The day was a joyful celebration of the natural world and the importance of protecting it. ### Year 3 Become Wildlife Presenters Our **Year 3 pupils** became wildlife presenters for the day, working in groups to research **endangered animals**. They explored: - Where animals live - What they eat - How we can help protect them Pupils then confidently shared their facts with the class in true **David Attenborough style**, showing fantastic teamwork, enthusiasm and subject knowledge. ### Caring for Our Amazing Planet The day was filled with fun, learning and meaningful discussion, helping children understand their role in caring for **our amazing planet**. A truly fantastic celebration inspired by a remarkable life. ![](https://st-patrick-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/images/693211240_122214805988569418_3945353378469114675_n.jpg)![](https://st-patrick-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/images/696041256_122214805802569418_3858382539254532856_n.jpg) [ Year 5 Walk for Motor Neurone Disease Awareness](https://st-patrick-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/news/2026-03-30-year-5-walk-for-motor-neurone-disease-awareness) [Anti‑Racism in Action: Learning to Champion Kindness and Inclusion ](https://st-patrick-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/news/2026-05-11-anti-racism-in-action-learning-to-champion-kindness-and-inclusion) ![St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-patrick-s-catholic-primary-school-2/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School Lingfield Road Fairfield Stockton-on-Tees TS19 7PL 01642 580850 01642 570697 - [Online Payments](https://www.mychildatschool.com/MCAS/MCSParentLogin) - [Teams FAQs](https://bhcet.org.uk/information/teams-faqs/) - [Office 365](https://outlook.office365.com/carmel.org.uk) - [Remote Access](https://remote.carmel.org.uk/) - [Liturgy](https://liturgy.bhcet.org.uk/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stpatricksrcprimaryfairfield) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stpatricksfairfield/) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-patrick-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
