The Ascension of the Lord, May 29th

One is All - Evans Yegon

The Ascension of the Lord is a special feast in the Catholic Church that is celebrated 40 days after Easter. It marks the moment when Jesus returned to His Father in heaven, after appearing to His disciples, following His resurrection. Jesus' Ascension was not a goodbye, but a promise: He assured His followers that He would always be with them, and that the Holy Spirit would come to guide and strengthen them. 

At home, you may like to talk to your children about what this means for us today: that even though we cannot see Jesus, He is still present in our lives, especially when we show love and kindness to others. We ask for God’s strength as we respond to Jesus’ call to “go and make disciples of all nations,” encouraging us to live out our faith every day, with courage, joy and hope, just as the Apostles did, almost 2000 years ago.

Butterflies

 

This week some of the children from Butterfly Class visited the Ethiad to explore their sensory room! They took photos on the pitch, visited Haaland's VIP box, and spent time in their sensory room!

Nursery

 

This week, Nursery have been learning the story Little Red Riding Hood. They have enjoyed this fairy tale and have been able to retell the story and act it out using the small world role-play puppets. 

In the creative area they have created woodland pictures and talked about the characters in the story. They have enjoyed playing with the loose parts outside also this week.

 

Class 1

Class 1 have been learning about 'Stewardship' in their CARITAS lessons this half term. Look at their fabulous display!

Class 2

 

C2 visited the Lowry this week. We explored some of L.S Lowry’s original artwork in the Gallery before heading a workshop. In the workshop we explored creating artwork inspired by Lowry using charcoal and paint. We all had lots fun being Artists for the day! 

Class 3

 

The children had a wonderful time exploring nature during their Forest School session, where they worked together to build a den using natural materials. As part of their outdoor learning, the children also enjoyed identifying different leaves and trees, developing their observation and classification skills.

Our Year 6 children enjoyed a picnic in the park this week, as a reward for their hard work and dedication over the last year in the lead up to the KS2 SATS.

C1 and C3- Lowry Trips

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the cancellation of the trip to the Lowry for Class 1 and Class 3. Unfortunately, The Lowry had transferred over to a new booking system, and our existing booking had not been transferred correctly. 

Our fabulous staff quickly came up with a Plan B, and Class 1 and Class 3 enjoyed a trip to Debdale Park. The Lowry Trips have been rearranged to Tuesday 10th June (Class 3) and Thursday 19th June (Class 1). Thank you for your understanding.
