Remembrance Day 2025

We have learnt all about Remembrance Day and why it is such an important day. We all decorated our own poppies which have gone up on a whole school display. We have heard stories linked to Remembrance Day, joined in whole school and Key Stage worships remembering all the soldiers that bravely fought for our country and lots of us have donated and bought poppies too.

Bonfire Night

This week, we have been learning all about Bonfire Night. We heard the story of Guy Fawkes and why we celebrate Bonfire Night. We learnt how to be safe at a bonfire and when watching fireworks. We did our own super firework pictures too! Some of us were exploring in the woodland area and Miss Richardson came down to do her very own mini 'bonfire' with Nursery! They toasted some marshmallows and some of us were lucky enough to join in!

Creation- God made each one of us

As part of our RE topic this half term, we all decorated our own hand prints and added them to our class display, joined together, to show we are one big family; all made by God, with love.

Black History Month 2025

For Black History Month this year, we celebrated Black Excellence in the Arts by creating art work inspired by Alma Thomas. Alma is known for using water colour paint for her work so we used water colours to create abstract paintings. We loved making our paintings and they are now proudly diplayed in our classroom and in the whole school Black History Month book.

Creation

Our RE topic this half term in Creation and Convenant. To start our topic we had a walk around our school grounds to look for all the amazing things that God made. We looked for lots of things that made us say "wow!". We worked with a partner to draw everything that we saw then coloured them in when we got back to the classroom. We spotted lots of beautiful trees and plants, apples, grass, clouds and the Sun even popped out to say hello. We wanted to see some animals but only managed to see a couple of birds flying in the sky.
