The EYFS children loved making their Christingles this week in preparation for the church service.
Yesterday, we walked down to the church for a beautiful Christingle service. We talked about the meaning of each part of the Christingle and sang some songs together. Once all the candles were lit (glow sticks for our younger children), we turned out the lights and said a special prayer.
The choir even performed for us.
Year 1 had a great time making their Christingles ready for church!
We would like to wish everyone celebrating the festival of light a joyous Diwali celebration!
As you know, EYFS love a celebration so we created our own CD Diva Lamps, decorated henna hands and watched how Diwali is celebrated. If you want to learn more you can watch the clip below.

Last week Year 5 had a brilliant time visiting the Hindu Temple in Newcastle.
Today, we walked down to Whitburn Church to celebrate our Harvest Festival. There was some fantastic singing from all our Choir and the rest of the school.
Thank you for all the kind donations which will be taken to Hospitality and Hope.
