of Lent to reinforce this message.

Year 3 turn into the Romans!

9th February 2016 By spidrwebadmin

Year 3 had a fantastic ‘Roman’ day today. The children dressed up in Roman clothes and learnt lots of new facts about Roman food. Even Mrs Wilkinson and our Chair of Governors, Mrs Jubb, dressed up for this special occasion. Mrs Jubb helped the children to make real ‘Roman Bread’ and our kitchen staff helped the children to bake it in our very own kitchen – Jamie Oliver would have been proud!

Once all the cooking had been done, Year 3 enjoyed their very own Roman banquet consisting of many Roman foods – they particularly enjoyed the Roman starter meal of mice dipped in honey!

Fire Safety is not a Flash in the Pan!

9th February 2016 By spidrwebadmin

Last week our children enjoyed working with members of the County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service (CDDFRS). The CDDFRS community safety team worked with the whole school in promoting fire safety, with a particular focus on Pancake Day. Our Key Stage 2 children learnt safe cooking skills within the kitchen and even managed to make some delicious and ‘safe’ pancakes! St Mary Magdalen’s would like to say a big THANK YOU to the community safety team who did a great job in getting the message across to the children.

Front Page News!! – find out more about what our children got up to on the CDDFRS news web page.
