๐ฃ Itโs okay to question things! We're helping children look at ideas with a curious mind.
Instead of just accepting what they hear, theyโre learning to check sources, look for evidence, and decide for themselves if something is trustworthy. Itโs all about building critical thinking skills! ๐
๐ค This week in Collective Worship, we reflected on our Christian value for this half term: ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ.
โญ We spent time thinking about what it means to be a good friend. The children shared some wonderful ideas, including being kind, respectful, caring, helpful, honest and someone who listens to others. They recognised that friendship is not just about having good friends, but also about being a good friend ourselves.
Together, we explored the thought: "๐ง๐ผ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ด๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐, ๐๐ผ๐ ๐บ๐๐๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ฎ ๐ด๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ." We discussed how our words and actions can make others feel valued, included and supported.
As we finished, we challenged ourselves with two important questions:
๐ญ How will you show friendship this week?
๐ญ How will you inspire friendship in others?
We look forward to seeing our children live out this important value through small acts of kindness, encouragement and respect throughout the week.

๐ Just like scientists, children make educated guesses based on what they already know, then test their ideas to see if they make sense. This reasoning helps children see learning as exploration not just finding the 'right' answer.
It's about building and revising ideas, understanding that all theories are works in progress ๐

What a wonderful performance - the children spoke with confidence and enthusiasm as they shared an important message about wisdom through the story of Noahโs Ark. Their thoughtful reflections reminded us all about listening carefully, making good choices and trusting in Godโs guidance.
The hall was filled with smiles and joy as the children sang This Little Light of Mine so beautifully, spreading happiness and energy to everyone watching. Their singing, actions and confidence truly lit up the room!
We are incredibly proud of every child for their courage, hard work and fantastic teamwork. Thank you to our families for joining us and supporting such a special occasion. Well done, Year 1 โ you were amazing! ๐โจ๐ถ
Well done to all our Year 6s for completing your SATs! You showed determination, resilience and a fantastic attitude throughout the week, and we were very proud of you all.
To celebrate all your hard work, we had a pizza celebration on Friday โ a well-deserved treat! ๐๐
We hope you enjoyed celebrating your achievements!
