The children in Year 1 came to school in their odd socks to support anti-bullying week.
They also created their very own odd socks using paint and rolling a marble.
This afternoon we hosted our annual coffee afternoon to raise as much money as possible for MacMillan. The children dressed up in green and white alongside many of the adults! There was lots of yummy cakes shared and lots of money raised. Thank you to everyone that was able to come and those who donated.
This year the children in Marlfields have worked very hard on their paintings following the theme 2050. Two representatives from the Rotary club came in to award the children for their fantastic efforts and every child who participated was awarded with a certificate. Three pieces were chosen and were given a very exciting art prize. Thank you Rotary club for another fantastic competition and we look forward to seeing what next years will bring!
Yesterday, the children observed and learnt all about different types of animals and how we classify them. The children learnt all about mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians. We went on a walk around the school grounds to see what animals we could spot. We then came back to class and put them in the correct category. We saw so many different types of animals!
This week in our world religion lesson we looked at ‘The last supper’ and how Christians celebrate the holy communion by eating bread to represent the body of Jesus and wine (juice) to represent Jesus’ blood. We also looked at Good Friday and the Easter story in class. This was then followed up with an assembly to help the children understand that Jesus forgave everybody for his sins and died with them in order to give everyone a ‘clean slate’ – this was demonstrated in the assembly by the speaker getting a pie in the face for others mistakes.
We then looked at the rebirth of Jesus and how he resurrected on Easter Sunday and what the Easter egg represents (new life).
Below are some pictures from this weeks lessons and assembly.
