This half term we are thinking about Courage
Courage is often about continuing to do what you would normally do even when faced with extraordinary situations. Many Christians believe that God asks us to offer our skills, talents and abilities in the face of adversity, and that he will use that courageousness to achieve great things. The word ‘courage’ comes from the Latin word ‘cor’ = heart.
‘Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.’ Joshua 1.9
We will be thinking about how to find courage when faced with challenging times. We will reflect on how sometimes this means stepping out of our comfort zone and standing up for what we believe is right. We will explore how being courageous means different things to different people.
We will learn about people who have shown courage and use Jesus as a model for being courageous.

Worship Leaders
We have a fantastic team of Worship Leaders who are responsible for developing the Collective Worship in our school and ensuring that all our pupils have a voice about worship.
Our Worship team is comprised of six children from years 4 – 6. During the last academic year, they introduced a volunteer system and ‘teaspoon prayers’, planned and led a collective worship and designed an outdoor prayer space. They meet every fortnight to discuss progress.
This is our school prayer which they created together.
Value Launch Days
Every term, we work with our church community to hold a ‘Value Launch Day’. Classes take it in turns to experience a carousel of prayer spaces and activities which explore our focus Christian values. We often hold these days in the church, the village hall and in the Parish Woods. These photos are a snapshot of some of our previous Value Launch Days:
