Children in Need!

November 2024

The children have donned their favorite Pudsey clothing to raise awareness for children in need. Thank you to all the children for taking part in such an important event.

Black History Month

October 2024

The wonderful Whitby children have been celebrating black history month by investigating the impact black inventors have had on the world we know today. We were inspired by the black musicians we met on our trip to Sheffield who were talking to us about black inventors. We discussed some influential innovators and discovered the life changing impact these had on the world. This lead us to research further into the likes of Lewis Latimer who contributed to the refinement of the light bulb and the telephone, Gerald Lawson who developed the first home video game and finally, Garrett Morgan who designed the traffic light.

Whitby Trip to Sheffield!

St Marie's Cathedral - Trust Mass

and visit to the Millennium and Winter Gardens.

We attended Mass at St Marie's Catholic Cathedral where the Bishop led the celebration for all of our schools in St Clare Catholic Trust. We deepened our understanding of the Lord's Prayer.

Then we had a picnic in the Peace Gardens, explored the steel city, including visiting the oldest building in Sheffield, the Cathedral and the winter gardens and millenium galleries. We had a moment of reflection at the Cenotaph, saw the Golden letterbox painted in honour Olympic medallist Jessica Ennis and then joined in with live musicians celebrating black history month!!!

Everyone who met our children and saw them in action were amazed by their listening skills, manners, confidence and behaviour - it was a truly wonderful day for everyone! More pictures will be added soon!!!
