Year 1 Pupil-Led Liturgy This week, our Year 1 children proudly led a special liturgy focused on God's love and how we can show love and kindness to others in our daily lives. It was wonderful to welcome parents to join us in prayer and reflection. As part of the liturgy, families wrote thoughtful prayers for our Prayer Tree, creating a beautiful display filled with messages of love, hope, and gratitude. The children showed great confidence and reverence as they shared their learning and led the worship. Thank you to all the parents and carers who joined us and helped make the experience so meaningful.

Father's Day Craft Stay and Play Morning What a lovely morning our Cygnets had celebrating with their grown-ups! The children enjoyed helping to make their very own Rainbow Fish, inspired by one of our favourite stories this half term. They also had lots of fun decorating a Baa Baa Black Sheep craft to take home. To make the morning extra special, the children proudly sang "10 Fat Sausages" for their grown-ups and shared our morning prayer together. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the morning so memorable. We loved seeing the children sharing their creations and spending quality time with their special adults. #FathersDay #Cygnets #EarlyYears #RainbowFish #nurserylife
