Christingle Service December 5th 2014

We all learnt about the meaning of the Christingle and enjoyed singing some of our favourite Christmas carols too.  It was wonderful to see 136 lit Christingles singing-  'Sing Christingle' at the end.

Powerdown Day- Thinking about God's Great World

On Friday 28th November we all thought about saving energy across the school to protect our planet from pollution and greenhouse gases.  We had a complete electricity shut down across the school (except the heating and freezers and fridges in the kitchen) and saved 150 units of energy that day alone!  We had lessons with chalk and a blackboard for the day too.
We are now all focussing on making sure lights and devices are switched off when they are not being used....
