In this weeks Gospel we have focused on Jesus bringing healing and light into the world. We listened to the piece of scripture of Jesus healing the blind man. Jesus brought light into the mans life and He can does this for us too! The children have reflected on ways Jesus brings them healing, “he helps me to make good choices” “he helps me say sorry” “he teaches me to be kind” - the children all felt that Jesus helps them and guides them to help others.

Going deeper in conversation

In RE we have used drama to retell the moment Jesus entered Jerusalem. What can you remember? How did the crowds react to Jesus arriving? What did they do with their cloaks? Can you remember what special word they shouted?

Magic moments

We have had a super week in school and have really enjoyed discovering more about patterns and shapes in maths. It has been a real joy to watch the children so motivated to create patterns and for us as teachers to observe them exploring their spacial reasoning through, rotating, moving and fitting different shapes together. The buzz in the classroom has been fantastic!

A huge well done to Roxie who has been awarded our Determined certificate. Roxie your effort and determination is fantastic! Seeing your self confidence soar is just brilliant and one of the biggest joys to watch! This greater self belief is having such a wonderful impact in your learning and you are now such an independent little writer who has a go and doesn’t give up. We are so proud of you Roxie! Well done!

A huge well done to Ralph how has been awarded our star this week for being so intentional all everything he does. Ralph your actions towards others are so kind and thoughtful, you really are a calming friend for others. You use words of encouragement when you see someone in need, making sure everybody feels precious, you really do live our school mission statement.
