Easter journey at Main Street Community Church

Year 5 visited Main Street Community Church to take part in the Easter Journey. This is a very special event that retells the story of Easter using multi-media and role play to explain each stage. Starting in Jerusalem, the children took on the role of the people who were excited to see Jesus as he rode in on his donkey as they waved palm trees and shouted, 'Hosanna!'. Later on in the journey, they took their seats at the table to take part in the last supper and listened to the words of the Lord as he broke bread and explained all about the body and blood of Christ. After hiding from the roman soldiers and listening to the thoughts of Mary after the death of her son, the children were led into a special garden filled with flowers and a stone rolled back to represent the tomb. Jesus had risen! It was a reflective morning which helped the children to understand the true meaning of Easter.

Visit from Digital Wizards for Year 3,4,5 and 6 on Online Safety

Digital Footsteps, this was a really good idea because it made me understand that when we post lots of things online, people can trace it back.  You shouldn’t post personal information. (Sophia Year 5)

Digital Wizards presented this information in a fun and exciting way, which is really important as these are life lessons. (Stanley Year 6)

We really enjoyed the games we played. We did Breaking News, it showed us that we can’t always believe everything we read. (Jacob Year 3)

He shared lots of fun apps. (Iris Year 4)

Sometimes people send you links and if you don’t know who it is, it is best that you don’t click on it. (Sophia Year 5)

Overall, they said, we thought these sessions were brilliant, definitely 10/10 and if possible, we would give it 11/ 10.

Class 6's Ancient Greek Day

To enhance their history topic based on Ancient Greece, Class 6 enjoyed their very own Ancient Greek Day. Dressed in their amazing costumes, the class participated in a Greek dancing workshop, created their very own crowns from paper vines and sampled some Greek food.

World Book Day

To celebrate World Book Day this year, the children were asked to dress up as a word. There was a fantastic range of vocabulary throughout the school and lots of creative costumes. During the day, we enjoyed listening to the story of The Word Collector as well as reading and sharing our favourite books with our friends.

Chicks in EYFS

We had a very EGG-citing delivery in our EYFS classroom! Seven eggs were delivered in a special container that kept them warm. The next day, there were chicks! After they had hatched, the children helped to move them into their brooder box and thoroughly enjoyed watching them grow. Each day, we talked about what they needed to keep growing and took excellent care of them whilst they were staying with us.

Children's Mental Health Week

Throughout Children's Mental Health Week, all classes took some time to focus on well-being and reflect on what we can do to help us feel calm and relaxed. During Buddy Time, EYFS/ Year 1 enjoyed a walk with their buddies and talked about their week together.

Class 5 and 6 New Age Kurling

Year 5 and 6 enjoyed a session to learn a new sport from New Age Kurling. Although it was tricky at first, the children persevered and worked as a team to master the techniques taught and they thoroughly enjoyed the lesson.

National Storytelling Week

To celebrate National Storytelling Week, the whole school enjoyed a week of sharing different stories together. As an extra celebration, the children were invited to wear their PJs for the day. We also had a hot chocolate during our story time as a special treat - yum!

EYFS celebrate Chinese New Year

Our EYFS class thoroughly enjoyed learning all about Chinese New Year. The role play area transformed into a very successful Chinese restaurant with helpful staff and very happy customers. The children also enjoyed different challenges within the provision including a funky finger activity with pom poms and chopsticks. The highlight of the week was the Chinese banquet. The children enjoyed trying different foods and some of us even had a try at using chopsticks.
