RE 📖 Rev Alice visited to show us different Bibles. We learnt it has 66 books across two Testaments, was first written in Hebrew, and is constantly translated. She shared how reading it helps her feel connected to God.

Balancing Balls 🏈 We have been trying really hard to balance balls on our rackets today in PE. What an important skills we have begun to master. Thanks Sam and Mrs Daly for helping us
