We welcomed Sean from Somerset Cricket Club who led fantastic cricket sessions with all children across the school from Reception up to Year 6.  Great cricket skills were shown and lots of collaboration too!  Cricket sessions will be running on Friday evenings at Cranmore Cricket Club if children would like to take part.  

We have three superb peripatetic music teachers who offer weekly lessons at St Aldhelm's.  This week, Mrs Brock joined us to entertain us with some amazing violin playing including pieces from Taylor Swift, Pirates of the Caribbean, James Bond and Harry Potter.  We even had a spontaneous sing along to ABBA!  Mrs Brock praised the children, firstly on their amazing worship singing but also their energy and fun.  A joyous end to Friday worship.  

Some wow Science today 🤩

The children loved investigating the impact of increasing the number of bulbs in a circuit. There were great predictions made that could then be explored through practical experiments. The children used a light measuring app to gather reliable data.  They tested their circuits multiple times and found the mean average. I was impressed with their conclusions and explanations for any anomalies. Amazing work Falcons 💡 👍

We are excited to take part in Thy Kingdom Come, a global wave of prayer that is happening between Ascension and Pentecost.  Our challenge is to find different, creative ways to pray, remembering that there is no right or wrong way.  So far,  we have group gratitude prayers, prayer chains, and individually putting our hands together to say thank you for our food.  We are excited to try new ways over the next 11 days!

Spring has definitely sprung at St Aldhelm's. Mrs Bevan brought three beautiful lambs to join us.  There were questions galore as well as cuddles for the whole school too!
