Our final visit to Egremont Library together as a St St Bridget’s pupil. Great to see everyone returning, selecting and withdrawing books independently with confidence, ready to be independent library users. 

Year 3 enjoyed listening to our class book, The Magician’s nephew, and chose a book to take home. Enjoy reading home Year 3!

We enjoyed choosing new books from the library van  for our classroom. The children can’t wait to read them.

To recognise World Ocean Day 2025, in Year 4 we learned about the impact of the huge amount of waste plastics in our oceans. We have all made a pledge to try to reduce the amount of plastic we use and just throw in the bin, rather than recycle. We have also spent the week collecting used plastics…

Year 2 thoroughly enjoyed their trip to the Rum Story as part of their history unit on the Whitehaven in the past. They learned all about how rum was made and how the Jefferson family played a vital role in the trade of rum and sugar in Whitehaven. What an interesting visit it was!

On Thursday Year 3 looked fantastic in red, white and blue. They all enjoyed a lovely outdoor picnic lunch followed by plenty of fresh air, making spitfires and colouring in. A great day to mark all of those who fought and died in WW11.
