Year 2 enjoyed learning about axles and wheels as part of our DT topic. They were challenged to create a moving vehicle using K’Nex. This task sounded much easier than it was and required lots of problem solving, team work, peer teaching and perseverance.
The children found making axles and wheels challenging as they had to make sure that the wheels were secure and did not move. Their next challenge was to make and attach a chassis.
The children had such a wonderful time creating and they couldn’t wait to test them on the ramps at the end of the lesson. Well done everyone!
Year 3 began our Summer Term with a whole school Resurrection Liturgy this week. We gathered together to reflect on the events following the Crucifixion. The children led us in prayer and joyful song, re-enacting the Gospel of St. John when Mary Magdalene and the disciples discovered the empty tomb of Jesus. Mary spoke to angels, and then with Jesus who told her to let others know. Year 3 helped spread the Good News with reverence and true joy!
On the last day of term, Year Six performed a powerful and emotive presentation of ‘The Crucifixion’.
Retelling the most important story in the world, they used song, prayer and dance to lead us through the final stages of Jesus’s life.
Year Six, we are so proud of your hard-work. Your performance will be one to remember for a long time to come…

Year 2 enjoyed an exciting start to the Summer Term today. We had a visit from Martin, Mark, Wayne and Tom who are firefighters at West Bridgford Fire Station.
Mark and Martin started our visit with a presentation in class. They told us all about their job, how they stay safe at work and what we should do if our house was on fire. Some children even demonstrated how to wear the uniform!
We then had the opportunity to look at the fire engine up close with Tom and Wayne. They showed us all of their car rescue equipment, hoses, oxygen tanks and we got to sit in the fire engine. There were lots of interesting questions for the firefighters and some huge smiles from the children.
Thank you so much to our visitors, you really brightened up our Monday morning!
Mark and Martin’s challenge:
Check that you have 2 fully working smoke detectors installed upstairs and down.
Make a family escape plan with your family to ensure that everyone knows how to get out of your house if there was a fire at night.
Year 2 have successfully completed a very busy Spring Term. They have enjoyed a visit to Twycross Zoo, watched the BRW ducklings hatch and grow, raised over £100 for CAFOD and completed a whole range of learning linked to our topic.
Take a look at our highlights.
Year 5 prepared a wonderful liturgy to remember the last supper. They were natural performers and marked the occasion beautifully. They should be very proud!
On Monday, Year 4 started our whole school Holy Week journey with their ‘Entry Into Jerusalem’ performance. They told the story of Palm Sunday so wonderfully and we have all been so impressed with their dedication and team effort to make it as spectacular as it was. They are a class of super singers and awesome actors! We can’t wait to journey with the rest of the school through Holy Week.
As we approach Holy Week, Year 3 begin their preparations for their Easter Liturgy. Here are three songs that we plan to song, for you to practise at home.
Simply Trusting Jesus
Risen!
Easter Jubilation
We have had a very busy day in FS . We are trying to help, care and share to grow more like Jesus during Lent. We raised money by decorating biscuits with purple icing and a heart. We enjoyed our biscuits whilst continuing our learning of the Easter Story.
