Chilcote school annual Christmas service at St Peter`s church

On Friday 20th December, we held our annual Christmas Service at St Peters Church.
The whole school travelled to St Peters by double decker bus or minibus as the weather forecast was for heavy rain . Everyone behaved beautifully, had excellent audience manners and the singing sounded fantastic. It was a very special morning.
Year 6 and staff acted out a retelling of the Christmas story and described how Christmas and Christianity is similar to other faiths and religions.Year 6 all received a Christingle which they held alight at the front of the church. The school staff band played a selection of Christmas carols and we were very pleased to welcome back Mrs Bramley, who is an important member of the band.
  Well done everyone. All the staff are very proud of you.

Photos and videos were taken but due to technical issues, we cannot publish them just yet.
They will follow in the New Year.

With all best wishes to you all for a happy and restful holiday.

Chinese New Year in Reception

On Monday 30th January, we celebrated Chinese New Year in Reception.
We learned how families prepare for and celebrate Chinese New Year and why each year is named after an animal. This year is the year of the rooster.
We all learned actions and moves for a dragon dance and took turns to parade in a Chinese dragon
(provided by Mrs Merchant Smith - thank you) and learned a song with actions.
We also enjoyed tasting some chinese food and writing chinese characters to represent numbers and words.
Lilian in Year 1 lent us some lovely artefacts to look at and discuss too, so we have learned a lot of information about Chinese New Year and we all had a great day!

Year 1's Easter Assembly

On Tuesday morning Year 1 performed their Easter Assembly for their parents.   They were fantastic!   There was lots of great acting, wonderful dancing and most of all brilliant singing.   Well done to everyone in 1 Elm and 1 Fir, we are very proud of you.   Thank you to the parents for coming to watch.

The cast.

Year 4 Topic: Visit from Islamic Relief

To finish off our Active Planet topic, where we have been investigating earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes, we had a visit from Yasmeen Ismail of Islamic Relief.

She described the great work Islamic Relief does in supporting victims of disasters in more than 40 countries across the world. Did you know they will respond to any major disaster within 72 hours as part of their teamwork with the Disasters Emergency Committee?

We considered the effects of devastating events such as earthquakes and floods and what the victims’ needs would be. Our experience of running our own Disaster Relief Centre certainly helped us to imagine what life in a disaster zone would be like.

It was a thought-provoking end to a fascinating topic.
