Thank you to our friends at Open the Book who shared the story of “The Last Supper” with us today.
The children enjoyed listening to the story of the first Christmas told by our “Open the Book” friends. We even had a special guest as the Angel Gabriel.
Nelle created this superb information booklet to tell us all about Christingles!
EYFS loved making Christingles to mark the beginning of advent. We discussed each of its features and the meaning of them.
Nursery enjoyed learning all about Diwali, the festival of light. We made our own diya lamps from clay and painted them.

We enjoyed another open the book session this week focusing on the story of the big spender.
EYFS are always eager to learn new information about the world, especially if it involves a celebration! Last week, we talked all about the Hindu festival Holi which is also called the “Festival of Colour”.
Traditionally, people throw coloured powder at each other however we decided to use a clever piece of technology called Sphero to help us spread colour. First, we squirted different coloured paint on a large white sheet. Then we made Sphero move by controlling a blue spot on the app.
We loved our final Holi masterpiece!
Today Year 3 visited Whitburn Methodist Church as part of their RE topic. We have been looking at Christian worship in our local area. The children loved visiting the church and especially enjoyed singing.
Thank you to our Open the Book readers for sharing the story of “The Three Kings”
This morning we enjoyed hearing the story of the very first Christmas from our friends at Open the Book.
