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.

Clive Cross country – Saturday morning
A brilliantly energetic team of our children gave up their Saturday mornings to attend the annual Clive School cross country event. A huge well done to all of the runners – Ruyton certainly won the trophy for the smiliest finishers!
All of our children finished the “proper cross country” course up the field and round the woods – they were all superstars! In addition, Magnus finished 3rd in his race and earned a medal, whilst Percy – who was enjoying his 10th birthday- competed against older year sixes and managed seventh position!
A special thank you to Deejay (Devon’s mum) for all her support on the morning and for completing the fun run with Rupert too!
World Book Day 2024
We had a fantastic World Book Day yesterday! We created our own story spoons based on characters from our favourite stories, then we shared our stories with each other. Some of us were even brave enough to share our stories with the whole class!
Art – Sculptures
In our art lessons we have been learning about sculpture. Today we looked at the sculptor Henry Moore. Henry Moore made sculptures of humans and human-like figures formed of simple shapes. We used pipe cleaners to make a mannequin, then we posed for each other and moved our mannequins to match the pose. We then sketched our mannequins in our art books, thinking carefully about the shape.

During Children’s Mental Health Week 2024 we explored what mental wellbeing means and reflected on the way the characters in the book look after their own wellbeing. We thought about what makes us and our peers special, and how this can promote our positive wellbeing. We created our own sketches inspired by Charlie’s beautiful illustrations.
