During our final week of term the children from Year 1 to Year 6 visited Church for a very special prayer spaces experience.
When each class arrived for their allocated time slot, the children entered 'Jerusalem' to encounter the Palm Sunday procession.
After hearing the scripture from the Bible, the children then enjoyed making their own palm leaves with greetings written on such as, 'Hosanna' and 'Praise Him!'
Following this, a gathering took place to represent the 'Last Supper' at the side of church.
The children heard from the Bible reading how, in an act of great service, Jesus washed the feet of his disciples at this meal.
Modelled by their teachers first, three volunteers from each class then acted in the role of Jesus and washed the hands of their classmates.
Finally, the children gathered around the wooden cross, made by our Site Manager Mr Wood.
They spent time listening to the scripture about Good Friday and reflecting on forgiveness before adding their own post it note message to the cross.
We are so proud of the children for engaging so reverently in this special event to mark the events of Holy week.
On the last day of term, we gathered as a whole school family and also welcomed Reception class to join our Celebration of the Word.
Thank you to Year 6, who shared the Stations of the Cross with us.
It was a wonderful sight to see each child waving their own palm leaf at the relevant moment as we sang together!

As part of our unit of work in RE after we focused on the Parable of the Sower we took Jesus' meaning of the story and applied it ourselves. Thinking about how when we sow or grow something it is like the Kingdom of God growing in our our hearts. We joined with Year 4 and planted some more fruit trees on our school field to help us remember the meaning ourselves
Date: 18th Mar 2026 @ 7:59am
We focused on the scripture of Jesus' miracle of the loaves. We made our own baskets filled with 5 loaves and 2 fish and wrote on the back of each one small thing we could do to help others as Jesus encouraged his disciples by saying 'you yourselves give them something to eat'

Mission Together Lenten campaign - Spring term 2026
Date: 16th Mar 2026 @ 2:29pm
On Friday the 27th of February, Claire Colleran visited school to share information about the work of the charity Mission Together.
Mission Together is the children’s branch of Missio – the Catholic Church’s official charity for overseas mission.
Mission Together’s aim is to support life-giving children’s projects in places of poverty and turmoil, and to support the mission of Catholic education.
Mission Together work in over 150 countries around the world, supporting children in need.
This Lent, St Basil's want to support this amazing charity and we have had a great time on our fundraising event for them.
During the afternoon on Friday 27th March, the children went outside and worked in their house teams, each linked to a continent.
They collected and delivered 'Together tickets' to different locations around the school grounds, which represented the places that Mission Together supports.
It was a lot of fun and helped us to raise money all at the same time!
Together we have managed to raise £221.09. Thank you to everybody for supporting us!

On the 3rd of October, a large and enthusiastic group of nearly 40 Key Stage two pupils, joined us for a special lunch.
To mark CAFOD family fast day, we focused on 'living simply' in order to show solidarity with those who live in need.
Our 'simple' lunch consisted of soup and bread with fruit. It reminded us of others around the world who live without luxuries.
In particular, we were delighted to welcome some year three pupils to this event for the first time.
Well done and thank you to all the pupils and staff who took part in such an important event.
During Lent, we invited KS2 pupils to participate in this event once more, on Friday the 27th of February,
Again, we were so proud to see many returning faces, along with some new ones, to pledge their support.
