We have three superb peripatetic music teachers who offer weekly lessons at St Aldhelm's. This week, Mrs Brock joined us to entertain us with some amazing violin playing including pieces from Taylor Swift, Pirates of the Caribbean, James Bond and Harry Potter. We even had a spontaneous sing along to ABBA! Mrs Brock praised the children, firstly on their amazing worship singing but also their energy and fun. A joyous end to Friday worship.
Kingfishers some amazing recycled art to raise awareness of Plastic Pollution and these have been proudly displayed by the Art Bank in Shepton Mallet.
Some wow Science today 🤩
The children loved investigating the impact of increasing the number of bulbs in a circuit. There were great predictions made that could then be explored through practical experiments. The children used a light measuring app to gather reliable data. They tested their circuits multiple times and found the mean average. I was impressed with their conclusions and explanations for any anomalies. Amazing work Falcons 💡 👍
Owls will create an Egyptian Headdress but first they need to learn and experiment with some stitches they will need to use. It was cross stitch and blanket stitch this week! There was so much resilience shown and they really supported each other.
We are excited to take part in Thy Kingdom Come, a global wave of prayer that is happening between Ascension and Pentecost. Our challenge is to find different, creative ways to pray, remembering that there is no right or wrong way. So far, we have group gratitude prayers, prayer chains, and individually putting our hands together to say thank you for our food. We are excited to try new ways over the next 11 days!
After a Friday chocolate bagel, Breakfast Club ventured out into the glorious sunshine to play before school. Our Breakfast Club runs from 7.45am every day.
Spring has definitely sprung at St Aldhelm's. Mrs Bevan brought three beautiful lambs to join us. There were questions galore as well as cuddles for the whole school too!
We have an amazing team of cross country runners who run in the weekly club and Mendip races but some of our superstars were selected to run in the inter-area match representing Mendip with great success this week.
We are very excited to welcome our local community to join us for a fantastic performance in our school playground at 2pm on Wednesday 15th May. Please do share and join us!
Nightingales kick started their new enquiry unit of Our Local Area by taking a trip to the Glebe Land just outside of school. Nightingales loved the opportunity to explore their local area just outside of school by discovering dens, looking at what animals they could see around them and having fun in the field!
An amazing turnout for Easter Bingo organised by the PTA. Thank you to everyone who contributed eggs, came along to enjoy the fun, Lynne our Bingo Caller and especially the PTA Members who made it an enormous success. We were able to use the new speaker and mic funded by the PTA too! Learning together for life in all its fullness.
Falcons took the new Phizzi Science equipment outside to explore how to create circuits using different electrical components. There was some amazing collaboration and reflection with scientific questioning and ideas too. They finished as a class exploring using an energy stick, posing lots of science questions including how big they could make the circle of children to keep the circuit going and even exploring using faces and feet too!
