Assemblies, celebrations & special messages
Spring 2021 - Our values this term are Hope and Faith
Assemblies are an opportunity to explore our school values. We might also discuss local, national or international events. We usually have a range of approaches across the week; with COVID restrictions, styles currently include class or year group assemblies, pre-recorded or whole school celebrations on Zoom.
Assemblies include an act of collective worship - children are invited to pray, never told to do so - or there might be a thought of the day or a moment of reflection. This is a moment of calm and peace, time to consider the ideas explored and how we might use those ideas in our own life.
DURING COVID TIMES
At this time, when children are at home due to lockdown, we will publish a weekly pre-recorded assembly for them to enjoy, so they continue to feel part of school life. Assemblies are always a focus for discussion so do watch along with your child so you can chat afterwards; if you can't watch along, ask them to summarise their main thoughts about the ideas explored to you later.
