This week, the children enjoyed another Open the Book session. The story this time was David and Goliath. The children commented on how they had learned that anything is possible and the power of trusting in God.

Today, our “Stop Palm Oil Club” (SPOC) did a fantastic job visiting each class to teach them about the environmental impact of palm oil, whilst having lots of fun along the way! Nature hunts, maze and colouring competitions and some wonderful PowerPoints.

We were delighted to welcome Reverend Helen to our collective worship today. She talked to us all about the meaning of Advent as a time of preparing and waiting. Reverend Helen brought a posada with her from the Oulton Broad Team Ministry.

Our choir performed at Pakefield Primary School yesterday, singing their Black History Month song beautifully (Three Little Birds by Bob Marley).
Despite some nerves, it was lovely to see them flourishing and enjoying the occasion!
Well done to all the children who performed.

This morning, children led our collective worship and taught our school community about the meaning of Armistice Day and the significance of the poppy.
The children then led us in prayer, reading prayers they had written themselves.

Today, Reverend Andy joined us and led our collective worship about Remembrance. Children spent time back in their classrooms reflecting on what they had heard and also thinking about his question: How can you serve your community, now and in the future?

This week in our collective worship, we have been thinking about the "wow", "ow" and "now" moments in life. The children have been reflecting on these in their class reflection journals.

Lots of our children have chosen to write some beautiful prayers this week all about being thankful.
Here is an example from Year 1.

This week, our collective worship theme is being thankful. Today, we listened to "For the Beauty of the Earth" - a song that celebrates God's creation.
Staff and children are thinking this week about how to be grateful.

A huge thank you to Year 5 for making a generous donation to the Christmas Stocking Appeal in Great Yarmouth instead of receiving a gift from their teachers...they also donated in time to get their £30 doubled by the stretch funding to a massive £60!
