As part of our RE learning, yesterday Tamar Class visited a Christian church to help them answer the questions: How do Christians welcome a new baby? and How do people show that they belong to each other? During their visit, they learned that Christians welcome a new baby through a baptism. Parents and godparents stand around the font while the baby is baptised. A cross is drawn on the baby's head and a candle is lit as special symbols. Family and friends then celebrate together to welcome the baby into the Christian community. Our learners also learnt that Christians show they belong to each other through marriage. A wedding is a celebration of love where a vicar reads from the Bible and the couple exchange rings as a symbol of love and commitment. The children had great fun taking part in a pretend wedding and baptism, helping them bring their learning to life.

This half term, Trent class have been exploring the design of Greek pottery. They have worked hard this week to create their final piece which was inspired by scenes of Greek warfare or mythology. This piece of art required them to use their learning of relief printing and the final pieces looked fab! Well done Trent class.

We now have seven butterflies hatched only a few left to go! Joshua Class have really enjoyed watching the butterflies this morning and were able to finish their butterfly diaries. The children have done some amazing drawings and written sentences to describe what the butterflies look like now. We then chopped up some fresh fruit for the butterflies to eat. Joshua Class are really excited for tomorrow, when we will be able to release them and watch them fly. Well done, Joshua Class, for making such brilliant butterfly diaries!

Despite the weather, netball club had great fun practicing their passing skills, learning to pivot on a landing foot and keeping agile by moving in and out of cones. We even got competitive by taking part in a 'speed pass' race.
