In this weeks Gospel we celebrate Palm Sunday, the start of Holy Week, the most important week of our Church’s year. The children have a really good understanding of this moment when Jesus travelled to Jerusalem and the crowds so happily waved their palm leaves, shouting “Hosanna”. All our learning in RE this half term has been focused around Holy Week. The children have retold Palm Sunday through our own drama and have had the absolute pleasure of watching Year 2’s amazing assembly today! Everybody has come home with their own palm cross to carry with them throughout Holy Week.

Going deeper in conversation

Why does giving and receiving GRATITUDE feel good and make others feel good?

Magic moments

This week have have finished our unit in Maths which has been discovering shapes. This has been a real joy of a unit, one which we have adored observing the children as they have explored shapes, rotation and different pattern making. They have really enjoyed exploring this element of their spacial reasoning as have we!
