Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Hawking class worked together like to geese and wowed us with their class assembly about the life, discoveries and adventures of Ernest Shackleton focussing on our Christian values of perseverance and courage. The children sang beautifully and spoke with clear, confident voices during their performance to the parents and visitors.
Well done to all of them.
Swashbuckling pirates, gangster grannies, Alice, Peter Rabbit and many more exciting book characters came together to celebrate World Book Day. We accepted Paddington Bear's challenge to create some beautiful bunting depicting food from our favourite stories and held a book sale in the library.
It was lovely to be able to share cakes with the children, parents, carers and teachers, after school on Shrove Tuesday. As Christians we believe everything we have is a gift from God and we are called to give thanks. At the beginning of Lent we are offering cake to help us to give thanks to God for all that we have received and to encourage each other to be generous too.
Our children came together on Tuesday morning for a wonderfully inclusive Collective Worship exploring the meaning of Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day) and Lent.
This is an important time of year for Christians. it reminds them of when Jesus was in the desert for 40 days and 40 nights without food. It was an important time and place for Jesus as he prepared for his work of healing and teaching. It was important that he was somewhere on his own, so that he could focus on God, with no distractions.
Lent is not only about giving things up. A different way of looking at it is to take somehting up for Lent. It may be a good time to 'turn over a new leaf' - a bit like the pancakes we flipped, we all have the chance to show a new side to us!
Dear God,
Thank you that during Lent we can think more about you and focus on you.
We pray that you will help us with the positive things we choose to do this Lent.
We pray also for all those in the world who have no power, no money, no food or have lost their way in life.
Amen
