This week in school has been, as expected, all about Easter.
On Tuesday, the Year 2 worship leaders led us in a superb Easter service at All Saints Church. I was proud of how confidently they spoke and remembered what to do and when. They didn't really need me there at all!
Our celebration of Indonesian culture was amazing. The Year 1 children performed their puppet show with enthusiasm and skill! They have thoroughly enjoyed their time with Aris Daryono and definitely benefitted from his input on their topic about Java. My thanks go to the Year 1 team who put the show together and to the parents who helped with cooking and setting up the hall. The learning for the children from this topic has been huge and was not limited to creating shadow puppets, playing Gamelan instruments and writing their own version of a traditional Indonesian tale. We have included Mrs Sam's Nasi Goreng recipe below, as we had a few requests for it!
As always, our staff team have been amazing this term. They have not only made sure that the children are able to have inspiring and challenging learning opportunities, but they have been true to the school vision, making sure that all children are included and have been incredible in the support they have been given.
As we take a break from school for a couple of weeks, I hope that all our school families enjoy the time away from the school routine and are able to have a good rest. I would like to wish you all a very happy Easter.
Mrs S Reynolds
