Sharing Joy Through Reflection Some of our KS2 children spent time in our Bee Reflection and Prayer Space, responding to this week's collective worship on The Feeding of the 5000. They created beautiful mosaics and wrote thoughtful prayers about how we can share joy, kindness and what we have with othersbringing our values of Wonder, Belief and Joy to life each day To find out more about our approach to collective worship and about our church school visit: https://www.eastravendale.co.uk/christian-vision-and-values Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust #Wonder #Belief #Joy #LAAT #EastRavendale #ChristianValues #CollectiveWorship #PrimarySchoolLife

It was wonderful to see Brigsley's Little Readers come together at East Ravendale during half term on Friday We enjoyed sharing 'The Oak Tree' by Julia Donaldson, exploring the theme of creation through a range of hands-on outdoor activities. The children showed such curiosity and joy as they planted seeds, went on a scavenger hunt with magnifying glasses, created and sailed their own boats, printed with leaves and even made leaf hedgehogs. After listening to and retelling the story together, we shared a lovely time enjoying lunch boxes and delicious cakes, kindly prepared by Mrs Green – thank you. We are always proud to support our wider community through events like this and are so pleased to be part of Brigsley's Little Readers. Experiences like these help bring families together and create lasting memories beyond the classroom. A huge thank you to everyone involved for your organisation and commitment – we hope to be part of it again soon!

Nursery & Reception will explore the exciting world of kings, queens and castles, sparking curiosity through stories and imaginative play. Year 1 & 2 will learn about the lives and significance of important monarchs from across history, discovering why they are remembered today. Year 3 & 4 will delve deeper into the Victorian period, uncovering how monarchy shaped life during this era. Year 5 & 6 will study the Tudors, exploring how Tudor monarchs influenced Britain and the lasting impact of their reigns. We're excited to see our children make meaningful connections across history as they journey through time this term!

Power to Drive STEM Workshop – Year 5/6 At the beginning of May, our Year 5/6 pupils took part in a fantastic STEM workshop called Power to Drive, delivered by ElevationX. We were incredibly grateful that Mrs Jackson won this opportunity, made possible through collaboration with YPO and NPower Business Solutions. Led by Ella, the children explored how miniature electric cars are built, learning about gears, voltage and distance. They then applied their maths skills to carry out tests, record results and draw graphs, using lines of best fit to help their team's car stop as close as possible to a set distance. The workshop encouraged curiosity, teamwork and perseverance, with pupils showing great wonder, strong belief in their abilities and plenty of joy as they worked together and celebrated their learning.

Rabbits have been busy learning all about weaving in Art with Mrs Smith. They began by evaluating existing artwork, practised weaving with paper and then designed their own habitats inspired by their science learning before creating their final fabric woven pieces. This was a tricky process that really challenged their fine motor skills, but the children showed fantastic perseverance and determination throughout. We are so proud of their resilience and creativity and the finished artworks are simply beautiful! A wonderful example of "I can do all things through God who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13).

As we move into half term, many children may spend a little more time online and on devices. While games like Minecraft can be creative, social and lots of fun, staying safe online is paramount. Last week's Wake Up Wednesday focused on Minecraft, highlighting potential risks such as public servers, online interactions, ingame spending and addictive gameplay. It also shared practical advice for how parents and educators can work together to help children stay safe through open conversations, clear boundaries and regular checks of privacy and safety settings. At East Ravendale, we encourage our children to explore the digital world with wonder, make wise choices with belief, and enjoy learning and play with joy both online and offline. Thank you for continuing to work in partnership with us to keep our children safe, confident and happy. Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust

LAAT Music Day Yesterday, seven of our Year 3/4 children joined pupils from other schools across our hub at The Canon Peter Hall Primary School for a fantastic LAAT Music Day. They took part in a range of inspiring workshops led by teachers from across the hub and later performed to the rest of the hub via Teams, proudly sharing what they had learned The children had a wonderful time and showed just how talented they are. A huge well done to everyone involved and a heartfelt thank you to all the staff who supported the event across the hub. It was a brilliant example of collaboration, confidence and joy in learning Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust #Wonder #Belief #Joy #LAAT #EastRavendale #PrimarySchoolLife #LearningTogether #SchoolCommunity

On Wednesday, we came together to celebrate World Bee Day, using bees as a wonderful way to explore and reflect our school values. Throughout the day, we gathered in worship to learn about bees and returned at the end of the day to joyfully share our learning with our whole school community Across the school, children discovered the different jobs bees have within their hive and thoughtfully considered their own role within our school family. There was a real buzz of creativity and teamwork as children planted beefriendly poppies and nasturtiums, wrote prayers and poems, created fact files and artwork and worked together on a beautiful bee collage. EYFS even ventured onto the field to try out the waggle dance, communicating where nectar could be found a brilliant example of learning through wonder and joy! Children decorated bees to show something they're great at, something they find tricky, and something they can do with God's strength and help. Using colourful airdrying clay, children worked collaboratively to create water stations for bees, sharing resources and ideas to help care for God's creation Foxes class were very lucky enough to taste delicious local honey kindly brought in by Emelia, harvested with her grandad from his own beehives a truly special treat! The day reminded us that, just like bees, we are stronger when we work together and that with God's help we can face challenges and grow in confidence "I can do all things through God who strengthens me."

Exciting arrivals in Hedgehogs Class! This half term, Hedgehogs welcomed 10 eggs and an incubator from Rand Farm. The children carefully monitored the eggs, used candling to look for signs of life and were thrilled to see movement and hear chirping as hatching day arrived. Over two days, 6 healthy chicks hatched and the children have loved caring for them, learning about the life cycle and building a safe chick run. They've named the chicks Black Knight, Sunshine, Linda, Rosie, Sparkles and Nee Nee and are taking turns to feed and water them before they head to their new home this week. A joyful experience full of wonder, responsibility and thankfulness for God's amazing creation.
