At the end of last half term, Year 4 enjoyed a visit to St. Lawrence’s church where Father Paul told us all about Lent and the Easter story. We found it very interesting as well as lots of fun.
Last week, we were fortunate enough to have a visit from Elizabeth the RE story teller with us in Year 1 and Year 6 telling us about the Nativity story and why Christmas is important to Christians.
Year 2 have had a lovely treat from Elizabeth the story teller. She told us all about the Easter story and why Christians celebrate Easter.
The children listening really well to Elizabeth
This year has been a challenging one to say the least, so our pupils have written some very considerate and compassionate Christmas messages to wish everyone a brighter future.
Our Outdoor Learning Classroom has been temporarily transformed into Harton Grotto! Pupils have enjoyed Christmas stories, Christmas carols, music and hot chocolate. It has been a big hit with everyone, and helped to spread some Christmas cheer!
Good afternoon! Father Paul from St Lawrence’s Church has kindly created a virtual assembly to celebrate the Christian Feast of the Ascension.
On Shrove Tuesday, traditionally people make pancakes. Nursery very much enjoyed preparing the ingredients and mixing the batter for their pancakes. They liked adding the toppings and eating. We think they enjoyed them! What do you think?
As you look around you will be seeing nature beginning to wake up from its long Winter sleep. What can you see in your garden? Blossoms in the trees, buds, bluebells, crocuses, birds returning and even daffodils.
A little while ago in Nursery we looked and some instructions to tell us how to plant and care for daffodil bulbs. We followed the instructions, watered and cared for the bulbs and took them home.
How are your daffodils growing?
Palm Sunday is on Sunday 5th April this year. Year 3 pupils have been learning about the significance of palm crosses to Christians, and about other symbols of Easter.
We loved receiving our Epiphany cards, letters and paper crowns from our penfriends from Noisy-le-Sec. The tradition associated with Epiphany, a Christian feast day on January 6th, was so interesting to read about. We liked the idea of having a galette des rois cake, and wearing a crown to be king or queen for the day.
