Year 6 are delighted to announce that their end of term production will be Beauty and the Beast!

Rehearsals are already underway - keep a look out for tickets and a date to be confirmed soon!

In RE this week, we were reflecting on what we think the Holy Spirit is. Many children said they think the Holy Spirit is inside strength given by God to help people to do what God wants. It was lovely to hear that children see the Holy Spirit at work in people at home, in school and even in…

Year 1 worked marvellously together in their Geography lesson, in order to put a map of the UK back together. We used this to help us to learn the capital cities and countries in the UK.

There are a few children in Year 1 who really love to write, and independently create wonderful little books for the class to enjoy.

We have had an amazing day dressed up as some of our favourite characters! We had Jack from Jack in the Beanstalk, King Arthur and even the Queen of Hearts. We also had several princess', Peter Pan and even Mirabel from Encanto (we didn't talk about Bruno!). Well done to reception for all your…

Before Easter, Y4 planted red and white onions. They are growing really well and we are doing a good job of weeding them and looking after them.

Year 2 led the class worship in the hall today. We shared everything we had learned at the zoo, listened to a reading from Genesis and thanked God for the gift of creation. Mrs Grierson was really proud of the class for speaking so clearly in front of the whole school.

This week, Year 6 have been really getting under the skin of the 11 disciples and how they felt during Eastertide.  We talked about the mixed emotions of joy and disbelief at the resurrection of Jesus and then we discussed how they would have felt when Jesus told them their mission to spread the…
