Climate Change Workshop

Year 6 took part in a really interesting session this morning with Sam from SusTrans. We discussed some of the key issues related to climate changed and thought about ways in which we can live a more sustainable life.

Our nursery children made a wonderful start to our Christmas assemblies today.  In our special act of worship the children sang beautifully and reminded us all of the true meaning of Christmas.  We are so proud of how amazing they all were.   Well done children!

We love using the big blocks in the outdoor resource area.  Here we have created a strong house made from bricks, concrete and a tiled roof! This should keep out the big bad wolf!

In our RE topic, Prophecy and Promise, the children have been learning about the story of the Angel Gabriel visiting Jesus to tell her the news of a baby boy called Jesus.  The children have been using our small world nativity figures to retell the story. The children learnt about the love that…
