Merry Christmas!

We would like to thank all Parents, Carers and families for attending our Christmas Nativity this week. We hope it got you feeling in the spirit of the season as we get closer to the big day. All of the children have worked really hard to put on the performances for you and they have shown great courage and resilience in doing so. We are very proud of them! As promised, below are the images of your children. We wish you all a restful and peaceful Christmas holiday and a happy and successful New Year.

R.E. visiting our learning!

Year 2 had the opportunity to visit a local church to see in real life some of the things they have been learning about in their R.E. lessons. Despite the heat, we arrived at the church. We learnt about why this was a Christian prayer space and identified religious symbols and artefacts. Then we did a carousel of activities based on the Easter story to help us see how Christians can use prayer. We were all very respectful and had a great time!

Flipping good fun!

2P have been using our work on instructions to create and make a pancake batter. This also linked to our expedition as we explored the processes of food preparation. We also looked at the religious and historical background to why we celebrate Shrove Tuesday and how it is celebrated in different ways around the world. We chose different toppings and then ate them all up. Delicious!

The Christmas Story

Today, Years 5 and 6 welcomed a visitor who helped us to consider the true meaning of Christmas, encouraging children to be thoughtful about the important things during the festive period.

Well done for your amazing engagement and to those who shared their thoughts and opinions – it was really encouraging to hear your ideas.
