The Good Shepherd

Catholic Primary School

“I am the Good Shepherd; I know my own and my own know me”. John 10:14"

Year 5 - St Thomas More

H&F Summer Football Tournament @ Ravenscourt Park

The boys’ and girls’ football teams took part in the annual summer football tournament at Ravenscourt Park. They competed against seven other schools in several exciting matches. The teams were a mix of year five and six footballers. 
The girls’ team- captained by Gabrielle- won one and drew two group games. They qualified for the knock-out stages and played St.Stephen’s in the semi-final, narrowly losing 0-1. They finished joint third overall.
The boys also qualified for the knock-out stages after finishing second in their group. They won their semi-final against Brackenbury after the game went to a penalty shoot-out. Julian saved twice to ensure our victory. They faced St.Stephen’s in the final. A very close game ended 1-1. It went to sudden death penalties and Julian saved the day again with a great diving save, winning the match and crowning the boys’ team champions! 
The teamwork and support for one another on both teams during the tournament was great to see.

Sports Day 2021

We managed to avoid the rain and have some fun at Sports Day!

Activity Day at All Saints Catholic College

Year 5 were invited to the annual Activity Day at All Saints Catholic College. We split into two groups to try out pizza-making and trampolining.

Sports Festival @ Burlington Danes Academy

Year 5 were invited to take part in a sports festival at Burlington Danes Academy. We worked in teams and competed in a variety of fun sporting events. The weather was lovely and everyone had a great time. It was the first sporting event the class (and anyone from the school) has been able to take part in since the indoor athletics competition last February! 

The Young Shakespeare Company perform Hamlet

We love Shakespeare at the Good Shepherd! The Young Shakespeare Company made their annual visit and performed a fantastic production of Hamlet for us.

Club 144 summer meeting

What secret things were they up to this time?
Clue: there was lots of adding up of decimals and it was something to do with the European Championships...

Sphero Temple Run!

We had to code Sphero to escape the monster by following the path. There was a wild river to cross, too. Some of us built a seesaw, others built a ramp or a bridge. Next week, we will debug our code and add matrix animations and sound effects

Using block code with Sphero

We started using block code to control Sphero. Each pair managed to make their Sphero move in a square shape and designed a simple LED matrix animation to show the shape we were drawing. Some groups even managed to code a route in the shape of a triangle. Tricky!

Virtual Galleries 2021- Year 5

Please take a look around the fantastic virtual galleries created by Year 5 to display their artwork.

Skip Week Champions: Blue Team!

Good Shepherd Skip Week 2021

The Blue Team managed the most, well done to them! Remember: keep on skipping!

Club 144 Meeting: The Egg Drop Challenge!

We explored the physics of dropping an egg from a height of 3 metres. We worked out that we needed to:

 Increase the time over which the egg was brought to rest.

 Decrease the egg's velocity at the time of the crash.

Milka, Caoimhin, Olivia and William won the challenge. They succeeded in protecting their egg, designing a parachute with padding to absorb some of the force of the impact. Well done to them!

SNOW DAY FUN

 

Hi everybody

Hope you are all enjoying the snow and ice.  I have attached some work for you to do if you find yourself at a loose end.

You can choose which comprehension exercises you want to do.  You will see that some are easier than others.  You don't need to download/print the documents.  You can just use paper to write the answers or do your Snow Day writing. 

If you want to plan a story involving snow, you can write your story when we return to school. 

You don't need to do everything that I have attached.  I just thought I'd give you some choice.

 

Stay safe.

 

Snow Day

Year 1 2016-2017

Year 1's Pirate Banquet!!

Gunnersbury Triangle Nature Reserve

Cooking a Filipino snack - Turon

We made a Filipino snack called Turon. Turon is a Philippine snack made of thinly sliced bananas, dusted with brown sugar, rolled in a spring roll wrapper and fried.

Traditional Philippine Dance- Tinikling

Tinikling is a traditional Philippine dance which originated during the Spanish colonial era. The dance involves two people beating, tapping, and sliding bamboo poles on the ground and against each other in coordination with one or more dancers who step over and in between the poles in a dance.

 

Everybody in Year 1 had the chance to either dance or clap the bamboo poles! It was tricky but everybody gave it a good go! Well done Year 1!

International Week

This week, we have been learning all about the Philippines. Today we had the opportunity to try on some traditional Filipino costumes. 

Laudato Si' week in Year 1

This week we have been learning about how we can respond to Pope Francis' letter Laudato Si'. We have placed a particular focus on recycling. We have learnt how to sort our rubbish so that we waste less, we have learnt how to identify what items can be recycled, we have made place mats entirely out of used plastic bags and we have also brought in our own mini recycling projects! They have been amazing!

 

Remember: Reduce, reuse, recycle!

Thank you Emily (Year 6) for inspiring the school to create Friendship Benches! What a fantastic idea!

Year 1's trip to Windsor Castle

Year 1's Jack and the Beanstalk assembly. Well done Year 1!
