Our amazing Magic Maths winners for this week are:
Article 28: You have the right to an education.
Here are some photographs of Year 3 recreating St Basil’s Cathedral using two types of media. First we used crayons to make patterns and draw outlines. Next we used watercolours to paint over the entire picture. It made such an impressive piece of work that the children were very proud of.
Some of our year 6’s wish to say a very Merry Christmas to you all!
Article 26: Governments must provide extra money for the children of families in need.
The children had a great time on their Reindeer Run on behalf of the Angel Trust charity. Thank you for your kind donations. We have raised £66.75 for the trust as well as having lots of fun in the process.
Article 30: Every child has the right to learn and use the language, customs and religion of their family, regardless of whether these are shared by the majority of the people in the country where they live.
Today we performed our Christmas service. Year 5 took the lead on readings whilst the whole school sang their hearts out. We performed traditional Christmas carols as well as some more upbeat Christmas songs. Look out for the link to watch the service from the comfort of your homes.

Article 31: Every child has the right to relax, play and take part in a wide range of activities.
The whole of school spent the day working with The Happy Puzzle Company on Wednesday this week on different Maths challenges. We worked in teams to try and solve as many of the puzzles as we could including a maze marble run, a fishing game where we were blindfolded and a balancing task. We worked on our logical thinking and resilience as some of the challenges took perseverance and determination. A great day was had by all; each year group was praised for their maths skills, thinking skills and positive attitudes when trying new challenges.

Year 4 made Advent Wreaths. These include the five important candles that are lit in the build up to the birth of Jesus: Hope, Joy, Preparation, Love and the white candle which represents Jesus. This candle is lit on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

A few photographs from 5H…
In French children were producing a leaflet for a French cafe and eating the tasty snacks they would sell.
In RE we have been comparing the rituals and traditions of Christmas and the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. We used a dreidel, which is a spinning top, to play a traditional Jewish game. The symbols on the dreidel represent the Hebrew phrase “Nes gadol haya sham” which means a great miracle happened here.
Article 29: You have the right to develop your own talents.
CHJS football team have been a credit to our school and we are all so very proud of them. The children were phenomenal throughout the tournament and made it to the final with ease Wednesday. After a 4-0 win in the semi-final, CHJS took on Thornhill in the final with the score line at 2-2 when the whistle blew. The team then bravely took on penalties, conceding a goal with the final score being 3-2 to Thornhill.
The final really could have gone either way. Amazingly, the team have scored 28 goals in the tournament, conceding only 3 throughout! I think they should be incredibly proud of themselves.
A big shout out to Mr Johnson and Miss Johnson for their dedication to the team over the last few weeks also!
