Collective Worship

Today, four children from Year 2 took on the special responsibility of planning their own Celebration of the Word, which they will lead for their classmates next week. Their Scripture focus was Jesus’ commandment, “Love one another.” Using the Let’s Pray Together cards, the children worked thoughtfully and collaboratively to plan a meaningful time of prayer and reflection for their class. It was wonderful to see them growing in confidence as they took ownership of their faith

We were so proud of the reverence, confidence and thoughtfulness Year 6 showed as they l

Children from year 3 planned and led a beautiful class worship based on John 13:34-35, ‘Love One Another’. They asked classmates to consider the ways in which they can show love to their friends, families and neighbours and make a promise with God to try and carry this out. This was symbolised with a ‘promise knot’ they tied gently around their fingers to encourage them to complete this part of their mission going forward.

Year 3 spent their creative prayer time thinking about how we can ‘participate more’ and be inspired by Patariki the penguin, our Catholic Social Teaching Mascot for this month. We thought about the ways we can use our gifts and talents to become active participants of our faith and care for the gift of God’s creation.

A group of Year 5 children led a beautiful Celebration of the Word this morning, which they had planned themselves around the story of Creation.

During their class-led worship today, Year 4 reflected on St Paul’s message and were reminded of the importance of showing love and kindness to others. The children thought carefully about how they can live out this message through their words and actions each day, following Jesus’ example in all that they do.

Year 1 enjoyed a peaceful guided meditation as they reflected on the wonder of God’s creation. They took time to look at the world around them and think about all the beautiful and wonderful things God has created. Inspired by their reflections, the children created some beautiful Creation artwork before working together to make their very own Class Creation Creed, sharing what they believe about God as Creator.

Year 1 led their very first class worship today! The group carefully planned a beautiful Celebration of the Word based around Genesis 1:1–4. They created a calm and reflective time for the whole class to come together in prayer, listen to God’s Word and think about the wonder of His creation. A wonderful first experience of leading worship together.

Year 1 explored the Our Father in their RE lesson, thinking carefully about the words used in this special prayer and what they mean. The children then practised saying the prayer together before creating their own beautiful prayer cards to help them remember and use the Our Father in their own prayer time.
