WOW! Year 2 have had an AWESOME morning creating Pop Art Portraits!

Cally from Cotswolds Arts Through Schools joined us in our classroom this morning. She talked to us about what Pop Art is, what self-portraits are and taught us the steps in creating our own pop art portrait! It was very technical!

We are SO proud of the portraits we have created! 💥🎨

Early Years spent a very joyous afternoon in the woods looking at all the glorious trees that God had created. We spent a moment listening to the wind in the leaves and thanked Him for giving us such a beautiful world. One of our Live Simply pledges is to get to know our woods- our tree of the day was holly..we will return to the woods and learn the name of the tallest tree in our wood....any guesses as to what that might be?

As our fantastic Year 6s have been such fabulous role models, they have been given the opportunity to buddy up with some of our youngest children to support them throughout the year. This week, we met our buddies for the first time and we are looking forward to taking them to visit the library later on this week!

A huge thank you to Catherine, Flo, Marie-Bernadette and Tommy who led us beautifully in our Class Collective Worship this afternoon 🕯️.

We gathered together to listen to Parable of 'The Lost Sheep'. The children asked some thoughtful questions and the class responded so beautifully. We understood that God is like the shepherd guiding us (his sheep) on the right paths. The children responded to our liturgy by writing about how we know that God loves us 💞.

We look forward to more groups leading us in prayer each week and we are excited to welcome our prayer bear back tomorrow 🥰

Year 3  have been looking at Belonging and how special it is to belong to a group such as a sport, family or adventure club.

They discussed the roles and responsibilities we have in these groups and why we feel valued in these groups.
