In singing assemblies this half-term, we have all been learning ‘My Lighthouse’ by the Rend Collective.

Grebes recorded their own version on ukulele and piano/keyboard… with some help from the whole school at the end!

In my wrestling and in my doubts
In my failures You won’t walk out
Your great love will lead me through
You are the peace in my troubled sea, oh oh
You are the peace in my troubled sea

In the silence, You won’t let go
In the questions, Your truth will hold
Your great love will lead me through
You are the peace in my troubled sea, oh oh
You are the peace in my troubled sea

My Lighthouse, my lighthouse
Shining in the darkness, I will follow You
My Lighthouse, my lighthouse (oh oh)
I will trust the promise,
You will carry me safe to shore (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Safe to shore (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Safe to shore (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Safe to shore

I won’t fear what tomorrow brings
With each morning I’ll rise and sing
My God’s love will lead me through
You are the peace in my troubled sea, oh oh
You are the peace in my troubled sea, oh oh

You are my light
My Lighthouse, my lighthouse (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Shining in the darkness, I will follow You (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
My Lighthouse, my lighthouse (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I will trust the promise,
You will carry me safe to shore (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Safe to shore (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Safe to shore (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Safe to shore

Fire before us, You’re the brightest
You will lead us through the storms

Fire before us, You’re the brightest
You will lead us through the storms

Fire before us, You’re the brightest
You will lead us through the storms

Fire before us, You’re the brightest
You will lead us through the storms

My Lighthouse, my lighthouse (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Shining in the darkness, I will follow You (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
My Lighthouse, my lighthouse (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I will trust the promise,
You will carry me safe to shore (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Safe to shore (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Safe to shore (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Safe to shore

After finishing second last time, our Year 3 & 4 Girls’ football team returned to the Nest to compete in the  ‘Championship’, the second tier in the competition, playing matches against Firside Junior, Hillside Primary and Woodlands Primary. After winning all three matches, the girls finished top of the Championship and will be playing in the Premier League next time we meet in June! Amazing work!

This week Year 4 and 5 enjoyed time outside in the chilly but sunny afternoon, starting with a dandelion count as we walked the length of the football pitch which will be repeated next week to see how many more will be visible. Different groups spent time painting dandelions, fire-lighting using a ‘dragon’s breath’ and den-building. They worked well in teams and it was fantastic to see children teaming up with new people they don’t normally work with.
