On Thursday the 25th July Kindergarten travelled by bus to Calmsley Hill Farm.
When we arrived we met our farmers who took us on tour around the farm. We saw goats, chickens, cows, pigs, ponies, sheep and baby animals. We also went on a tractor ride. We even milked a cow!
After lunch we watched a whip cracking show, a working dog show and a sheep shearing show. We had so much fun learning about farm animals.
On Monday we were very excited to discover that we had been given some special eggs to take care of for two weeks. We were also given four baby chicks.
As part of our Creation unit of work in Religion, we are learning all about God’s Creation and the importance of caring for all parts of Creation.
We were amazed on Wednesday when some of our eggs started to hatch. Now we have seven chicks in our classroom. We are hoping some more of our eggs will hatch each day.
To care for our eggs we need to make sure the incubator is warm. To care for our chicks we need to make sure they have a warm lamp to sit under, fresh water and food.
We are so excited to care for God’s Creation in our classroom!

What a delightful sight it was to see our school adorned with an array of colourful and creative Easter hats during our recent Easter Hat Parade! Today, our students came together to showcase their imagination and craftsmanship in celebration of the Easter season. Even the Easter Bunny made an appearance! From the Kindergarteners to the Year 6 students, every member of our school community eagerly participated, donning their most festive and fabulous Easter hats. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and anticipation as we gathered to admire the creativity and flair on display. As our students paraded around the school grounds, their smiles shone as brightly as the sunshine above. It was a joyous occasion filled with laughter, camaraderie, and a sense of community spirit that embodies the essence of Christ the King.

What a special occasion it was to gather together as a school community for the Holy Week liturgy. All our students came together to commemorate the solemn and sacred journey leading up to Easter Sunday. Highlighting the significance of this holy time, our Year 6 students acted out the poignant and profound story of Easter. With reverence and dedication, they brought to life the timeless narrative of sacrifice, redemption, and the triumph of hope. As we approach Easter Sunday, we extend our warmest wishes to the entire Christ the King community. May this Easter be filled with the blessings of faith, the warmth of love, and the joy of new beginnings. May it be a time of reflection, gratitude, and spiritual growth for each and every one of us. On behalf of the school staff , we wish you all a very happy, safe, and holy Easter. May the peace and joy of this sacred season be with you and your loved ones today and always.

We were honoured today to welcome Mother Hilda Scott from the Benedictine Order to our school of Christ the King. Mother Hilda graced us with her wisdom and kindness as she spoke to our students about the profound love of God, emphasising that each and every one of us is cherished and called by name. Her words touched our hearts and reminded us of the infinite grace that surrounds us. In a special session with our Year 6 students, Mother Hilda inspired them to be peacemakers and ambassadors of God's love in the world. She encouraged them to spread kindness, compassion, and understanding, fostering a spirit of harmony and unity wherever they go. It was a truly uplifting experience for our school community, and we are grateful to Mother Hilda for sharing her insights and faith with us. Let's carry her message of love and peace in our hearts, making a positive difference in the lives of others. π #MotherHildaScott #BenedictineOrder #GodsLove #Peacemakers #ChristTheKingSchool #jamberooabbey
