Today, our year 1 class were very fortunate to have the pleasure of Becky Guynn coming in to run a workshop about the Christian faith.

She started by sharing a song to welcome everyone to the session and then we shared the story of how God made the earth and the children joined in with actions. The children especially enjoyed acting out as all the different animals that God had made.

She explained to the children that we are all made in God’s image and the children got to make handheld mirrors. The mirrors were golden to reflect that they are special and important because God made them.

After we completed the mirror activity all the children came together to share a special prayer and song to help spread peace into our lives. 

The children really enjoyed this interactive and engaging session to learn more about Christianity and bible stories. 

On Monday 11th November, the whole school walked down to the church to remember those people who fought in wars. We were very lucky to be joined by Rev. Anne who led us in our service. We sung the songs 'Refuge', 'Peace' and 'You Are My Brother'. Finley, Bobi and Amber all performed poems and prayers beautifully and when we had our minutes silence the whole school demonstrated their value of peace and you could not hear a sound. 

Each class created their own poppy wreath and you can see them in the pictures above.  

Today we were visited by part of the Vision 2050 team from Central Bedfordshire. The children were
all very excited to see a giant frog as they arrived into worship. We then talked about what our hopes and dreams were for Bedfordshire by 2050. We talked about lots of different topics including housing, transport and robots! Each child was then asked to share their ideas in the form of postcards. Some representatives of the school and Eco councils then met with the vision team to share their priorities for the future.
