The Lion King Comes to Life in Class SB

As part of our Friday afternoon enrichment sessions, Class SB has been exploring the world of theatre through the story of The Lion King. Throughout the half-term, the children have learned about performance, storytelling and characterisation. To celebrate the end of our topic, the children used the shadow puppets they had created in class while their classmates narrated the script, working together to put on a wonderful shadow theatre performance. It was fantastic to see their creativity, confidence and teamwork shine through as they shared their learning in such an engaging way.

Reflections on Spirituality

As part of our R.E. learning, the children in Class SB have been exploring the meaning of spirituality and what it means to each of us as individuals. We reflected on a range of key questions, thinking carefully about our beliefs, feelings, experiences and the world around us. The children shared some thoughtful and inspiring responses, which are on display in our classroom for everyone to reflect upon. As you read their ideas, take a moment to consider: how would you respond to these questions?

 

Harvest service

Our Harvest Service at St Michael's Church was a wonderful celebration of gratitude and giving. We were delighted to welcome Matt and Michelle from the Waveney Foodbank, who collected the many generous donations brought in by our school community. Rev Chris Davey shared a meaningful Harvest Blessing both for the donations and for the school. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who donated and helped support local families in need. Thank you as well to our talented Worship Team for leading the service and helping to make it such a special occasion for all.

Class KN Art

 

Class KN have create wonderful drawings using oil pastels, showing great thought and care in their use of colour and contrast. They were inspired by David Hockney’s 20 Flowers and Some Bigger Pictures series, particularly his vibrant colours, bold compositions and close observation of flowers. It has been lovely to see them take inspiration from Hockney’s work and develop these ideas in their own creative way. They should feel very proud of the imaginative and thoughtful artwork they have created.

European Languages Day

Year 5 and 6 Explore the Light of Christingle.

Year 5 and 6 have been busy learning about Christingles in class. Together, they made a few Christingles while exploring the special meaning and symbolism behind each part. It was a lovely, hands-on way to learn about this Christian tradition, and the fresh oranges made our classrooms smell wonderful too!

Litter heroes in action around Framlingham

As part of this year's Civic Engagement, Class MBu pupils took part in a community litter pick around the Pageant Place and the front field at Framlingham Castle.  The children, who were very excited to be doing the litter pick, showed fantastic teamwork and a real commitment to caring for their local environment. As well as helping to make Framlingham cleaner and safer, the activity encouraged pupils to think about the importance of protecting wildlife and taking responsibility for the places we share. 

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to 1st Framlingham Cubs for kindly loaning the litter pickers; to David and Alex from Greener Fram for their support, guidance and stewardship throughout the event and to Framlingham Town Council for their support with bags - real community effort. Their help made this valuable community project possible and ensured that all the children had a safe and rewarding experience. Thank you to the parents who also volunteered to make this possible. We were amazed to discover just how much rubbish had been discarded and worked hard to collect an impressive 20kg of litter.
