Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
We enjoyed wearing bright clothes today to celebrate the end of ‘Switch Off Fortnight’. Well done to the Eco Council for organising this and leading a worship about saving energy.
On Wednesday 28th November we had our Advent Afternoon. The children worked in their house teams and completed advent activities in each classroom which included Advent hat’s, calendars, wreaths and candles. In the hall we made advent hand print wreaths and also wrote kindness messages on our pebbles. The pebbles will then be hidden in the community for people to find. We ended our afternoon with a Collective Worship led by Rev’d Sarah and attended by our Foundation Governor, Mr Simpson. The children showed some of the things that they had made which all included the Advent Christian Values of joy, hope, peace and love.
Thank you for all of your donations during our Children in Need event where children dressed in spotty clothes and enjoyed a bun sale. We raised £165.40. This is the amazing Pudsey that the children made with Mrs Taylor in Forest Schools!
On Friday 9th November we held a special Remembrance Worship in school. Mr Atkinson came and talked to the children about World War 1 and how it affected families in our community. We presented a wreath to Mr Atkinson to be laid at the Whixley war memorial and two Year 6 children wrote a beautiful response prayer. The choir sang Shalom and we all sang Peace, Perfect Peace and It’s a long way to Tipperary.
During the week we have learned about Remembrance and the Armistice Anniversary. Children in Class 3 made clay poppies with the residents of St John's Nursing home which have been displayed in St Thomas's church over the Remembrance weekend.
We have also supported the British Legion by selling poppies in school.
