Jubilee Year launch - Pilgrims of Hope - January 24th 2025
Date: 26th Jan 2025 @ 11:42am
Our school community came together for an amazing launch for the very special Jubilee Year.
A Jubilee is celebrated within the Catholic church every 25 years. This year the theme will be 'Pilgrims of Hope'.
We are called together to experience joy and strength as we embarkon a journey to be 'agents of change,' working together for justice, love and peace, locally and globally.
After learning about the importance and theme of the Jubilee, the children across school have Celebrated the Word and written their own pledges.
We gathered together to reflect and share pledges before displaying them all around the hall.
We are excited for more events to come during the Jubilee Year and are filled with hope for the difference we can make in fulfilling our pledges!
Y3 - RE - The Miracle of the Centurion's servant artwork
Date: 21st Jan 2025 @ 7:38am
Today in Year 3 we interpreted different artwork based on the Centurion's servant. We spoke about how artists might show the same piece of scripture in different ways, we noticed what were the key parts of the scripture that we could notice and then we researched some other artistic versions of the story in pairs to share with the class.
"In my artwork Jesus is in colours that are lots paler than the centurion, I think that this shows he is kind" - Alice
"The centurion is begging on his knees, he is asking Jesus for help" - Patrick
"I found a version of the scripture that was a stained glass window, it showed Jesus and the centurion was kneeling down" - Zoe

Year 6 have been learning about observational drawing. We have been drawing fruit, focussing on the details and shadows.
We learnt how to start with the rough shape of the fruit and then add the detail.
We also learnt how important it is to look and then draw and keep doing this throughout the process.

Our theme was all about reconciliation, with God, each other and ourselves.

As part of our textiles topic we focused on an underwater theme and the work of two artists.
First we made some still life sketches, focused on curves and movement in material.
Then we explored the work of Hannah Rae a textile artist.
We made some sketches from different marine creatures and added to them using different medium; chalk, pastels and crayon.
Then we chose our final sketch and enlarged this to A3 size.
Finally we have cut and added fabric to our sketch to create pattern, before adding stitching for detail.
