    We were invited to attend the launch of the Midlands Air Ambulance Education Initiative at Tatenhill Airfield. The children explored some of the resources in the education pack as well as meeting many of the staff involved in the charity as well as Lee Pearson 10 times Paralympic games gold medalist who is one of the charities ambassadors. The children were able to see some of the new state of the art equipment in the new training centre including a talking, breathing dummy for the crew to train and simulate real life medical emergencies on as well as explore the inside of an Air Ambulance.

  • Messy Easter 2016

    Published 07/04/16

    We had a beautiful Easter service which was a completely new approach for Needwood Church of England VA Primary which consisted of a journey through the Easter story in the form of messy church. It began with a service in the hall, singing worship and prayer and the children then processed to activities around Jesus  going to Jerusalem, Jesus at the temple, the Last Supper and the Garden of Gethsemane. The children then processed to church  singing,  ‘We have a King who rides a donkey’ and shouting ‘Hosanna!’ waving palm leaves. The rest of the service continued beautifully with readings, prayers, hymns and messy grace. Thank you to Mrs Simmonds for leading such an excellent and new style service.
