• KS1 Advent at Stowlangtoft Church

  Tue 30 Nov 2021

  KS1 really enjoyed looking around the church at Stowlangtoft this morning. We learnt about Advent and the meaning behind each of the candles of the Advent wreath. The pupils used hand bells to play Christmas carols underneath the church bells. We used mini UV torches to find the hidden symbols of Christmas and we gazed at the stained glass window showing the picture of the Nativity. We finished the morning by singing a Christmas song together. 

  

• KS2 Advent Workshop

  Mon 29 Nov 2021

  We are Waiting by Comet Class
  
  We Are Waiting
  We are waiting anxious and excited,
  When the baby was born
  Mary was delighted.
  
  We are waiting peaceful and calm,
  The light of Jesus
  Will guide us from harm.
  
  We are waiting impatient and amazed,
  When church bells ring
  Jesus will be praised.
  
  We are waiting loved and grateful
  Thinking of those
  Who won’t get a plateful.
  
  We are waiting merry and thrilled,
  For on Christmas Day,
  Our stockings will be filled.
  
  Key Stage 2 a fantastic day with with Caroline from the Churches Conservation Trust, thinking about the meaning of Advent. We thought about how it feels to wait, the characters from the Bible represented by the candles on the Advent crown and different Christmas traditions and their origins.
  It was wonderful to hear the children drawing comparisons to some things we saw and heard at the Mosque last week

  Wed 24 Nov 2021

  Premier Arts visited the school to run a dance workshop with each class. Every child had the opportunity to be part of a dance routine linked to Diwali. The dancing required the children to follow a sequence which involved a lot of movements using their hands, arms, feet, face and neck. Great fun was had by all the children.
