Class 1 and 2 Nature Walk
Class 1 and Class 2 enjoyed a lovely Nature Walk along the riverbank this week. They used their senses to identify the signs of Autumn around them and they saw lots of beautiful things, including an otter!
Back in the classroom, they examined the leaves they had collected before using them in printing and collage work. Several members of the public commented on their excellent behaviour and smart uniforms during the walk – well done Class 1 and Class 2!
Harvest Festival
This morning, the children in Dudley House School enjoyed celebrating and thanking God for the harvest. As well as sharing facts about bread, they also retold the story of the Little Red Hen through drama and songs. The story emphasised this terms worship theme of service, by lending a hand and sharing with others.
Afterwards, the Year 6 children enjoyed visiting elderly people within the community and giving them a cyclamen plant to cheer their day. Some of the children were nervous at first but were soon keen to present the gift and chat to the recipients. As one grateful lady shared as the children were leaving – ‘Their visit was just what I needed today – it has made my day.’
What little act of kindness could you do for someone today?
