All classes celebrated the Feast of the Epiphany on 6th January. This day commemorates the visit of the three Kings to the newborn Jesus and traditionally marks the end of Christmas celebrations.
We hope that this Epiphany brings with it all happiness, love and light.
Journey through Advent – The Christmas Story
Christmas
“She wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them at the inn.” Luke 2:7
Christ Jesus,
as we celebrate your birth in a stable
we remember all those among us
who are left out, who live in poverty,
who are homeless
and who long to go home.
Make room in our hearts
for our sisters and brothers,
so that we may reach out to them in love.
Amen

We hope that you find these resources useful as we journey together towards Christmas.

It’s lovely to see the children all settled in and working hard. We’ve had some nice practical work over the last couple of weeks in science, the children worked well making their circuits and testing the conductivity of materials this week. Last week we looked at which materials were best for insulating.
Today we celebrated the European day of languages by learning some Spanish. The children all created their own mini conversations with a partner as well as learned some interesting facts about Spanish culture.
