As a Church of England School our ethos based on Christian values is important to us. We have a three year rolling program of Values which are introduced through our Collective Worship program.
Each Value has a focus; this could be a relevant Bible theme, fiction story or focus on a famous person (living or dead).
Acts of Collective Worship include stories, songs/ hymns, prayer/ refection. They may use visitors, drama and visual stimuli such as artefacts or power point presentations. Children are encouraged to lead Collective Worship too.
We update parents and carers about the values through our regular newsletter about Collective Worship, Religious Education and Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Education. Here we update families about some of the content but we also give some key questions for families to consider together.
Please see Mrs Spencer should you have any questions regarding Collective Worship or the newsletters
RE Day
Tuesday 11th November 2014 was our Religious Education Day all about 'Peace'
Early Years Foundation Stage
The children in the Early Years thought about what Peace means to them. They also made a poppy from their handprints.
Year 1
The children in Year One thought about what Peace means and this led onto thinking about symbols of Peace. They learnt about rainbows and doves as special symbols. They worked together to make large rainbows
Year Two
Year Two the children had to think about all the questions they could about the poppy. They then had to try and answer each other questions.
The children then considered 'Peace'. They had to think what they and others can do to promote peace as well as famous peacemakers. They put all their ideas together to create a 'Peace Tree'
Year Three
In Year Three the children found out what they could about World War One and Armistice Day. They recorded some facts and made poppy wreaths.
Year Four
In Year Four the children thought about the deeper meaning of peace. They considered peace at home, at work, in our community and in the world. They wrote some of the words generated onto windmills to 'blow the peace around the world'.
Hall Displays
The hall displays created from the days work are very impressive. Please come into school to see them if you get the opportunity (before December when the Christmas displays will be going up!).
