Dear God,
Thank you for love.
Thank you for how good it is to have people who love us, and people whom we can love.
Thank you that your heart is full of love for us and for all those we love.
Amen.
We looked at the story "Guess How Much I Love You" by Sam McBratney to help us reflect on unconditional love.
WB 16.11.20 - To continue our learning about love for others and the world, we have celebrated anti-bullying week as a whole school.
You can watch the virtual assembly below. We also had an "odd socks day" where children came to school in mis-matched socks to show solidarity against bullying. We also worked as a school to create our own anti-bullying pollicy!
WB 26.10.20 - Year 2 have been looking at bread as a symbol of harvest. We made and decorated our own harvest loaves in class. We thought about what the bread might symbolise for us and what we are grateful for.
WB 12.10.20 - Rev. Simon from St. Mary's Church led us in a whole school harvest festival celebration over Zoom. It was wonderful to reflect together on the importance of the seasons and how God provides for us.
WB 05.10.20 - We have been thinking about how wonderful it is to be a unique and special person in God's world. We collected leaves and realised that no leaf is identical - they are all different. ‘Father God, we thank you for all the children represented by these leaves. Thank you for their individual personalities and talents and for all the qualities that make them unique. Please bless each one of them and help them to achieve their potential in life. Amen
This has helped us to think about our harvest celebrations and the love we have for God's world.
WB 14.09.20 - We have been thinking about love for ourselves. This week we have been looking at sunflowers as a symbol of strength and resilience. We thought about times when we have had to be strong and how God can help us to feel supported. We created our own images of sunflowers.
Lord, help us to turn our hearts towards you. Guide our steps and be our wall of strength so we can lean against you as we grow. Help us to listen carefully, think about our words and actions and comfort each other when we need help. Help us to appreciate everyone we meet and learn from those you send our way.
Amen
