Ripon Cathedral School Update

A group of Year 4 pupils visited the Cathedral to support the preparations for Candlemas. This is an annual festival that celebrates the time when Jesus was presented as a baby in the temple. The children created a design with a cross which was also a candle. They used different coloured lights to create the rays shining out. I am sure that their design looked quite spectacular when it was lit for the service.

This week Year 3 put together a wonderful worship for the school all about the work of the Blue Cross. They explained how pets can be cared for and explained how we can all help animals in need. During the worship they shared their video (click below) featuring two dramas that they had made about animals that were cared for by the Blue Cross.

A fabulous worship Year 3. Well done.

The children in Nursery have been learning about Chinese New Year. They decided to make their own dragon which they took all around the school to visit every classroom. A super effort Nursery.

This week Eva from Spiritual Council asked the question, 'What is your dream for our planet? How can you make it a reality?' The children had some great ideas and were really enthusiastic about the changes that they could make to improve our world.

'We dream of a world that doesn't use any fossil fuels and makes better use of alternative fuel sources.' Year 6

'We dream of equality for all and no people being homeless. We can make this happening by all helping those in need.' Year 6

'Keep the world tidy and make it look better. We can put all our rubbish in the bin and be courageous by telling others to do the same.' Reception

'We dream of a world with no racism, sexism or discrimination by making sure people treat people kindly.' Year 5

'No fighting and for everyone to love each other.' Year 1

'We dream that everyone has a good home to live in.' Year 4

'Jesus trusts us to be a good neighbour and if we follow his example we would have a friendly world.' Year 4

'We dream that all wars will end so everyone is safe and happy. We can do this by everyone saying no to war.' Year 2

'We think the oceans should be free of plastic and we should recycle our waste.' Year 2
