Harvest Festival – Thank you
Thank you to everyone who came and supported the children in the harvest festival this morning and for all the produce that you kindly donated.
The children shared how appreciative they were of the beautiful world we live in and all the different food there is to eat.
Through the story of the King’s Seeds they shared how important it is to sow seeds of honesty, integrity, kindness, goodness, courage for example, as opposed to sowing seeds of lying, cheating, arrogance etc. that may end up reaping trouble.
Afterwards, the Year 5 children enjoyed taking plants to some elderly people within the community. They also delivered the harvest produce to the Grantham Foodbank where they learnt more about how the Grantham Foodbank operates.

Class 3 – St. Wulfram’s Church Visit
18th September 2023
This morning, we visited St Wulfram’s church as part of our learning about different places of worship.
We were fascinated by what we found inside and enjoyed learning more about the church. After looking at the font near the entrance, soaking up the atmosphere in the nave, and looking at the different things in the main church we went down the steep steps into the crypt where we saw stones worn down by so many people kneeling to pray over the years. After our initial exploration and discovering lots of new facts, we searched for mice to complete the Mouse Trail which was lots of fun. Finally, after delicious refreshments in the church, we stopped off in Wyndham Park for playtime before returning to school.
We would like to say a big thank you to the church stewards who made us so welcome and answered our questions. You made our visit very special.
From Class 3

As part of our Science topic – Animals and their habitats, we talked about different habitats including the ones in our local area. We went on a nature walk to spot different habitats within our school grounds. We spotted a few birds, a squirrel and lots of insects.
Back in class, we worked together to create our own habitats for an insect.
