The Courier

In RE, we have been looking at the importance of Holy Week and understanding what happened on the key days of Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. The children made crosses to highlight the importance of this sign in the Christian Faith and decorated stones to demonstrate their thoughts and learning. 

Class I children took advantage of some glorious Monday afternoon weather in their Science lesson this week.  Armed with clipboards and checklists, they searched the school grounds looking for signs of Spring.  We were delighted to spot bees, new buds, green shoots, blossom, spring flowers, catkins, berries and birds singing.

In Class I during our Art lesson we looked at what Easter meant us and decorated Easter Stones.  We all had different interpretations and decorated our stones beautifully.

Class II have really embraced their learning of the rainforest this term! Come and see their projects down in their classroom so they can tell you all about it!

Class III have loved investigating bread and have had the chance of designing, making and tasting their own bread rolls. Some very unusual flavour combinations but all in all, a great way to bring their learning to life!

In PE this week Class IV and VY made the most of the sunshine by practising their cricket skills.

There are two new displays which will be regularly updated as new information is taught and guidelines are released. In the hall we have our 'Keeping Safe' board which consolidates our Protective Behaviours themes and vocabulary as well as questions for the children to consider.

By the pupil entrance, there is useful information available for parents with regards to safeguarding and advice on how to keep our children safe. There is also a section about emotional well-being at school with some practical ideas to reduce anxiety and to identify triggers at school. 

Over the last few weeks all of our children have been learning about the meanings behind the words used in the traditional version of the Lord's prayer within their RE lessons.

Mr Thackway has led the move back to reciting the traditional version of this prayer in our assemblies, services and celebrations, so that adults and children alike can join in with this well known version.
