Lower Prep Drama Workshop Year 3 Forest School Trip with Manor House
We had a wonderful afternoon on Monday, filled with creativity and discovery. The children crafted mini teepees from sticks, built a willow frame for the sweet peas to climb, and planted their own sweet peas. Ellie guided us on a tour, helping us to identify edible and inedible plants everyone was amazed to learn that nettles and sticky weed can actually be eaten!
At the mud kitchen, imaginative “love potions” were carefully concocted, while nearby, concrete was mixed in a huge wheelbarrow. There was plenty of running, climbing, and laughter as the children made the most of the space before ending the day gathered around the fire circle, enjoying hot chocolate and biscuits together.

This Week
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles
As they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight While they were still staring into the sky where he had gone, suddenly two men in white were standing beside them, and they said, “Why are you men from Galilee standing here looking into the sky? Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven, this same Jesus will come back in the same way as you have seen him go there.”
Reflection
The Ascension of Jesus is not about absence, but presence transformed. Christ does not abandon his disciples; rather, he enters fully into the glory of the Father so that his saving presence may extend to all places and all times When Jesus ascends, he completes his earthly mission, but he entrusts its continuation to the Church The disciples are told not to remain gazing at the sky, but to return to Jerusalem and wait for the gift of the Holy Spirit The Ascension therefore marks a turning point: from being followers who watch, to disciples who are sent
Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ,
Lift our hearts beyond fear and doubt
Strengthen us to be your witnesses in the world, bringing hope where there is despair, truth where there is confusion, and love where it is most needed. Send us your Holy Spirit, that we may continue your mission with courage, and live each day with our eyes fixed on heaven and our hands ready to serve We ask this through Christ our Lord Amen.
