This week, Year 3 and 4 walked to Clifton Village, to investigate the settlement’s features and learn about its History. We were led by our wonderful tour guide, Mr Byrant. He shared his knowledge of the geography and history of the area, taking us on a journey on significant roads and paths and past historical buildings that taught us much about the population of the village throughout time. Some stand out moments were the stables, the old school (which is now the village hall) and the old post office. We also walked by the oldest building in the village, built in the 14th century! The children learnt so much, while applying their knowledge of their topic.
Year 3 performed their Nativity celebration ‘Lights, Camel, Action.. It’s Strictly the Nativity’ and what a FAB-U-LOUS Nativity it was! They were all-singing, all-dancing and remembered not only all their lines, but where they needed to be and what they had to do! We were all so proud of each and every one of them.
Year 3 recently learned about one of the seven Sacraments, Baptism. They used playdough and Teach Me, Tell Me cards to help them remember important facts. They all became experts quite quickly!
Year 1 took to their stage in their version of A Midwife Crisis on Monday. They have all worked so hard and put in so much time and effort in to learning their lines, songs and dances and it really showed. Everyone who was a part of the show and the audience had a wonderful time. The Nativity also helped us to remember the true meaning of Christmas and how we all need Jesus in our lives. Year 1 you are all superstars!
Year 2 retold the story of the very first Christmas today through their performance of A King is Born. They sang, danced, acted and shared their story with so much confidence and enthusiasm.
We are all so proud of the Year 2 children. They really are a class full of superstars! Thank you so much to all of the parents, carers, family members and friends who came to support us.
We wish you all a very Happy Christmas!
Year 6 had an incredible time at The Briars! This year, they enjoyed being Agents of Love, where they had to show constant love, get closer to God and to do what is right and just. Through liturgies, reflections, Mass and team work, all of Year 6 graduated! Our time at the Briars consisted of lots of fun, including; a cold walk through Crich, a (very loud) disco, fun games and tuck shop. Speaking of food, Year 6 couldn’t get enough of the delicious food served at the Briars! They helped serve others, met new friends from another school, and they particularly enjoyed learning some new prayers. Take a look at all of the fun we had…

During their Art lessons this term, Year 3 have been creating Anglo-Saxon Art inspired by the artist Gustav Klimt. They used a range of natural resources found around the school grounds. Working well together in teams, they demonstrated how creative they are. What wonderful work!
They have also been using their artistic skills in their Design and Technology lessons. They attempted to make a paper lamp with a woodland theme design, to link with our Whole Class Read ‘Hansel and Gretal’. They are going to use these skills and knowledge about Electricity to design and make a children’s night-light.
Here are our finished results ….
The wonderful children in Year 4 showcased their learning and talents in their first assembly of the year. The children showed how they can come together as a class to create something brilliant. Their dedication to learning songs, actions and lines was superb. A wonderful turnout from parents put a smile on everyone’s faces and the children in particular felt so happy to have such amazing support! Well done, Year 4!
