Values
Autumn 2019 JOY
This term, we are exploring the joy of knowing God. We are learning to recognise the joy that he brings into our lives and how we can make others’ lives more joyful. Peter 1:8-9 “Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.”
Summer 2019 Respect
We are thinking about respect for ourselves, each other and the world around us in lots of different ways this term. We begin focusing on 'The Golden Rule' from Matthew 7.12 - 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.'
Justice and Humility
Spring Term 2019
This term we are thinking about justice and fairness and have created a prayer space in the school entrance.
The prayer space is entitled 'Cardboard Home'. We are encouraging the children to think and pray about children around the world who have no home.
Our focus on Humility ties in which our thoughts around Holy Week and Easter
Love and Compassion
For the first part of the Summer Term, we looked at Love and Compassion in collective worship. We talked about 'costly caring' and giving or ourselves to others in a variety of ways. Our main Bible reference was:
"Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." (Colossians 3.12).
Service
Linked to our bi-centenary, we are looking at Service to end the school year.
Peace and Hope
Our values for the Spring Term 2018 are Peace and Hope.
We have challenged the children to think of and design a symbol of 'Peace' which will accompany our new school prayer.
Friendship and Cooperation
Our main value for the second half of the autumn term, follows on from Koinonia and asks the children to consider; what a true friend is, how they can be a better friend, that if you want to have good friends you also have to be one, anti-bullying, kindness and working together as a school family.
Koinonia
We enjoyed exploring Koinonia in school recently. We thought about how:
· Everyone feels included, valued and important
· People support one another
· Everyone makes a contribution and gives of themselves
· School values have a positive impact on the local community and beyond
The YouTube video below is a lovely example of what we have been talking about in collective worship...
