It’s been a busy week at the end of a long term.

At the beginning of the week, the home teams in P4a created fantastic stop motion animations for Mrs Mackenzie. They were really pleased with the results and Mrs Mackenzie was really impressed with the team work demonstrated by the groups as they set to the various tasks.

In RME we looked at the spread of the 5 major religions and from this considered the countries in the world where Easter is celebrated as an easter festival. Lots of countries around the world do different things including in Germany where these amazing Osterbaum are created

and Australia where the Easter Bilby brings the eggs rather than the bunny!

We enjoyed the Easter service and sharing our One World song from Eddie and the Penguin one final time with the school and community.

Wishing you all a fantastic holiday and happy Easter!
