RE- Prayer and Liturgy

 

Prayer and Liturgy is an important part of our school day. We participate in whole-school liturgy, class liturgy and pupil-led liturgy. Our Year 6s have also run a prayer and liturgy club for the younger children during lunchtimes. Throughout our period of online learning, we continued to gather together in the virtual world to share the word of God and enjoy whole-school liturgy as a school community.

What a reflective prayer and liturgy we had in Class 2 this week. The focus was on 'A Home for all- Land' as part of the Season of Creation. The children thought about the importance of looking after the land, and how the God is similar to the rich soil which provides nutrients and allows plants to grow. God is spiritually nutritious for us. 

 

Class 2 Children thoroughly enjoyed their Class liturgy on Creation in our new Hideaway House! What a perfect location for reflecting on God's beautiful creation. (September 2021)

 

 

Class 3 enjoyed their prayer and liturgy session all about 'The Nativity of Our Lady'. We all like to have balloons cakes and candles on our birthday so they thought Mary deserved it too! (September 2021)

Year 6 plan and present a pupil-led liturgy every week. The children work very hard to use scripture and write prayers. We follow the 'Gather, Listen, Respond and Go Forth' structure to our liturgies; the Year 6 children are doing so well with their liturgies. We all thoroughly enjoy them.
