Polar Explorers
Class 1 took a trip across the land and sea to the coldest regions on the planet, the Arctic and Antarctica.
Icon Art
This week we were very lucky to have Father Daniel come into school to speak to Classes 3 and 4 about 'Iconography'. The children spoke with Father Daniel about our own religious art and were very interested to learn about icons and how they changed over the years, particularly within different religions. The children were very intrigued to learn that paint used in iconography can be made using eggs!

As they eagerly await the arrival of Mrs Stallard's baby, the children in Class 2 have been learning about how we change over time.

On Thursday morning, with the help of Mrs Greaves our Chair of Governors, the children made their Christingles ready for our Christingle Service in the afternoon.

Christmas preparations are underway throughout school this week.
Class 1 made their Advent Wreath this week. The children collected foliage with which to decorate their wreath from the school grounds. With lots of patience and glue, they carefully assembled the wreath, which was finished off with the four candles symbolising 'Hope', 'Peace', 'Joy' and 'Love'.
Key Stage 2 visited the church to find out more about the Golden Mean and how this incredible mathematical design is present in the structure of the church.
On Friday we were joined by parents, carers and members of our local community at our service of Remembrance in St Peter's and All Saints Church.
On Wednesday our Year 6 children joined members of the village community for the Leprosy Mission Lunch.
