Statement of the Week I know that I belong in a community that
includes my
school
09 February 2018
Lions and Meerkats classes en-joyed a fantastic workshop on
Wednesday. The year 2/3s en-joyed sending a Pharaoh off to the
afterlife by making a boat, the river Nile and a pyramid with their
bodies. Children loved weighing the Pharaoh’s heart and discovered
it was lighter than a feather. Howev-er, they were disappointed
that they had escaped a visit from the devourer, who would have
come out to eat the Pharaoh. The children in Meerkats Class enjoyed
learning about the Olympics and re-enacting differ-ent events that
are believed to have taken place. Although, the girls did not show
much appre-ciation as they learnt that fe-males were not even
allowed to watch the games. They also thoroughly enjoyed acting out
different scenes from a variety of Greek myths.

Dress up for World Book Day – 1st March Get ready for World Book
Day, when children are invited to dress as a ‘ comic book
superhero’ of their own invention. There’s no need to spend a
fortune – think about the superpowers you’d like and get creative
during the half-term holiday. X-ray vision? Make pretend glasses
from cardboard! The power to fly? Grab some ma-terial for a cape!
Got a superhero name? Put your initials onto your chest! We’re
promoting the fact that children can enjoy reading that comes in
all different styles – and that includes comics and magazines too.
On the day we’ll be enjoying lots of fun activities, such as making
comics, designing superheroes, and coming up with action-packed
language for our stories!

Children tell School Trust in Jesus! Putting trust in Jesus was
the theme of Year 5/6's liturgy, which they held for the rest of
the school on Tuesday morning. Children acted out the story of
Jesus calming the storm on the lake, reading aloud in front of
their audience, and making sure visuals and sound effects
accompanied their mini-production. At the end, the whole school
sang the hymn Do Not Be Afraid and each child was given a small
prayer card to keep.
