Festive Forest School
Mon 29 Nov 2021We braved the freezing temperatures today to enjoy some time in our forest area. We built dens and swings and worked with Jen to make some festive Christmas decorations! What a fantastic opportunity to enjoy time together in the fresh air whilst developing our communication skills. Thanks once again to Jen for giving us your time and expertise, we are so lucky to have you. #TogetherWeGrow #forest #WSG

Lest We Forget: Our Service of Remembrance
Thu 11 Nov 2021This morning, we gathered together as a school family in our Spiritual Garden for our service of Remembrance. Elm Class have been thinking about children who are affected by war and have had to leave their homes. They shared some really beautiful poems imagining life as a refugee. Oak Class had written really thought-provoking Haiku poems about war and destruction turning to love and hope, symbolised by the poppies we were wearing today. Commander Keith Barton shared the reading from John 15 v 9-17 reminding us to 'remain' in God's love and 'love one another'. We placed poppies we had made next to our silhouette of a soldier and then listened to the Last Post, before holding our two minutes silence. We ended our time together by exploring the idea that 're-member' literally means 'to put back together again'. We asked God to help us put back together Peace, Hope, Love and Joy for everyone in the world and shared the International Prayer of Peace. The children were so respectful and thoughtful throughout the service; it was a really special morning.

BBC Radio Solent Schools Climate Change Q&A with Chris Packham - we had our say!
Wed 03 Nov 2021As part of BBC Radio Solent's coverage of COP26, the UN Climate Change Conference, we were delighted to be among 30 schools across Dorset, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight to take part in a huge zoom call hosted by BBC Radio Solent this morning.
The live Schools Climate Change Q&A gave schools the opportunity to submit climate related questions to Chris Packham for him to try and answer. There were lots of thought provoking questions and answers and the children all listened brilliantly. Charlotte in Year 2 was able to pose her brilliant question to Chris live on air- 'How do we get all the litter out of the sea?' Well done Charlotte and all the children; together we can change the world.
