Harvest Celebration Service
Wed 02 Oct 2024We met today for our school harvest festival, to give thanks for all the wonderful things we have, recognising how lucky we are. The infants began by sharing collages and paintings they had made of their favourite foods. Junior 1 sung 'Conkers', a song about autumn as a celebration of harvest and Junior 2 shared some harvest facts from around the world. A big thank you to all our parents who so generously donated food items for the Friary, a local charity that helps homeless, long term unemployed and vulnerable adults.

Fri 19 Jul 2024Today our whole school thought about what spirituality means to us. We used the imagery of a window, door, mirror and candle to help us understand it better and all of our children took part in a range of spiritual activities including:
* clearing our gardening area to create a reflection garden in the autumn
* making peace malas - bracelets to help us think about unity
* Designing a peace garden
* self portraits to help us reflect on our own talents and abilities
All the children really engaged in the activities and It was a wonderful, calming and thoughtful day.
