Reception - RE - Diwali
To finish our unit on Christmas, we learnt about another festival that celebrates light in our world, Diwali. The children learnt about different sources of light and talked about how light does overcome darkness. We then had fun with candles, glow sticks and torches and sang a simple Diwali song.
Reception - Class Worship - Jesus Feeds the 5000
This morning the children learned about the story of Jesus feeding the 5000. We discussed how we would have felt if Jesus shared out our lunch to thousands of people, and we considered the things Jesus might say to us. Jack shared out some breadsticks with the class as we thought about this story.
Year 1 - RE - Epiphany
In Year 1, we have been learning about Epiphany and particularly about the Festival Of The Three Kings that is celebrated in Spain. The children learnt that in Spain they eat an Epiphany cake with a tiny figurine of Jesus or a king hidden inside, as well as a black bean. If they get the figurine in their slice of cake then they get to be king for the day. If they get the bean, they have to pay for the cake! We decided to all be kings and queens and made beautiful crowns to wear.
Year 6: R.E - Exodus
In R.E. year 6 have been thinking about what exodus means to Christians, with a focus on developing our understanding through subject specific vocabulary.
Key Stage 2 Christmas Carol Concert
Key Stage 2 were fantastic this morning in church for our annual Christmas Carol Concert. Everyone remembered their lines and said them so clearly, and the carols were sung beautifully by all. Well done KS2! Happy Christmas!
Year 5 R.E. - Sorting the Nativity Story into Matthew's Gospel and Luke's Gospel
In R.E we are learning about the Bible story of the Nativity. We have compared the story in the Bible to what we already know about the Christmas story, and found that some elements are in Matthew's Gospel (the three wise men) and some are in Luke's Gospel (the shepherds)! We then thought about why the two accounts are different, and the Gospel's audience and purpose .
Year 5 R.E. - Learning about Holy Books
As part of our R.E. Bible Topic, we have studied Holy Books from World Religions, including the Torah and the Qur'an, comparing these sacred texts to the Bible. We learned that the Torah is made of scrolls and must be handwritten, and that Muslims must learn the Qur'an by memorising the text. We played a game where the children tried to memorise parts of the first verse of the Qur'an to tell their team - against the clock! It was difficult, but a lot of fun!
Nursery - RE - Show And Tell: Recognising Family Members And Different Family Structures
During RE this week, Nursery class looked at our different families. We started by looking at a picture of baby Jesus and his family, the children noticed and named Mummy and Daddy in the picture and showed a good understanding of Jesus' immediate family. The children then got to show everybody their own family members! They took great joy in telling their friends about the pictures on the screen and naming who they could see. Some of our friends had really BIG families with lots of people and some of our friends had small families, we even had some pictures of fur-family members.
Nursery - Literacy - Creating Marks And Following Patterns
Making links with Diwali celebrations, Nursery class have been making marks and following patterns in glitter. The children selected their mark making tools and used their fine motor skills to draw in the glitter, noticing the black void that their movements had made. The children were encouraged to copy the shapes made by their teachers, mimicking small and big movements. Some children were also able to slowly trace the patterns drawn under the glitter to reveal the lines.

Year 4 Holy Communion
On Tuesday this week, Year 4 joined Rev Kev and some of the local community in church for a communion service. We enjoyed singing the beautiful hymn chosen, and listened and thought reflectively about the words spoken in the service. We had written our own hymns and some of us read them out, while others read part of a Bible reading.
Year 5 R.E. - Researching the Timeline of the Bible Translations
Year 5 used a website about the history of the Bible to help make timelines of Bible translations, going all the way back to the 1300's!
Year 6 RE
Year 6 followed the journey made by Bishop Philip and made lots of decisions to tell him where to go.
