Prayer Day

St Mary's Church and Therapeutic Garden were the perfect setting for a day of Prayer, Reflection and Peace. Many thanks to Father David and our School Governors Kate Riches and Julia Pring, for supporting the event to ensure that everything ran smoothly. Each child in the school enjoyed 4 activities, planned and led by the Children's Faith Group. The 4 activities, which linked to our school values were:

Sorry Stones - children asked for Forgiveness for things we have done wrong, symbolised by pebbles
Love Flower Candles - children wrote prayers on flowers and drew special people, before decorating the flowers and choosing a candle to light the centre of their prayer
Musical Prayer - many thanks to Mr Stringfellow, School Governor, who led this outdoor prayer focusing on Respect and Faith
Peace Chain - children reflected on the value of Peace and then used writing and drawing to create a chain that stretched right acorss the Church
