Y6 children wishing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, together with their parents or sponsors, are expected to be attending the Baptism and Belonging session on Saturday 6th April as an essential part of their preparations for receiving the Sacrament.Please note that this session commences at 4pm (not 5pm as it states on the newsletter) at Hearsall Baptist Church not at All Souls’. This session will last for approximately 1 1/4 hours followed by cakes and drinks in the parish room which we kindly encourage you all to stay for.
We look forward to seeing you all there!
Mrs Hartwell
A huge well done to Jude, James, Harry & Lorcan for their fabulous efforts in researching, rehearsing and performing for the annual debating competition which took place today.
They proposed that ‘Climate change is man-made’, backing their arguments up with lots of facts and statistics whilst urging the audience to take responsibility and action.
Even though the boys did a tremendous job getting their arguments across and challenging the opposing team, the overall winners of the day were Aldermoor Farm – congratulations!
They really enjoyed the afternoon and would like to thank the organisers for their efforts and also Mrs Elkins for giving up her spare time to support them in their preparation.
THANK YOU!
Thank you to all of the children who made fabulous amounts of effort to come into school dressed as mad or famous scientists today and helped us celebrate our love for SCIENCE!
During the last two weeks, we have all been busy being Scientists, researching the answers to questions we wanted to find out, creating posters to celebrate this year’s theme of ‘Journeys’ and also taking part in a whole school quiz!
In a special assembly this afternoon, we got to share what we had been up to with the whole school and award prizes for the quiz winners and poster winners!
Well done to everybody who took part! We really appreciate your efforts and are very thankful for your kind donations too – we raised over £150!

Year 6 visited Church today to pray the Stations of the Cross. We visited each of the 14 stations that commemorate Jesus’ last day on Earth. During the mini pilgrimage, we moved from station to station, recalling and meditating on specific events from the day of His condemnation.

Year 6 gathered with their prayer friends and the rest of the school to share a whole school Lenten prayer service. They created their footprint promises to show how they are going to try and follow in Jesus’ footsteps before helping Reception do the same.
This week is British Science Week.
British Science Week is a ten-day celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths. The theme this year is JOURNEYS.
To celebrate, we have lots of exciting things coming up over the next two weeks, such as creating our own class question and going on a journey to find out the answer to it, creating posters to enter the annual BSA competition, taking part in a whole school quiz and of course a little bit of fancy dress to end it all on Friday 22nd March!
Please keep checking the blog to find out what we get up to!

This week we began our new English unit based on this fabulous picture book, Tuesday by David Wiesner. The whole class loved unravelling this humerous story as each picture was revealed. They were then tasked with writing an exciting blurb to persuade readers to delve in to the adevnture too! Here is an example of what they produced:
“In an average town (and on a hardly average Tuesday evening!), a curious event occurs, sending a wave of uncertainty over the otherwise quiet night. Peculiar pests roam the streets, searching for mischief and mayhem. Hovering creatures terrorise the innocent town as more and more people drift off to sleep for the night. Will the morning reveal the creatures’ identities? Or, will the unique mystery of this Tuesday night forever remain a secret? Find out in this silent but gripping story by the incredible David Wiesner.” By Harry Wicks.
