Nursery/Pre-School-R.E-Noah's Ark

In our R.E. lessons, we have been learning all about Noah's Ark. The children loved listening to Noah's story and understanding why he had to build an ark for himself, his family, and all the animals. They learned that God asked him to save the good so that the bad could be washed away. The children then got creative and made their very own Noah's arks, drawing the animals onto them. To finish off, the children drew lovely rainbows to put across their arks to represent God's promise never to flood the earth again.

Year 4 Holy Communion

Year 4 went up to Church this week for Holy Communion. It was enjoyable to take part in the service and Year 4 had spent time to think and write thoughtful and personal prayers, that they could choose if they would like to read them out. Almost everybody decided to do so! It was a lovely celebration and eating a picnic lunch together in the sunshine afterwards was a fitting treat!

Year 1 - RE - Naming Things in Nature That are Amazing, Interesting or Puzzling.

Our Year 1 explorers were out in nature today on a special quest. As part of our RE lessons on Creation, we have been looking closely at the world around us and naming things that we find amazing, interesting, or puzzling. From the intricate patterns on a leaf to the vast, changing shapes of the clouds, our children have been full of wonder and curiosity about the natural world.

Nursery And Pre-School - R.E - The Story Of Baby Moses

This week, our Nursery and Pre-School children have been exploring the biblical story of Moses, focusing on how his mother floated him to safety down the river Nile to be rescued by the Egyptian princess. The lesson began with the children watching an animated retelling of the story to build their foundational understanding of the narrative and its key characters. This visual introduction captured their imagination and prepared them for the hands-on learning that followed. Afterward, the children visited the dedicated R.E. table, which was set up with themed props. They used these storytelling pieces to collaboratively retell the journey of baby Moses, practice sequencing the events, and discuss the story with their peers. Alongside this interactive play, the children accessed the creative craft area to design their own scenes of Moses floating safely down the river. This blended approach successfully encouraged both spiritual reflection and creative expression across the early years classes.

Reception - R.E - Special Places with Lego

Over the last few weeks, the children have been developing their understanding of what makes a place truly special. To bring this learning to life in our recent R.E. lesson, we got out the Lego! The classroom was buzzing with creativity as the children designed and built the places we had been discussing. As they proudly showcased their creations, each child explained in detail exactly why their chosen place held meaning to them. It was incredibly moving to hear them articulate their thoughts, proving just how much their empathy and reflective skills have grown throughout this unit.

Nursery - Re - The Story of Moses

In R.E this week we have listened to the story of baby Moses. To help us gain a stronger understanding of the story, we created our very own paper plate craft activity were the children can see Baby Moses floating down the river in a little basket. The children then were able to use their craft as a prop and their thinking skills to retell the story of baby Moses to their friends.

Our Year 2 class brought the story of Pentecost to life today! After learning about the arrival of the Holy Spirit, the children used their creativity to build incredible Lego models representing the wind, the flames, and the disciples sharing their message with the world. Such a fun, hands-on way to explore our RE theme. Fantastic teamwork and imagination, Year 2!

Year 3 - R.E - What Does Prayer Look Like To You?

Our Year 3 class had an incredibly moving RE session this week using LEGO Serious Play kits. We asked the children a big question: "What does prayer look like to you?" The creativity in the room was absolutely inspiring. From quiet spaces of reflection to bridges connecting people together, the children built some truly wonderful pieces. What blew us away even more were the deep, thoughtful conversations that happened around the tables as they explained their models. It is amazing what children can express when they have the right tools to build their ideas.

Year 3 - R.E. - Learning About Mother Teresa

Year 3 have been diving deep into Religious Studies this week, exploring how personal faith has the power to change history. The children have been focusing on the life of Mother Teresa, looking closely at how her deep beliefs transformed her from a young teacher into a globally recognised symbol of compassion. Through their lessons, the pupils investigated how her faith gave her the courage to leave her comfortable life behind to serve the poorest communities in Calcutta. The class had some fantastic discussions about how inner convictions can drive people to make a lasting difference in the world, prompting the children to reflect on their own values and how they can show kindness in their daily lives.
