What a way to end a wonderful term together! I am sure that you were all moved by the children’s depiction of the Resurrection this morning - many a tear had to be wiped from the eye.

Year 3 Weekly Blog 'How will you be Christ's body here on Earth?'
I am sure those that watched Year 3’s assembly on Tuesday would agree that the children depicted the last supper beautifully, showing us the anxiousness of Jesus and His disciples for what was to come but also the love that Jesus must have had for all of us. A reminder that he left us with one very important message … that we are the work of his hands. Each one of them did so well, stayed in character and was extremely reverent in their delivery. We were so proud of them all.

This week.....
Holy Week at Nursery
It has been a reflective week as we have followed the schools Easter assemblies and their journey through Holy week. We have visited the chapel each day to discuss and retell Jesus’s last week. The children have asked many questions about why Jesus was crucified and which of His disciples let him down. The children thought they made ‘bad choices’. Each day we tried to understand why? What would we have done? How does the Easter story make you feel?
On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Gregan and Year six invited us to join their assembly rehearsal of the Resurrection. The children were silent and engrossed as the children depicted Holy Week using drama and music. We were all moved.
We started the week with finding lots of creative ways to make crosses. We even found them on hot cross buns. Then of course we had to spread butter on them and eat them, yummy! The children have asked me to buy some more when I go shopping…and of course I did! Who doesn’t enjoy a hot cross bun at Easter?
We must say a massive thank you for all your Lenten donations. I can announce that we have collected £131.49, our best year yet. I have passed the money to school to add to their total. When I have the whole school amount I will let you know.
The Platinum Jubilee
On Wednesday we started to discuss how we could celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. We discussed who the Queen was by looking at pictures, we found out her name and how long she has been Queen for (this did lead to lots of other questions about other royals and their palaces). We decided that we should write her a letter and send it to Buckingham Palace, we also drew pictures of Her Majesty! We then popped everything into a large envelope, popped in a stamp (large) and then walked down to the postbox to post it! It was soooooo exciting!
We are now waiting for a reply, finger’s crossed.
I will be sending our more information after Easter about our planned celebration. The children has lots of ideas.
Key Persons blog
What a joy to start every day with a lap or two of the field for our CAFOD Walk for Hunger and then gather in the chapel for part of the Easter Story and singing. It is so uplifting and we are pleased they have been teaching you at home their chorus of ‘Sing Hosanna’!
We have continued to practise our speedy sounds and rhyming games, and the children have been brilliant Bobby Bee’s. He is an enthusiastic Bee who loves to learn new things and he is helping all us in nursery too. We can chant together ‘I believe I can learn’ and if we find something tricky we have to remind ourselves of the key word YET as we say ‘I cant do it YET’ (but we will learn of course!)!!
Number 6 is becoming even more familiar and we are so proud of everyone for really working hard on their maths mastery. I wonder which numbers we will be looking at next?!
The children led us this week, asking to make a Dr. Surgery. We have loved having the role play boxes out and people awaiting treatment!!
We have also had lots of fun playing pin the tail on the bunny, lots of giggles could be heard during this game. Blowing bubbles in the garden also caused great excitement as they grew bigger and bigger.
We also had a great game of Pin The Tail on the Donkey, Easter magic box and dancing bunnies!!!

A note from Hannah
On a personal note I want to say a huge thank you to all parents for giving me the opportunity to work with, care for and love your children. It has been an absolute privilege to spend the last year in nursery and see them grow and develop as the weeks go by. I am so proud of them as individuals and am sad to be leaving them...but its bittersweet as I will only be over the garden wall in Reception and will hopefully get to see a good number of the class come to school in September! Working in early years really is a magical, the team here are fantastic and there is so much joy in everyday. I know the children will flourish when they return for the Summer term and I can’t wait to see them continuing to shine!
Hannah
As we have come to the end of another term at nursery I would just like to say that all the nursery team are so proud of the children’s learning. They never cease to amaze us at their eagerness to learn, their resilience when things go wrong and how they have embraced our nursery and school ethos. They all truly want to be more like Jesus.
On behalf of everyone here at Nursery I would like to wish you all a very Happy Easter and to thank for everything that you do for your child in support of Nursery. We are all so grateful to you.
We have more exciting (and challenging) learning planned for the Summer Term so watch this space! Make sure you have a good rest!!
Finally, the children have asked if I would upload some of the Easter activities we have done this week, I can’t resist their requests. Click on the buttons below to access them.

Friday 8th April "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No-one comes to the Father except through Me."
What a special week it has been. The children were very proud of themselves for their class assembly - didn’t they do well. It was their first one in a very long time! We also were lucky enough to watch the Year 6 assembly about The Resurrection of Jesus on Thursday . In RE children have done some beautiful reflections about the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus and what it means to them.
In English this week, we have become poets as we wrote our own Limericks about characters from our novel. These were very funny and children soon got the knack of them. We have also invented our own Firework display becoming Firework Makers ourselves!
History has been a bit gruesome this week - as we discussed Anglo-Saxon forms of justice and children had to rate them for how well they would actually control crime!
In maths, we have learned about multiplying using a formal method - long multiplication. We are just coming to grips with this method but some of us need to learn our times tables more securely!
In Science, children enjoyed looking at the composition of soil and we carried out some investigations - which was the best draining soil and which was the best absorbing soil. We also did the ‘soil shake off’ to look at the different layers. Who would have thought soil was so interesting!
As a bit of a giggle, the children strut their stuff in their new Tie Dye t-shirts made in Art class - welcome to the Year 4 fashion show!
Let’s Celebrate!
This week, our certificate winners are:
The whole class! We have been so proud of you for so many reasons. We decided on a Tommy Turtle certificate for a class of Brave learners - I know you felt some nerves about the assembly but you ‘felt the fear and did it anyway.’ You are all children who ‘have a go’ and your confidence in everything has grown so much! I love teaching you and look forward to the Summer Term when we will GO FOR IT!

Well… what a week! I was so proud of the children, as I’m sure you were too, when they performed their Easter assembly on Monday morning. The class had barely seen a class assembly, let alone performed in one, yet they all spoke with such confidence and expression! What a team they are!
