Reflection Areas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year Big Fish group have been setting up reflection areas outside for all children, staff and parents to access. They have created a lovely seating area for reflection in the Forest church as well as a Teaspoon Prayer Tree. On the yard there is a Dream and Hope Catcher as well as a pop-up reflection area in the gazebo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poppy, Year 6: \u201cWe have enjoyed setting up the prayer spaces and watching children use them. Early Years love to sit under the Teaspoon Prayer Tree and talk about why they have tied a ribbon on the tree.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In school Big Fish group are responsible for changing the colours of the cloth depending on the time in the liturgical calendar. We also have a small prayer tree in school where pupils can write on who they would like people in our school to pray for, this is done in Pupil voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elizabeth, Year 5: \u201cTraining to be a young leader has made me think about being a better neighbour. My sister and I have been trying to think about how we can help our village. That is why we decided to do a litter pick.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pupil Voice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big Fish members lead Pupil Voice collective worship on our school values: Friendship and Trust, Compassion, Thankfulness and Service. This involves looking for relevant Bible stories and prayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trinity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our meetings Big Fish group have been learning about the Holy Trinity. We looked at how Christians believe that God is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We made a display board of our work so others understand can learn about the Holy Trinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
