Following our whole school assembly celebration of World Religion Day, Year 2 children enjoyed focusing on the Hindu Creation story. They discussed the story, the characters and the similarities and differences between the Hindu creation story and the Christian creation story. Some of the children created dances to depict the story, some composed music o accompany the story and others created a collage of Vishnu and Brahma.
On Tuesday 15th November the Worship Council were delighted to meet Bishop John and give him a tour of our school.
Last week we welcomed the Open the book team bac k into our school for our collective worship sessions. With the help of some year 2 pupils they retold the story of ‘the road to Damascus’
We have been looking at the work of Welsh artist, Jeremy Thomas, and have produced our own work based on his theme, ‘The Human One’-As ‘Artist in Residence’ at St Mary’s Priory he has been working on a series of thirty oil paintings that illustrate the Life, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. We will post our work up here when it is finished for you to look at!
Yesterday we welcomed John Meredith back to our school to work with children in years 1,5 and 6. He worked with children on two activities; discussing religious values and ethics through art and creating a video depicting the Creation Story.
Mr and Mrs Watts have been busy preparing a tree to be displayed at St. Edward’s Church during the festive period.
Each class in school have created two baubles to decorate the tree. The baubles are linked to our School’s Core Christian Values and they are made using recyclable materials.
The children received their bibles and enjoyed a lovely farewell service, given by Rev. Petra and John Meredith, not forgetting ‘Bob’ the snail!
Well done to all children that entered the Worship Council’S Christmas Story competition. The winning stories were written by Hanna Agocs and Ellis Price!
