• Year 4 - Vision and Values Project

  Thu 11 Apr 2024

  Exciting news for Year 4. 

   

  During Summer 1, Year 4 are being commissioned by the Head Teacher to link the school's vision and values to the house teams.

  It will be an 8-week project, supported by a theatre company called Stan's Cafe.

   

  The children will be doing two things,

  - designing a mural that will be going into the hall.

  - creating a performance which shares their work to the school and parents.

   

  This is going to be amazing!

• Christ Church Poetry Slam

  Tue 23 Jan 2024

  In January, poet extraordinaire - Kurly came to Christ Church.  We are working on promoting our vision and values and Kurly got us thinking really hard about this through poetry.  Each class (in Key Stage 2) was given a poem, and with a dash of inspiration, confidence and teamwork, they created the most amazing performances.  We will hopefully share the audio of the performances soon.

   

  Well done CC, another great day :-)

   

  

• What an AMAZING School!

  Wed 10 Jan 2024

  On the 13th December, the hall was full of laughter and fun, as we all enjoyed the Christmas Fayre.  Special mention to Mrs Khan and Mrs Hussain, who get us all organised.

   

  Parents and friends of Christ Church, we managed to raise £1555.53.  This will be shared between the classes and School Councillors will be coming up with ways to spend it.   

  Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️

  A wonderfully fun and festive period is upon us, at Christ Church School and we want to celebrate.  Here are some key events to keep in mind:

   

  Monday 11th December - Christmas Cantata at 9.15am.  It is the story of Jesus' birth through narration and song.  There is space for 30 parents to attend, so sign up via the office.

   

  Wednesday 13th December - It is Christmas Jumper Day and the Christmas Fayre (from 1.30pm until 3.30pm).  There will be games, mendhi, food, drink, Santa's grotto and much much more.  Bring lots of money and enjoy an amazing afternoon.  Children will have lunch in school, then need to be collected at 1.15pm, from Braithwaite Road.  Look out for a letter with all the details.

   

  Wednesday 20th December - Nativity play led by Year 1, Reception and Nursery.  This will be a spectacular retelling of how Jesus was born.

   

  I am excited and I hope you are too!

• Empathy Assembly

  Thu 09 Nov 2023

  On Wednesday 8th November, the wonderful Revd Sebrina led an amazing and sensitive assembly on Empathy.  She explored what empathy means through a Bible story and explored how we can show empathy within our school community but also towards things that are happening around the world.  Revd Sebrina helped us to 'walk in the shoes' of those who are experiencing war.
