Today many of James' Dance Club performed at the Quarterhouse. The event was the Wavelengths Community Dance Day, it is the second year this exciting opportunity has been held. Various different Dance Schools joined in for this event, which was a pleasure to watch. Huge thanks to James for organising and teaching our children the two dances, Colour of Love and Journey to the Past. We really appreciate all the children and parents that helped to make the occasion so great.

This week we held our annual confirmation service. Ten of our pupils were confirmed and it was lovely to welcome Bishop Rise to lead the service. Confirmation is a special church service in which a person confirms the promises that were made for them when they were baptised. Bishop Rose laid her hands on their heads and asked God’s Holy Spirit to give them the strength and commitment to live God’s way for the rest of their life. The children sang beautifully and were brillian

Ducklings had their very first Beach School session, and it’s safe to say it was a huge success! The children were incredibly sensible as we walked down to the sunny beach, demonstrating excellent behaviour and strong awareness of road safety along the way. Once we arrived, the children couldn’t wait to enjoy the wide, open space. They had a quick run across the sand, making the most of the freedom to move and explore in a safe, natural environment.
