Worship
This week we have continued our branch ‘To the Ends of the Earth’. Our key words this week were Christian, community and Sunday. Our child-led worship on Thursday focused on Ascension and Pentecost.
We looked at a picture of some people with flames above their head. The children said the words disciple, Jesus and fire. One child also said, ‘Jesus went up to Heaven’ which led us into our discussion about Jesus going back to Heaven, and the start of the Christian church. We heard that Pentecost was the ‘birthday of the Church’. After Jesus returned to Heaven a rushing wind and tongues of fire appeared, filling them with joy and courage to spread good news.
We watched this video: click here.
We started to make people in the workshop area to look just like ourselves. We thought about our eye colour and what we like to wear. We discussed how we are all God’s children and connected in God’s family. We all look different but God loves us all. We are going to attach them around our picture of the world, holding hands to show how we share God’s love with one another, just like the first Christians.
This week we have been having prayer and liturgy in the chapel too!
Learning Landscape
A different sort of week. To help our wonderful Year 6 children have quiet and stillness during SATs week we have been exploring the rest of the school and all our shared spaces.
We have:
held prayer and liturgy each day in the chapel
practised our climbing, crawling and balancing skills on the trim trail
had outdoor PE with Mr. Nay, where we have been getting ready for Sports Day!
played and did our learning in after school club…we loved it!
visited Forest School, which we always love. Mrs. Tierney put out lots of activities for us to do
continued our learning adventures in nursery too
discussed David Attenborough’s 100th birthday and created some collage animals for our display. We even had our picture taken with him!
for the month of Mary we have all made Mary decorations and a giant Rosary for our Worship area.
Sports Day
On last weeks blog I mistakenly said that Sports Day was on June 3rd…we are on holiday then, oops, sorry. Sports Day is in fact on June 10th 9.15 am. All children to be in nursery no later than 9 am! If it is not your usual session please collect your child immediately afterwards. Please make sure your child is wearing shorts, t-shirt, trainers and has a water bottle and sun hat!
Silly Hat and Sock week is next week!
Have you got your hats and socks ready! Remember that everyone can pay £1 (or more) for each day you attend nursery and come dressed in outrageously silly hats and socks. We are hoping to raise lots of money for the Lymphoedema Support Network, please help us.
Can you help out?
Next half term we are hoping to create art using natural resources. We would welcome donations of any picture frames (minus the glass) to make the designs we make more ‘professional’. Thank you in anticipation.
Half Term
Don’t forget that we break for the half term holiday Friday 22nd May until Monday 8th June.
Have a fabulous weekend and hopefully the sunshine will make and appearance!
Stay safe and God Bless
