A wonderful Harvest Festival today at St Catherine’s church. KS2 sang beautifully.

Today year 3 were set a challenge of using a torch and a mirror to reflect light around an object to make a post-it note behind it light up. We had a lot of fun trying out different angles to reflect the light in the right direction.

This morning Year 3 have ventured outside to continue to build on our skills in Art. We chose wax crayons to make our rubbings using several different surfaces. We then used the technique of frottage to create a flower with our rubbings but tearing and cutting shapes.

Wishing our Y6 children the best of luck with their SATS this week!

Wishing all our families a very Happy Easter!

Wishing all our Muslim families a joyful and blessed Eid. May this special time bring peace, happiness, and togetherness to your homes.
