Wow! Look at what Year 1 are creating today! Super talented artists they are! 🎨 Specialising in the work of Kandinsky 💕

Thank-you so much to all of the families who, once again, helped to support Operation Christmas Child. We were able to send almost 70 boxes overseas for children in other countries to open on Christmas Day. Please take a moment on Christmas morning to think about the difference you have made and send a prayer to the child who will be opening your gift.

#Remembrance 2019
For this years Arts Week; we focused on Remembrance. The children have been remembering through creative artwork, those that have fallen. We thank all those men & women who lost their lives so that we have the lives we live today.

Yippee- it’s finally finished. 🙏😀🙏
 

Today, we opened our brand new kitchen in school. All the staff & children loved the food; so much to choose from: homemade lasagne, pizza, baked potatoes, help yourself to the salad bar, and much, much more. The Lunch Bunch were on hand to offer support to the little ones as they battled with the new technology and tried to carry their trays for the very first time, and our new cook, Sue, 👩🏼‍🍳 said our children had impeccable manners. ☺️
 

It was wonderful to see how much the children enjoyed the food; some even had seconds; nothing going to waste. 
 

We cannot wait to grow our own vegetables in the Spring Term, which we will then use to teach the children as part of our healthy eating programme ; cooking in the curriculum. 🍎🍌🥔🍓🥦🥕🌽🥒🥬🍨🌮🍕

 

 

Today lessons stopped as we fell silent and remembered the brave soldiers who laid down their lives for us.

As Mrs Woods played ‘The Last Post’ on her trumpet, we thought about the sacrifices all of the brave soldiers made and continue to make for us and our freedom.

We held a 2 minute silence which was impeccably observed by our children. 

Some of our girls from school, including our Head Girl, represented their Brownie Group at the Remembrance Parade today! Great ambassadors for their Brownie Pack and especially our school. Well done girls; leading by example; dare to be a Disciple 🙏💕🙏

Today we remember all those who lost their lives in conflict; past & present! This year marks 75 years since battles in 1944. We offer our thoughts and prayers for all those left behind. 🙏 Tomorrow, at 11am, we will be holding our own Remembrance Service in school, where we will display all the children’s art work, to celebrate this momentous occasion! 🙏💕🙏 

 

Let us pray for all those who have died through war or acts of violence; may we never forget their sacrifice.

Let us also pray for peace-makers and peace-keepers, who seek to keep this world secure and free. 🙏💕🙏

A huge thank-you to our wonderful Y5 children who gave up their playtimes & after school to sell poppies for the Royal British Legion. You are true disciples and we are very proud of your selflessness! ☺️

Mini Vinnies have been shopping today and bought all their stock, ready for when they open their shop next Friday! How exciting! 🙏😊🙏

 

All of the profits, will go to supporting the homeless people in our local community of Halesowen. Please support them; they have done wonderful items on sale- you will find them in the playground every Friday, starting next week! 💕💕
