• Picture News Assembly - 25th September 2025

  Fri 12 Sep 2025

  Schools in the UK will soon need to give more lessons on democracy, how voting

  works, and how the country is run. This is because the voting age for the general

  election is being lowered to 16. Many agree that young people need to be

  ready to make informed decisions. At first, these lessons will be for children

  aged 14 and over, but the plan is to begin teaching these issues from 11 years of age, so everyone has plenty of time to learn.

   

  Things to talk about at home ...

   - Talk to someone older at home, and ask them to share their experiences of voting and their thoughts on the news that 16-year-olds will be able to vote.

   

   - Can you think of times when you have taken part in a vote? What was the outcome?

   

  - Do you believe it’s important for young people to learn about voting and democracy? If so, what age do you think the lessons should start?

  

• Picture News Assembly - 10.09.25

  Wed 10 Sep 2025

  Every fortnight, we do an in-class assembly called PictureNews.  Every class will focus in on a topical news issue and explore it using a big question.  The topic links to British Values, Diversity and Inclusion.  It gives the children a change to share their thoughts, feelings and questions.

   

  Here is some information on this week's picture:

  What makes a building special?

  A church in Kiruna, which is one of Sweden’s largest wooden buildings, has been carefully moved 5km to a new location. Many buildings in the city are being relocated because the ground is unstable due to iron ore mining. The church, built in 1912 and voted Sweden’s most beautiful pre-1950 building, was slowly transported on special trailers. The process was watched by thousands of people.

• An Amazing Author Visit at Christ Church

  Thu 10 Jul 2025

  We have a visit from a wonderful author today called Mariyah Hussain.  She is an ex-pupil and now an author.  She came to Christ Church 50 years ago.  She has always wanted to visit and chose this year to come.  She spoke to Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6.  She shared her journey to becoming an author; she met the librarians and we took her on a tour.  She loved the new look of the school.  She thought it looked and felt amazing.  She signed her books and left with a smile.
