Posted on: 12/03/2024World Book Day In anticipation of World Book Day on March 7th and 8th, we geared up for an exciting celebration . To enrich the experience, we organised an engaging line up of activities to foster a love for literature amongst our students. Firstly, we partnered with Arty Party to conduct a special art session where Year 2 pupils collaborated to create a canvas featuring their favourite storybook characters. We were thrilled to also welcome a guest poet who shared her captivating poetry with all our students and led an interactive poetry writing workshop tailored for Year 6. To add to the festivities, our dedicated staff dressed up as beloved traditional characters. Students embarked on an exciting treasure hunt, with each teacher guiding them through clues to discover various characters. In addition, we hosted a series of competitions including a poetry competition, book cover competition, and short story competition, with enticing prizes for the winners. These initiatives were designed to celebrate and encourage the joy of reading while showcasing our students' creativity and literary talents.
Posted on: 12/03/2024Football Tournament at St Paul's AcademyBoys and Girls Football Tournament - St Paul's Academy The boys' football team took part in the St Paul's Academy tournament in February. The squad of 6 boys were outstanding from start to finish, conceding only 2 goals throughout the tournament and going unbeaten. The final was a tense affair with St Patrick's ending in a draw, but the boys came out on top in a penalty shoot-out to see them take home the trophy. They should be extremely proud of their efforts. The girls' football team performed with great credit at the St Paul's Academy tournament in early March. They improved with every game, winning one group game, draw another and 2 narrow defeats which unfortunately meant they were knocked out after the group stages. They visibly grew in confidence in each game and represented the school with pride.
