Reverend Ian from St Johns Church joined us for our Easter Celebration assembly. We looked at the Easter Story and how sometimes the impossible can happen. Easter is a sign of new life and new hope and that we should rejoice in the lessons Jesus taught us.
Happy Easter!
Year 5 have been extremely lucky to learn some new dance moves!
We took part in an Indian dance work-shop and learnt the steps to a very famous song, “Jai Ho”. We put the steps together in sequence and performed our work-shop dance as a year group.
Everyone was on board learning the moves, and having a lot of fun on the way.
Well done Year 5!
During RE day Year 1 were looking at how Jesus is special to Christians. We looked at how Jesus was special to God and Jesus returned that feeling by making us feel that we are special too. We found out about the stories Jesus told and how they impact on our lives. We also looked at some symbols that were important in the Christian faith.
On Monday, in RE 4 Red looked at how Christians believe that Jesus is the light of the world. We learned that this metaphor is used because Jesus lights a path for Christians, it is also a symbol of hope and warmth.
As part of this, Year 4 developed their previous skills of making stained glass windows, this time adding symbols of light. Take a Look.
Wow, wow, wow! Reception were absolute superstars in the Christmas Nativity show, they have worked their socks off learning lots of songs and lines and are all truly magnificent stars in the making. We definitely have some budding actors and musicians amongst them and the Early Years team are bursting with pride.
As part of our Learning Means The World theme, ‘Happy to be me,’ we have been using our senses. We investigated some fruit and vegetables, then we decided to make some soup. We also talked about the Harvest festival and how we celebrate crops that are gathered from the fields and all the foods we eat. We also talked about how foods can be shared within the local community. This afternoon we tasted our soup, it was delicious! A big well done to children who weren’t sure if they would like the soup but gave it a try 🥕🧅🥦🫑
Today the children have been learning about harvest. We thought about the food that grows outside and who else might also like to eat it. We then made scarecrows to scare away the birds.
1 Blue went to visit our local church and were introduced to Reverend Ian. He was very informative about the routines and customs in a Christian church and gave the children a guided tour. The children had a brilliant afternoon and can’t wait to go back!
1 Red thoroughly enjoyed their visit to our local church and Reverand Ian was extremely informative. We had a great time and really want to visit again soon! We looked at all the features of a modern church and what they are used for; we sang and we learned about customs and traditions that are important for Christians.
This week we have read the Easter story and then used story stones to sequence it. We have made transient art Easter bunnies and eggs, used eggs to create number bonds of 10, bunny baskets and Easter nests and cards. We also used paint outside to create Easter eggs and wrote some amazing Easter captions, what a busy week 🐇❤️🥚🐇❤️🥚
