Doodle and Dance Club
What a wonderful way to wrap up our sessions! Today marked our very last Doodle and Dance Club, and the children certainly made it a memorable one. We kicked things off by following step-by-step instructions to draw our very own Easter bunnies, and Mrs Wilkinson was so impressed by the focus and determination in the room. Everyone worked incredibly hard, resulting in some fabulous drawings that showcased their unique creative flairs. We finished the club on a high note with lots of high-energy dancing to our favourite tracks, leaving us all with big smiles.

Year 2 celebrated World Down Syndrome Day by rocking our socks.

Year 2 have been using our map reading skills to find times tables questions hidden in the school grounds. We then solved the times tables questions when we got back to the classroom.

Our Whole School Worship-Palm Sunday and Serving Others
Our whole school worship began with signing the Trinity, bringing the whole school together in reflection. To explore the theme of our new Kindness Kite, Jack (Y5), Eliza (Y5), and Olivia (Y4) shared the Fairness Kite, which explained the biblical perspective on justice and treating others equitably. Mrs Ham asked the children to take a moment to reflect on everything we have done as a school to serve others who don't have as much as us. We looked back on our collective efforts to help those in need: Donating clothes, coats for the homeless, and teddies, which were organised by Year 5 Rotakids. Collecting food for Harvest and supporting the Darwen Enterprise Easter Egg appeal. Filling shoe boxes and raising money through sponsored walks. Worship continued with Mrs Ham reading a rhyming Palm Sunday Bible story about Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey, which the children and staff acted out brilliantly. Jesus and his friends were played by Charlie G, Peyton, and Mr Bloomfield. Zac (Year 1) played the donkey that carried Jesus into the city. Iris, Ava, and many other children acted as the crowd, waving palm leaves to welcome the King. Mrs Araujo and Mr Mealor played the Pharisees, representing the religious leaders who disagreed with Jesus and watched the parade with concern. To end our worship, we sang, 'We Have a King Who Rides a Donkey.' We left worship thinking about the example Jesus set and how we can continue to give in service to those around us.
