Lower School

Pupils celebrated the wonderful range of vegetables that have been grown in Little Roots this year with a special 'From Seed to Soup' event in the outdoor classroom. The highlight for many pupils was tasting a delicious homemade soup made from vegetables grown in the allotment, including pumpkin, carrot and parsnip . It was fantastic to see so many children willing to try the soup and discover just how tasty freshly grown vegetables can be. The celebrations continued with a range of seasonal activities. Pupils enjoyed a lively game of Pass the Pumpkin , which brought plenty of laughter, before heading off on an autumn scavenger hunt . Armed with keen eyes and plenty of enthusiasm, they explored the area looking for signs of the changing season, spotting colourful leaves, seeds, berries and other treasures of autumn. To bring the event to a cosy close, everyone gathered around the fire to toast a marshmallow and enjoy a warming cup of hot chocolate. The 'From Seed to Soup' celebration was a wonderful reminder of the rewards of growing our own food and spending time learning in the natural environment.

Upper 1 had a fantastic time visiting Norwich Cathedral for ‘The Big Bible Story’! We explored lots of different parts of the Bible, discovering some of its best-known stories. The children loved the chance to dress up as a bishop and learn all about their role as a shepherd, linking this to the wonderful story of the Good Shepherd. We became story detectives, searching the Cathedral’s beautiful stained-glass windows and ceiling bosses for clues about the stories from the Old and New Testaments. We also found out more about two important Christian traditions – Baptism and Holy Communion (Eucharist). There was so much to see, discover and talk about, and we had a brilliant time bringing our Religious Education learning to life!
