Year 2 have been learning about Advent. They know it is the time the Christians prepare for the coming of Jesus at Christmas. We lit the first candle on our wreath which symbolises hope. The children passed a small wreath around the circle and they said a short prayer of hope.
Today, Year 5 went to the outdor chapel where they planned and delivered a collective worship based on the theme of being generous.
Year 3 have created their own Jesse Tree. As part of our liturgy, the children added the next symbol to the tree and enjoyed a scripture reading about Abraham.
This week the children thought about Jesus as our king. Despite being our king, they knew Jesus never had a palace, robes, jewels or a golden crown – only the crown of thorns given to him by the soldiers. The children thought about why Jesus is our king. They thanked Jesus for the things he has shown them or helped them to achieve – honesty, courage, kindness, compassion, consideration etc.
The whole school came together in Liturgy to celebrate Youth Friday. The Youth Friday theme was ‘You were born significant’ we discussed how each one us is important and how we should use our gifts to help others.
