• Global Ambassadors Collective Worship

  Fri 31 Jan 2020 J. Langley

  Steph Cooper from Christian Aid visited Collective Worship on Thursday 30^th January. She spoke about how she had been a global ambassador when she visited Zambia with Christian Aid to help make a well. The children were really interested in Steph’s experiences and asked some great questions such as; Why do the children have short hair?

  Do they have any technology? Do the children grow as tall as we do? What animals did you see in Zambia? The talk helped us to understand how Christian Aid use the money that we raise.

  On Monday 11^th November we held a special Remembrance Worship in school. We watched a film about code breakers who worked during World War II and who work in code breaking now. We held a 2 minute silence and sang Peace, Perfect Peace. At the end of the worship each child stuck a poppy on a wreath, which were displayed in the hall. We have also supported the British Legion by selling poppies in school.

• Shakespeare Musical

  Wed 23 Oct 2019 J. Langley

  We were fortunate to have such a sunny afternoon on Wednesday for our Shakespeare musical, which celebrated the end of our Brilliantly British theme. The children in Class 1 and 2 started the performance by singing a song about castles. Then our musicians played Elizabethan Music on recorders and drums, to change the mood for the Shakespeare musical. The children in Years 5 and 6 acted the play which told the story of a Shakespeare play being performed at the Globe theatre. All the children in school joined in with the songs and have learned so many facts about William Shakespeare by singing them. Thank you to the family members who came to watch and well done to the children for performing so well.

• Blue Cross Assembly

  Mon 07 Oct 2019 L. Wells-Law

  Diana from Blue Cross (Pet Rescue) came to host an assembly at our school. She talked to us about: how to look after pets; what pets require (food, water, care, love, exercise) and the importance of being kind to animals. Our children learnt, through role play, how to approach an unknown dog and the three Cs of canine choice - check, call, count. Check is asking the owner if you can stroke the dog, call is calling the dog to you by patting your legs and saying 'Hello' and count is when you count three strokes and give the dog the choice to walk away or stay. 

  What a brilliant and very informative assembly for our pet-loving pupils!
