This week, Hedgehog Class are learning the story “Jack and the Beanstalk”. They have planted their own “beanstalks” and learnt what plants need to grow. They can’t wait to see what happens over the next few weeks!
School News
Year 2 Multi-Sports Event
Some of our Year 2 children were selected to take part in a ‘multi-sports’ event at The Corbet School. They took part in activities such as penalty shoot-out, hurdles, obstacle courses and their favourite..the three legged race! They all had a fantastic time, and were super representatives of our school.
Open the Book
Our friends from the church came in this morning to do another whole school Open the Book. This morning, they performed the story of “The Unforgiving Servant” with some help from a few children in Owl Class. This helped us reflect on our school value of the month “Forgiveness”.
Our Class Visit to the Church
Today we went to visit our local church to find out what makes a church special to Christians. Once we got inside, we explored the building and spotted objects that we have already learnt about in relation to Christianity. Mrs Farmer then showed us around the church and taught us about some of its features and how some of the objects within it are used.
While we were there, we all sat silently and shut our eyes to take in the atmosphere of the church. We then thought about how this made us feel. Some of the words we came up with were peaceful, calm and relaxing.

Observational Drawings
For the next couple of weeks, Hedgehog Class are going to be looking for the signs of spring. Let’s hope the weather realises it’s spring soon too! Here they are doing some beautiful observational drawings of things we found outside.
The Story of Easter
Some of the Bumblebees have been learning about how and why Christians celebrate Easter. We read The Story of Easter and then the children re-enacted the story using our loose parts and small world people. The children made a cross and a cave using wooden sticks, shells, stones and wood.
The children were able to retell the story of Easter using the small world people.
Freddie ‘Jesus had lots of friends.’
Nancy ‘Some bad men put Jesus on a cross because they thought he did bad things.’
Julian ‘He sad.’
Laith ‘The bad men put nails in his hands and feet to make him stay on the cross.’
Alfie ‘Jesus died on the cross.’
Rosie ‘ Some men carried Jesus to a cave.’
Tommy ‘They put a rock in front of the cave.’
Phoenix ‘Mary went to the cave and saw a man.’
Ethan ‘Jesus said ‘I am alive again.”
