Year 3 remake the classic film Trip to the Moon

 While looking at the book The Invention of Hugo Cabret year 3 have found out a lot about early films. The filmaker Georges Melies and his film a Trip to the Moon plays an important part in the plot. We spent some time writing our own script, making props and filming our own versions of his story. Take a look at the amazing films we did.

Here is the link to the original to see our inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLVChRVfZ74&t=550s

KINTBURY 24/03/22 - 25/03/22

 During our trip to Kintbury, the team leaders helped us focus on our gifts and talents and how they strengthen, compliment and help grow our community during this Lenten season. Here are some of our team work challenges from the two days.

      

      

      

      While away at Kintbury, we took the opportunity to reflect, worship and connect with God 

      in preparation for Easter. We listened to readings, sang hymns and prayed in St. 

      Cassian's prayer room. 

                   

       There was plenty on offer for us to do while we had free time. Some of us chose to play 

       in the games room, while others chose to explore and play in the house's vast grounds. 

       We were also very lucky to beautiful weather over the two days!

World Water Day - Making Water Clocks

Today for World Water Day, Year 6 made water clocks. We were inspired by our topic work on the Ancient Greeks. Before the invention of clocks and watches they used water clocks called a clepsydra. The class was set the task of making a water clock that could time as close to one minute as possible. 

We thought about our school charity -Clifton Diocese Schools Project and how lucky we are to have clean running water.

Prayers & sunflowers for Ukraine

For St Joseph's Day this year we focused on offering prayers and support to Ukraine.

St Joseph protected and provided for the Holy Family. We ask St Joseph to pray for protection for the people of Ukraine. We pray for peace.

The children wrote prayers for Ukraine and coloured in sunflowers (The unofficial national symbol of Ukraine). As part of a collective worship these were placed under our sleeping St Joseph statue. Later these sunflowers were used to decorate the school hall.
