Walking with Jesus Through Holy Week – Year 5 and 6
This week, our Year 5 and 6 children have been busy taking part in lots of special Holy Week activities to help them prepare for Easter ✝️
They learned about The Last Supper 🍞, played fun Easter games, and took part in a lovely hand-washing liturgy 👐 to remind them of Jesus’ service and love. They also walked to Birkenhead Park, carrying a cross just like Jesus did ➕, and designed their own beautiful candles to get ready for Holy Saturday
There’s been lots of time to think, pray and reflect on the true meaning of Easter – a time of hope, love and new life ✨

Year 6 - World Comic Book Day, by Mrs Harris
Date: 27th Sep 2024 @ 7:58pm
This week was World Comic Book Day. Whilst the rest of the year group was away on residential, we learnt about how comic books have changed over the years and researched famous comic book writers such as Stan Lee. We created our own comic book character, sketched what they would look like and coloured them using bold colours - inspired by Pop Art artists of that time. Once we had designed our character we then used clay to make models of them. We can't wait to paint them when they finally dry!
