Curriculum Enrichment

Christingle:

The children had wonderful time working with member of the church to make Christingles for the Christingle service. The children were very knowledgeable about the different parts of the Christingle and were keen to share this. The orange represents the world. The red ribbon (or tape) symbolises the love and blood of Christ. The sweets and dried fruit represent all of God's creations. The lit candle represents Jesus's light in the world, bringing hope to people living in darkness. The children then had the opportunity to take part in the Christingle service at St Giles Church, where they shared some beautiful prayers they had written.

Shape sorting in Maths

The children have been learning all about the properties of 2D and 3D shapes in our maths lessons. The children were given the task of sorting 2D shapes into a Venn Diagram using two different criteria. The children were fantastic at sharing the reasoning behind their sorting and could justify why certain shapes didn't meet any of their criteria.
