This week we have been learning about a very special person, Saint Patrick.
We found out that he is a patron saint of Ireland. We learnt that he worked hard to become a priest and spread the good news. We found out that people attend church on this day to celebrate his life.
We saw that people often wear green and some people dress up. We learned that some people attend parades too.
We found out more about the shamrock and had a go at making our own. We spent time mixing paint to make green too!

"He lived in Ireland" - Clay
EYFS - Jesus Feeding the 5 Thousand
Date: 2nd Jul 2024 @ 6:49pm
This week in Religious Education, we have looked at the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand.
We learnt how the story of Jesus feeds the 5000 is in all four gospels. We listened carefully to find out that Jesus was in a remote place. We learnt that it grew late and the crowd were hungry. Jesus blessed the food and gave it to his disciples to share.
Then we were told about the miracle that everyone was fed and that there were still baskets of food left over.
"He shared the bread" - Ezra
"Jesus made sure everyone had some food. They were so hungry" - Ella
"It was a miracle" - Kit

Y3 & Y4 - Christmas Production - The Donkey Seller
Date: 10th Jun 2024 @ 10:11am
Together, Year 3 & 4 put on our Christmas Production for parents.
It was called 'The Donkey Seller' and told the story of the Nativity through the eyes of a loyal seller and his herd of donkeys.
1 by 1 the donkeys are sold to special travellers who pass by. Mary needs a donkey to carry her to Bethlehem, the Shepherds need a donkey to carry Little Shep who is tired, and the kings need a donkey because one of their camels has hurt his foot.
Eventually the donkey seller herself travels to see the amazing arrival in Bethlehem.
We had great fun learning and performing, some of us even played the hand chimes and recorders as part of the songs
"I loved being Little Shep, it made me really proud acting in front of everyone" - Henry
"I was part of the sheep chorus and we got to do some fun joke lines in sheep voices" - Maro
"I played one of the main donkeys called Snuggle. I had lots of lines to learn and was a bit nervous, but it was fun performing it for parents" - Connie
