We raised an amazing £250 for CAFOD World Gifts. Each class decided how they would spend their money raised. Class 1 have given goats and chickens, Class 2 have given two pairs of piglets, Class 3 have given a vegetable garden, water for a family and a school starter pack, Class 4 have given ducks, school starter pack and the gift of teaching someone to read. The staff also decided to not send christmas cards this year and have given a health kit and mother and baby care pack. Thank you for all the support in helping us raise such a fantastic amount and give the best christmas presents.
It was party time in Key Stage 2 on Tuesday. We had a boogy and played loads of games. It was great fun. We enjoyed our party food and even tried some mulled wine (non-alcoholic off course!). Take a look in the gallery to see all the festivities!
On Wednesday the St. Philip's Choir set out to the Metro Centre to entertain the shoppers. The choir sang carols and read parts of the Nativity Story, and finished off with some favourite Christmas songs! They drew quite a crowd and we're sure they spread a little Christmas cheer to all the shoppers.
On Thursday we had a visit from Micheal Glickman. He talked to us about the Jewish faith. We learnt about Jewish signs and symbols. He showed us items used and worn in the Jewish faith. To learn more, go to the gallery.
Key stage 2 went to visit the Great North Museum during the 'Pharaoh King of Egypt' exhibition. We studied artifacts and investigated all the different areas of an ancient egyptians life.We even got to be embalmers and create a mummy! Take a look in the gallery to see how we didi it.
Creativity has been flowing in Classes 3 and 4. We've been making egyptian death masks. Take a look in the gallery and see if you can work out who is behind the mask!
Listen to this...wonderful playing. Well done!
