What a brilliant term 3!

As we finish up for February half term, we are reflecting on a very busy and wonderful term 3. It has been such a joy to meet so many children and young people, as well as their teachers. We hope that all school staff and children have a restful break next week.

Our final lesson of the term was one of our sensory workshops. It was fabulous to interact with the children as they discovered some of the stories Jesus told through sights, sounds and lots of things to squish!

Where is the Lost Sheep? Children love opening the boxes and finding the squishy animal inside!

Such a great way to tell the story- the children are enthralled with these colour changing lights.

The Plinko board was a success!

It's the start of a New Year!

We hope you have had a positive start to 2026. As has been the case every term this year, this is our busiest Term 3 ever!

In Secondary we are doing lots of our popular GCSE sessions, including Mission and Evangelism. We use Jackie Pullinger as a case study and students do an investigation task to find out more about her. We recommend her book, ‘Chasing the Dragon’ to students, so we are reminding ourselves to read it again as well!

Decoding a Bible teaching - The Great Commission - which underpins the topic.

Happy Christmas!

Sending Christmas greetings to all our supporters at this special time of year. We have so enjoyed all our Christmas lessons, workshops and trails this year. It has been a fabtastic run up to the end of term.

We topped it all off today with our wonderful sensory Christmas workshop at Redland Church, full of twinkling lights, smells of frankincense and sounds of carols with accompanying bells!

Christmas Through The Keyhole

We have loved partnering with 3 different churches this year to host our magical Christmas Through The Keyhole trail. Children from a variety of schools across Bristol have stepped into the Christmas story, experiencing the sights, sounds and smells of the different people and places on the way to Bethlehem. It has been a joy to see and hear their reactions and they have asked some really thoughtful questions. Teachers and parents have commented on how interactive and accessible it was, and one child said: "This was the best Christmas thing ever!"

It has been wonderful to work alongside different churches as they have shared their space and time, to bring the reason why Christians celebrate Christmas to life.

At the home of the Magi- lots of different things to smell in here!

At Mary’s house, but we need to find out where she has gone.

The children enjoyed doing crafts after the trail and made some beautiful decorations to take home.

At St. Stephen’s Church in Southmead.

The end of the trail: The Stable. We enjoyed dressing up and discovered lots of budding actors!

Tis the Season...

It’s that time of year again, we can’t believe it! As we kick off our various Christmas lessons this week, the team are enjoying lots of dressing up. Here is ‘Herod’ in our ‘Christmas: What’s all the fuss?’ lesson. Do you know which team member this is?!

Our Christmas lessons are jam packed with interactive activities, crafts and drama, and we so appreciate our volunteers at this time. It’s full on, but lots of fun!

It was a Kind of Magic!

We had a fantastic time on Saturday night at our "It's a Kind of Magic" show! Professional magicians wowed the crowd with unbelievable illusions, and fun and laughter were had by all. The team also had some training from the magicians before the show, so we are looking forward to using some tricks in our lessons!

Creation vs. Evolution

We had some great discussion with Year 6 yesterday in our Creation vs. Evolution: Conflicting Views about the Creation of the World lesson! The children said they enjoyed using different media and artwork. They work in pairs to find out the evidence for one of the positions, cracking codes and then debating the different views using the evidence. It is so interesting hearing their opinions and explanations, and for them to realise that science and religion can support each other.

Everyone is Special!

We have a brand new SEND workshop called ‘Everyone is Special to God’, based on the story of Zaccheaus. As always, there are lots of different sensory activities for the children to engage with. It was wonderful to deliver it in our first school of this academic year. -the cuddly animals, smelly rice and light up leaves were a real hit!

"It's a Kind of Magic" Show!

A spectacular show for the whole family!

Join us for an unforgettable evening filled with wonder, laughter, and incredible illusions. Professional magicians will dazzle you with mind-blowing tricks and magical moments you’ll never forget.
