Unfortunately, the Year 6 Banner service couldn’t be held at the cathedral this year, however resources were sent so we could hold our own service in school. Rev. Kirsty led the service for us and the children shared songs and prayers they had written themselves.

We began by making some Viking oatcakes, which we enjoyed later on in the day while watching our Viking Tale show. We also made some Viking jewellery, writing our names using the Viking alphabet. Most of us got really messy using clay to sculpt Thor’s hammer! Mrs Grindrod and Mrs King even dressed up as Viking Read more
Following the recent media coverage about racist comments made towards members of the England football team, Year 5 pulled away from our usual timetable to discuss our thoughts, feelings and opinions on racism and to learn more about what we can do as individuals to help make a change.

We read a book called ‘The Skin i’m in’, this lead in to further discussions about equality and diversity in Read more

In class the children wanted to show their support to these players and help Read more
