Today Year 1 planned and delivered their own Collective Worship. The focus was about Mary saying yes to God.
The children read the story of when the Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and told her that she was to have a baby. We talked about how Mary felt when this message was delivered and how she said yes to God!
After a busy day, we ended the evening with a candle lit procession from the chapel to the auditorium for a peaceful reflection on how special and unique we all are. When we eventually returned to our chalets, we settled down to watch a film with our treats.
Today Year 2 planned an led a collective worship based on the theme ‘He is risen’. The children chose to include some images of the sunshine on the focal point because Jesus rose, just like the sun rises each day. In addition to this the children thought how the sunshine radiates warmth and light just like Jesus does everyday. During the liturgy the children were invited to collect a sunshine from the focal point and write on this how they try to radiate Jesus’ warmth and light in their everyday lives.
Today we started by looking and talking about the Stations of the Cross.
We then spent some time in our Prayer Garden and outdoor Chapel.
Year 2 planned and led their own collective worship on Thursday. The theme for the liturgy was Good Friday. The children thought carefully about how we would gather, what the scripture reading would be, how we would respond and what our mission would be.
It was a very thoughtful liturgy with the children reflecting on Jesus’ strength, bravery and forgiveness that he displayed in the lead up to his crucifixion.
