This week, it was Year 5's turn to lead the school and parents in a time of prayer. The children helped us to reflect on what Jesus wanted his followers to learn when he washed his disciples' feet. We thought about how we can serve others, just like Jesus did.

Today, Year 5 enjoyed activities linked to Chinese New Year, including a workshop led by teachers from Lancaster University and Chinese tangrams (an ancient maths puzzle). We learnt how to say 'Happy New Year' in Chinese and why each year is linked to an animal. We hope all our families from China…
