Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Our school choir was delighted to receive an invitation to perform at a coffee morning at St Agatha’s Church. The young singers sang some of their favourite songs, including 'Lost in Space' by Alan Simmons and 'Sansa Kroma' arranged by Michael Scott for parishioners, family and friends. Well done choir. We are very proud of you.
An all-round effort was shown by the boys who attended a football tournament at Richard Challoner. They showed great team spirit, passing well to each other and were resilient with their defending. Winning one game and losing two by only one-nil each, the boys continued to demonstrate good sportsmanship between ourselves and other schools.
On Friday 2nd May we were so excited to take part in a Times Table Rock Star day. The children arrived in some fantastic costumes, and the staff did too!
Last week, children at St Agatha's participated in the TCS Mini Marathon around our Daily Mile track running 2 miles (16 laps of the track). The children varied the number of laps that they ran each day, with some committing to running lengthy distances in one go.

Year 4 enjoyed an exciting trip to Teddington Lock to take part in the River Thames Boat Project. They took part in a variety of different tasks which included water testing, riverbed testing, how the lock works and the importance of sustainable materials.
The children and the adults had a fantastic time, and we were very lucky with the weather too! We found out lots of interesting facts and our favourite fact was about the fish ladder and eel ladder. If you take a walk down to the lock, we are sure the children will point them out to you!
St Agatha's Book Swap is in full swing.
Every Wednesday, children bring in a pre-loved book they no longer need and swap it from a whole range of different books to take home and enjoy. Happy reading!
As part of Children’s Mental Health Week, the children at St Agatha’s had the opportunity to learn how playing sport and exercising can support their wellbeing. PE activities were led by Jack from Roar and were giving the thumbs up from the children.
‘It was fun. It was so fun. We went and played three games. The first one was when we were tagged. It was called Classic Tag. We also played tug of war. Each team got one point.’ Reception child
‘I really liked the dodgeball.’ Year 3 child
‘We pulled a rope together. One team was the blue team and one team was the white team. The games were fun.’ Nursery child
‘I enjoyed the medic dodgeball.’ Year 5 child
‘The dodgeball was great fun. It was a good experience at school especially as it helped us with our mental health and to get to know other children more.’ Year 4 child
In addition to the PE activities, the children were able to help build their resilience by having a scootering or skateboarding session. Here are some statements from the children:
‘I would recommend the skateboarding as it was really fun and I learnt how to do a pancake flip.’ Year 6 child
‘It was really good fun.’ Year 3 child
‘He showed us how to ride a two-wheel scooter and a bunch of cool tricks.’ Year 1 child
‘The scooter tricks were very fun and we enjoyed going around the cones.’ Year 2 child
‘I like how we were introduced to lots of new skills but we had a choice.’ Year 5 child
‘It encouraged us to try new activities and to learn new skills. It will give us more bravery and confidence in the future and we had a lot of fun doing it.’ Year 4 child
‘The skateboarding was so fun. We learnt how to do a pancake flip. It started off hard but it started to get easier the more we practised.’ Year 6 child
Other activities included making memory boxes for the children to be able to look back at fond memories that have been created. The children also very much enjoyed playing playground games such as hopscotch and popping bubbles thanks to members of the PSA who created them with chalk especially for Wellbeing Week.
‘I liked the Walk the Plank game where we could jump off into the sea’. Year 1 child
Year 6 have been enjoying practising their Maori moves whilst learning and performing their own Haka. One thing they have learnt, whether warriors or rugby players, it's very difficult to keep serious faces when you are having fun!
