• Year 1 Fly 'Into the Unknown' for Class Assembly

  Fri 11 Mar 2022

  Year 1 did an absolutely fabulous job showing off their amazing learning to parents and carers in their class assembly today taking us on an adventure 'Into the Unknown' We were taken back in time by a real life time traveller to 1492 where we met Christopher Columbus and sailed with him on the Santa Maria all the way to San Salvador! We met a number of other famous explorers on our time travelling journey including Captain Robert Falcon Scott, Amelia Earhart and we even witnessed Neil Armstrong taking his first steps on the moon reminding us that if we try hard we can reach our goals and have 'A Million Dreams.' A true inspiration and a perfect five star performance.

• World Book Day brings book sharing fun across the school

  Thu 03 Mar 2022

  What a fantastic day we have had celebrating World Book Day. We kicked it off with a challenge from author Bethan Woollvin to create a new character for her book 'Three Little Vikings' and ended with a chance to share a story with other children across the school. 

   

  We saw characters from traditional tales and well known stories alongside superheroes, aliens and wizards. 

   

  An amazing and fun filled day was had by all.

• 'Flipping' Fun on Shrove Tuesday

  Tue 01 Mar 2022

  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 something 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.
