Tonight brings a truly special moment as we witness a solar eclipse, a rare and exciting event that our children will be experiencing for the very first time and one that some of us may have been lucky enough to witness back in 1999! As families enjoy this wonderful opportunity to explore God's amazing creation, please remember to view the eclipse safely. Never look directly at the sun without proper eclipse glasses and take time to talk with children about how to observe this incredible spectacle safely. At East Ravendale C of E Primary School, we love inspiring curiosity and awe through moments of Wonder, encouraging children to learn about the world around them with Belief and Joy. We hope you enjoy this unforgettable experience together as a family #Wonder #Belief #Joy #LAAT #EastRavendale #SolarEclipse #LearningTogether #SchoolCommunity

What a fantastic half term! Here's a round-up of Summer Term 2. As we continue to enjoy the blessings of the summer holidays, it is a wonderful time to reflect on all that God has enabled us to achieve and enjoy together during Summer Term 2. From a positive SIAMS inspection, excellent statutory assessment outcomes and achieving our Gold School Games Award . To Sports Day, the Summer Fayre, the Year 5/6 residential, educational visits, transition events and fundraising for the Love as Action Together Fund ; the term was full of memorable experiences and opportunities to flourish. We also said farewell to our Year 6 pupils, giving thanks for the many ways they have grown and shone during their time with us. As we look back, we are reminded of the words from Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through God who strengthens me." Through God's love, and guided by our values of Wonder, Belief and Joy, our children have shown courage, perseverance, friendship and kindness in all they have done. Thank you to our children, staff, families and wider community for your continued support. We hope you are all enjoying a restful summer, filled with joy, gratitude and God's blessings Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust #Wonder #Belief #Joy #LAAT #EastRavendale #ChristianValues #SchoolCommunity #PrimarySchoolLife #LearningTogether
