• Bishop Rob's Enthronement

  Sun 30 Nov 2025 Mrs. Fish

  On Saturday, Harriet represented the school at a very special service in Carlisle Cathedral. It was the 68th Bishop's Enthronement Service and you can watch it here on YouTube... 

  Enthronement Service

  Harriet, Ruby and William were all absolutely amazing ambassadors for our schools and our wider family of church schools in the Diocese. It was a LONG service but they played their parts perfectly. We could tell, had a lot of fun drenching the congregation in holy water!

  See @diocese of Carlisle for all the professional pics; I've also posted a few below for you to see. 

  

• Diwali - Hindu Visitor

  Wed 26 Nov 2025 Mrs. Fish

  This week in RE, P5 received a visit from a Hindu speaker who talked to the class about Diwali. 

  Rashmi talked about 'The Festival of Lights' and explained how it is celebrated. She also reminded us about some of the different Hindu gods and how they fit in to the celebrations.

  The word Diwali means 'rows of lighted lamps'. It is celebrated by Hindu people across the world.

  Diwali is known as the 'festival of lights' because houses, shops and public places are decorated with small oil lamps called 'diyas'.

  Diwali is also celebrated in Sikhism and Jainism.

  Below you can see some objects shown to us that are used during the celebrations. 

  We enjoyed learning about a different festival and comparing the similarities and differences with Christian celebrations throughout the year. 

  Rashmi enjoyed her afternoon at Bridekirk and we enjoyed listening and asking her questions.  

   

  

• Remembrance Day

  Tue 11 Nov 2025 Mrs. Fish

  Today Rev Christina led a Remembrance Service for us in school. 

  The children were encouraged to consider those who risk their lives for the good of others. We remembered all those who are currently experiencing unrest in war zones around the world. 

  Christina played a short song with images to help the children reflect upon this. 

  At 11am we all observed two minutes silence.

  The names of 20 service men and women who lost their lives in the 1st and 2nd World War were read out - these 20 men were all from our Parish. You can see a photo of the children holding a poppy for each name that was read out. 

  

• Odd Socks Day

  Mon 10 Nov 2025 Fiona Taylor

  Today odd socks day was celebrated in school as part of Anti-Bullying Week, promoting kindness and celebrating individuality by wearing mismatched socks.

  Wearing odd socks is a visual reminder that differences should be celebrated. It encouraged the children to talk about individuality and respect. In addition, all the classes are following the Jigsaw unit in their PHSE lessons about celebrating differences. 

  Some of the sock combinations were definitely odd - and were a talking point amongst the children at playtime.
