Mrs Jane Gay from the Baptist Church visited us to lead our collective worship. She read us a Bible story and we discussed how sometimes it is difficult to do the right thing. We discuss how following our school values we always try to do the right thing.

House Captains Collective Worship
This Monday, the house captains took our collective worship. They taught us about the school value respect and involved the school in the presentation. We sang ‘From the Tiny Ant’ and thought about respecting all animals.
Collective Worship – Circles
In our circle assembly, we discussed ways we could save energy in school.
Our ideas included:
- Opening the curtains and blinds to let light in
- Turning off lights when we leave a room
- Turning off taps
- Wearing more layers
- Only putting on the heating when we need it
Harvest Festival
We celebrated our Harvest Festival in St Margaret’s Church Fleggburgh with Reverend Steven. We thanked God for our local harvest and talked about produce at our local farm. Year 6 explained how we used their pumpkins to make soup and Emerald Class talked about how we made potato scones with the potatoes we harvested.
Diamond Class finished our service with prayers of thanks and then everyone came back to school for Harvest Tea.
Making Soup
The Year Sixes were lucky enough to pick a pumpkin but struggled to carry it. We made a big soup with them and this is how we made it. We started with taking out the middle of the pumpkin. Then we took out the seeds and put them in a bowl. After that, we cut the pumpkin into cubes. Then we put them in a bowl then put them in a cooking pot. We had to peel the delicious onions and cut them up. Fortunately, James seemed to be immune to the onions, unfortunately for everyone else they cried. Next, we added our finally chopped onions to our cubes of pumpkin in the cooker. We poured some vegetable stock into the cooker before finally putting the lids on, turning the heat up. When it was cooked, it was delicious.
Year 6
Making Scones
We worked in mixed age groups to make potato scones for the harvest festival. We carefully followed the recipe adding milk, butter, flour, baking powder and cheese. When they were baked we shared them with our families. Elsie thought they were delicious. Levi said, “They were good.”
Easter Service
There was a crowded church for our Easter service. We all celebrated the rebirth of Christ with two presentations about the Easter bonnets both classes made and through our singing of hymns.
We learned about the significance of Easter in the Christian year and took time to reflect on our year so far.
