Year 3- Class Worship- Exploring 'The Kind Stranger
In class today, we took part in a 'God’s Big Story' collective worship session focused on the parable of The Kind Stranger (The Good Samaritan). We joined Iain the storyteller to revisit this famous parable and listened to Bishop Philip, who challenged us to look beyond the surface of the story. The children explored the different "layers" of Jesus' words, discussing what it truly means to be a neighbour and how we can show compassion to everyone, even those who are different from us. It was a thoughtful session that encouraged the class to think about how they can put kindness into action in their own lives.

Year 1 Science: Examining Wild Plants
Year 1 looked closely at four wild plants today: daisies, dandelions, bluebells and buttercups. We used magnifying lenses to look closely at these plants and draw them. They understood that wild flowers are not planted by people, but grow on their own.
