Fr Joy talking about Hindu traditions.

Amazing independent learning in Year 1!!!

Children in Year 1 are filming each other estimating and counting. They are learning without the support of an adult and are doing a really good job teaching each other.

Ethiopia Assembly

In a special assembly this morning, Sue and Jamie from the charity for-ethiopia presented a video of children in Addis Alem in Ethiopia watching our choir sing the Water Song last year.

Our school responded in song (which was videoed) and were also presented with stone crosses for children in the school choir. It's great having friends in such an amazing place as Ethiopia!

Looking at wars since World War 2

Yesterday for Peace day Y5/6C focused on wars since World War 2. We began by looking at the location of wars since WW2. We realised straight away that there were so many wars it would take too long to locate them all.

'I found out that the location of wars since WW2 were mainly in Africa and Asia. This is probably because these tend to be poor countries and/or run by dictators.' By Dean

We focused on the Falklands War and thought about how we could prevent wars in the future.

'To stop wars they should communicate and talk out their differences' By Evie

Below is a fantastic drawing by Ben of a British soldier in the Falklands War
