• Christians Around the World

  Sun 20 Jan 2019

  A school RE Day was led by an organisation called Barnabus, which ran a captivating assembly about ‘Christians around the World’. Throughout the day, each class had a session with Jane who had visited churches all around the world. Our favourite part was looking at different types of crosses from around the world.

   

  On a similar note, six of our new Year 5 Worship Leaders ventured to All Saints Church in Bucklebury on Thursday for a day of workshops and training. They had a fantastic day working with children from other local schools and experienced workshops through the day. They created super worship tables, converted a psalm into a song to perform, wrote prayers and used drama to act out the story of the ‘Lost Sheep’. They will now introduce some of their ideas into our Collective Worship at school.

• A Roarsome Dinosaur Day!

  Sun 06 Jan 2019

  Hummingbirds enjoyed a 'roarsome' dinosaur day just before the Christmas holidays as part of their Wild Earth topic. The ambitious aims of the day were to create a museum of Dinosaur facts and objects of interest, and for the children to become tour guides for their museum. The children learned what a museum was and what the different areas would be in Yattendon Dinosaur Museum. The children then completed four activities with an adult, which included comparing the shell of an ankylosaurus with Mrs Keene’s tortoise Tallulah. They also fitted in drawing an outline of a full sized Stegosaurus!
