Greek Day
On Friday we celebrated Greek Day at St Vincent’s. We wore blue and white, the colours of the Greek flag. We found out lots of information, especially about Heraklion in Crete where our friends live. We watched some Greek dancing and had a go ourselves. In class we wrote stories in the style of a Greek myth. Some of us painted pictures of the characters or buildings we had read about. Others made clay pots and tiles or jewelery.
Parish Visitors
On the first Tuesday of each month we are delighted to welcome visitors from the parish to come and have lunch with the children. This week the children from Year 5 showed some of our visitors around the library and computer suite. They explained how to keep safe on the internet.
Multi-Faith Week
We had a wonderful week finding out all about other world faiths. Each class visited a different place of worship and we presented all our learning in a special assembly. Come and have a look at the display we have made around school.
