  • What a magical day Seahorse class had yesterday at Bodmin Railway! Upon arrival, we were greeted by a team of happy elves, reindeer and snowmen who guided us on board the steam train. While on the stream train, we had an exciting visit from Santa who delivered each child a special gift. We each gave Santa a hi-5 and shared our Christmas wishes with him. We didn't stop smiling or singing all day! We could not have been prouder of our children who were superstars on their first ever school trip!

  • Year 1 & 2 Christingle Service Visit Today our Year 1 and 2 children enjoyed a visit to Mount Charles Methodist Church for their Christingle service. The children each made their own Christingle using an orange, red tape, dolly mixture sweets and a glow stick, and learned what each part represents. A Christingle is a special celebration that reminds us of Jesus as the Light of the World and is often linked with supporting others in need. The orange represents the world. The red tape symbolises God's love and the sacrifice of Jesus. The dolly mixture represents all of God's creation and the good things in the world. The light of the glowstick reminds us of Jesus bringing hope and light to everyone. The children behaved beautifully and represented our school brilliantly. Thank you to everyone at Mount Charles Methodist Church for such a warm welcome!
