We ended Refugee Week with a visit to our whole school art exhibition. It was so visually stunning with beautiful background music too!
We have been working so hard during Refugee Week this week. We have written prayers, focusing on how we can be disciples. We have looked at the journey across Europe of the puppet Amal in EBL. We have thought about what we might pack if we had to leave home suddenly. We listened to refugee children’s stories and came up with ways that we would welcome them. And of course we have worked on our beautiful art for the art exhibition tomorrow!
What a fabulous day we had at Little Owls Farm Park today! We loved learning about the animals and petting and feeding them! The children were so well behaved- a real credit to their families and our school.
DT week- we have been busy learning all about different types of puppets, making our own stick puppets and finger puppets, creating puppet shows and designing and making our farm sock puppets.
We took part in ‘The Big Break’ today for the NSPCC charity. We had great fun riding on bikes and scooters, as well as playing football!
