We Begin Our Journey in Reception!

During the first weeks in Reception, we spent time getting to know each other, what we like, what we are good at and what makes us special. We are very proud of each and every child, parents and carers who played a vital part in ensuring a smooth and successful transition into new routines. 

    

  

 

 

School Trip: As part of our Place of Worship topic, we visited St Mary Magdalene’s Church in East Ham. We were welcomed by Reverend Katherine, who told us all about the church’s fascinating history.  Did you know it’s over 900 years old?

We had a wonderful time drawing and counting the crosses, learning about Christian symbols, and even watching Reverend Katherine baptise our baby doll, Sarah! To end our visit, we were treated to a special moment; Reverend Katherine playing the church organ for us.

It was a truly memorable and inspiring morning!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

School Trip: Year 4 visited a Hindu temple to learn more about how Hindus worship. The children were fascinated by the colourful statues and images of different gods and goddesses, each representing special qualities and stories. They listened carefully as the guide explained how Hindus pray, offer flowers or food, and ring bells during worship to show respect to the gods. The visit helped the class understand the importance of devotion, peace, and community in Hinduism.
