  The whole school enjoyed their Geography Day. Each class explored a different place with Owl Class looking at the UK, Kite Class focused on the USA, Kestrel Class explored Italy and Falcon Class delved a little deeper into Greece, linked to their topic this term. 

   

  This was a lovely opportunity for the children to all find out a little more about different places in the world and better understand where each place is located in relation to where we live. 

   

  There was lots of map work, atlas study and learning about the world happening around the school – a fun day of learning.

• Honesty Value Day

  This term we are exploring our 'Honesty' value. As a school, we spent the day thinking about what honesty means and why it is important. We then came together to share what we had learnt and the exciting activities we completed based on this value.  KS2 read the Book of Proverb, while KS1 focused on David and the Wolf. The children enjoyed drama, artwork and Bible stories as well as writing their own prayers about Honesty.

  

• Christmas Service

  Wed 15 Dec 2021

  We spent part of the morning in Key Stages at the church for our Christmas Service. It was so lovely to hear some of our House Captains and children from Falcon class share the story of Christmas with us. The children also sang a range of Christmas songs including, We Wish You a Merry Christmas. We were very lucky to hear two brave year 6 girls sing the opening part of Once in Royal David's City absolutely beautifully. The Service ended with a blessing from Rev. Chris.
