This week in class worship, we reflected on the Good News and the importance of sharing our faith. The children wrote prayers and responses to share with everyone.
A huge thank you to Catherine, Flo, Marie-Bernadette and Tommy who led us beautifully in our Class Collective Worship this afternoon π―οΈ.
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 π.
We look forward to more groups leading us in prayer each week and we are excited to welcome our prayer bear back tomorrow π₯°
The new tuk tuk is bringing out wonderful teamwork from both Reception and Nursery!
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.
Reception visited our woods for the first time, and they had a wonderful time exploring our wonderful woodlands!
What a busy day, Year 3 have been looking at the artist Yayoi Kusama and created some fantastic self-portraits in the style of her work (we were absolutely dotty by the end).
A very warm welcome back to the new school year!
We hope you had a lovely summer break.
πποΈ BIDDING PRAYERS ποΈπ
We have been exploring The Mass in our final RE lessons π―οΈ.
We explored praying for the needs of others. We had an incredible discussion around who we might pray for and why and then the children worked together to create this beautiful page in our Catholic life book. It includes some thoughtful words and stunning artwork capturing some of the responses used at Mass too! π
This week, we had the joy of cheering on our Reception children as they graduated from their Early Years adventure! There were big smiles, proud faces, and lots of clapping as they received their certificates.
Nursery children joined the celebration and even joined in with some songs to make it extra special.
The Nursery children are already dreaming about their turn on that stage next yearπ
This week we celebrated International Week and the wonderful diversity in our school! Children explored different countries through food, music, art, and storytelling.
Postcards from Oceania
Year 4 have been putting their imaginations to work by writing beautiful postcards from their “trip” to the region. From snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef to hiking through the rainforests of Papua New Guinea, their writing brought these amazing destinations to life.
The postcards were filled with wonderful descriptions, exciting adventures, and thoughtful reflections – a fantastic way to combine geography and creative writing.
It's been a fantastic week full of curiosity, joy, and celebration. πβ¨
