On Monday, we looked at the Parable of the Prodigal Son and thought about when we make mistakes how we can we learn form them and change our behaviour. We also sang We All Live In God's Big Family - which was a really lovely song to sing as a school. In singing assembly this week, we perfected our two-part round ready for the challenge of a four-part round next time. Lariene bravely sang ‘Lost Boy’ which showed real courage in front of us all. We then linked this song to the worship story of the two brothers and the greeting that the lost son received. We finished by singing ‘You Will be Found’ from ‘Dear Evan Hansen.’ Today we had Finland's wonderful class worship and celebrated our stars of the week!

They will learn about ancient meteorites, the science of energy and the magic of our imaginations as you discover the secrets of conjuring. Will they survive an encounter with a grudgernaut? How high can an ozoz jump? What sound does a hix make?
