Year 2 - RE - Rev. Ben Eucharist visit
Year 2 were visited by Rev. Ben this week. He explained about the Eucharist and why it is so important in Christianity.
Year 3- R.E- Exploring Sadness and Joy with Rev Ben
This afternoon, we welcomed Rev Ben to our class to investigate the emotional journey of Holy Week through a deep discussion. We used our oracy skills to recap the Easter story and explore how church services transform from sadness to joy. Rev Ben explained that on Good Friday, the service is solemn and quiet to reflect the sadness of the cross. However, we also talked about how everything changes on Easter Sunday, when the church bursts into a joyful celebration with loud bells and happy songs to show that Jesus is alive. By talking and listening to Rev Ben, we learned that churches use different moods, sounds, and symbols to help people feel the big emotions of the Easter story.
Mad Science After School Club- Exploring the Chemistry of Curiosity: pH Levels
We had a fantastic start to our Science club today, delivered by the Mad Scientist, Jo. Our future scientists focused on the power of pH levels, learning how to identify acids and bases using professional liquid indicators and pH paper. The children put on their safety glasses and learned the vital importance of protecting themselves while conducting experiments. From observing the chemical reactions used to clean oxidised coins to testing the acidity of common household liquids. It was inspiring to see the children’s curiosity come to life as they realised that science isn’t just found in a textbook, it is happening in their kitchen cupboards and the world around them.
Year 5 - Whitehall Park
To celebrate the end of term, after church we visited the rose garden at Whitehall Park to see the beautiful Easter crosses made by the children of St Barnabas. The crosses will be up for the Easter weekend for anyone who wants to inspect the work of our resident artists. As the weather was so nice, we stopped off at the playground and spent our break time on the swings and slides.

Spring Chicken
We ended the term on a high with an energetic sing-along to our favourite Easter songs before a very special visit from "The Spring Chicken" (otherwise known as Mr Mealor!).
Year 6 - Easter Artwork
Today, our Year 6 class took a trip to the Rose Garden at Whitehall Park to admire the amazing artwork on display. It was fantastic to see contributions not only from Year 6, but from pupils across the whole school. The artwork, inspired by different crosses, showcased a wide range of creative ideas, patterns and meanings, making it a truly special and thoughtful exhibition. The setting of the gardens made the experience even more enjoyable and the children were incredibly proud to spot their own pieces and share the inspiration behind their work with friends. A big well done to all our pupils for their dedication and creativity.

Year 2 visit the Rose Garden
Our Year 2 class enjoyed visiting the Rose Garden to admire the A Cross the World art work produced by each class. The artwork will be up over the Easter holidays for families to enjoy.
Year 2 - Easter Chocolate Bingo
In Year 2, we were very lucky to be visited by Vienna's mum who played a game of Stand Up Bingo with the class with prizes donated from Tesco.
Year 4 - Visit to the Rose Garden
At the start of Holy Week, the Year 4 class walked to the Rose Garden to create our Easter art gallery and then explore each class’s work. This year, each class took part in the A-Cross the World project. They chose a cross from a different part of the world and used it for inspiration to decorate their own crosses. After spending some time exploring the crosses in pairs, the Year 4 children took part in a quiz to locate specific crosses based on information from the background story or the technique used to create them. They had a great time exploring and choosing their favourite crosses.
Year 5 - Chocolate Bingo
Jade from Tesco's community champions visited Year 5 today to play a game of stand up bingo. Every child received a ticket and sat down with a bag of sweets when their number was called. The last person standing was Layla, who won an Easter egg. Thank you so much to the Tesco for coming today.
Year 6 - Stand Up Bingo
Today we had a special visit from Tesco, who led a fun game of “Stand Up Bingo”. Each child started standing with a raffle ticket and as their numbers were called, they sat down, until only one person remained standing. It was great fun for everyone involved and a big well done to Seb Taylor for being our class winner!
Year 1: Toy Museum
Year 1 loved showing their adults all of their learning in our toy museum. They played with old and modern toys together and taught their parents lots of new facts.
