Year 5/6 learn how to become priests!

We’ve been ‘making priests’ in Year 5/6 this week, as we learned all about the Sacrament of Holy Orders. We began by acting out the roles of the bishop and the ordinand (the trainee priest) before Father Simon came in to talk about his own ordination service, and answered our questions. Pictured is Nicholas trying on the Bishop’s Mitre and Bishop Connor passes the Holy Spirit to Ordinand Joseph as part of our service

GIRAFFE NEWS Giraffe class have started their new topic with looking at different forms of transport. We found lots of different ways to sort the transport; big and small, fast and slow. We found the best way to sort the transport was how they travelled; in the air, in the water and on the ground. We also played a guessing game where we had to listen to what each form of transport sounded like.
