Welcome to St. Patrick's!

St. Cuthbert's Catholic School, Carlisle, Reception Class

Our class is called St. Patrick and we are taught by Mrs Wiedman, Miss Callaghan, Mr Blackley and Mrs Murray.

Keep In Touch

Facebook

We use a couple of different ways to keep in touch with parents and carers, so you can keep up to date with what is going on. Announcements are often put onto Facebook, as well as what we get up to day to day.

Tapestry

In Early Years, we use Tapestry to keep track of children's learning and to involve parents. All parents have a login emailed to them, but if you are having difficulties logging in, please let us know.

Class Dojo

Class Dojo is a reward system used across school. Parents have a log in and can also give rewards. There is a message function and announcements are often uploaded to Class Dojo too. Each week, the child with the most Dojo points gets a certificate in our celebration assembly.

This half term we have enjoyed learning about our own environment and how some environments differ from ours. We have used a story called “Handa’s Surprise” about a little girl who lives in a traditional African Village. We have enjoyed learning about Africa and compared this to where we live.

We have enjoyed tasting the fruit from the story and learning about the animals that stole the fruit from Handa’s basket.

Forest School

Every Wednesday , we spend part of the day in our amazing Forest School. Here we find out about nature and the outdoors while working together, being active and sneak some literacy, maths and creative learning in there too!

Please make sure children are dressed appropriately for Forest School, including a change of clothing and footwear. Wellies are usually a must!

As you can see it has been very muddy up at Forest School but the children have been birdwatching and making Peanut butter bird feeders as we considered caring for our natural environment and living things.

The children have also enjoyed making shelters and dens and digging for dinosaur bones!

Some super PE sessions including balancing and gymnastics.

In Expressive Art and Design we have been learning about an Artist called Peter Thorp. He creates pictures of Space. We will show you our Artwork at our Art Exhibition. The children enjoyed making junk model rockets too.
