Leading worship - Collective Worship Committee
This week, as the Collective Worship, we planned and led worship focused on our current value COURAGE. We are responsible for monitoring and evaluating worship throughout the week and used this opportunity to reflect what we have been learning this term. We carefully chose hymns that inspired courage and created our own prayers to help everyone think more deeply about what it means to be brave in everyday life. Through our messages, we shared examples of courage we have learned about and encouraged the school community to show courage in their choices, faith and actions.

HEROES DISCO
The children had an absolute blast at the heroes disco! Dressed up as their favorite heroes they filled the dance floor with laughter and wild moves. The DJ played energetic tunes, and the children showed off their best dance moves, from superhero poses to cool break-dancing spins.
There were flashing lights, foam, bubbles and by the end of the night, they were tired but thrilled, carrying home memories of a night where everyone felt like a hero!
Thank you to the staff for giving up their own time to make this happen.

Helping others in Lent
During Lent, which runs from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, we are reminded once again to ask, ‘What can we do for to help others?’
Our children decided that our Lent charity this year would be Dementia UK. Many of our children, at Christmas, were involved in the ‘Dementia Friendly Todmorden’ event at St. Mary’s and many also sang at our local care home, Asquith Hall. These events touched many children’s hearts and they decided they would like to give more.
The children planned and ran class charity events all the way through Lent. These events included a chocolate and teddy tombola, a sponsored walk, bounce and climb, a loose change challenge, a bake sale and other events.
We raised an amazing £4,113.84 for Dementia UK!
