Spirituality Day
Spirituality Day – Friday 5th September
Today, Year 1 and Year 2 took part in Spirituality Day. Mrs Reynolds began the day with a collective worship where she asked the children to look at different images and think about how they made them feel - calm, excited, scared - and that everyone is spiritually different. Children talked about what spirituality means and how it is different for each of us.
The idea of Windows, Mirrors and Doors was introduced to the children:
- Windows - appreciating the world around us
- Mirrors - reflecting and thinking about ourselves and our experiences
- Doors - thinking about others and how they feel
The rest of the day was spent on activities which allowed children to explore spirituality and what it means. There was focus time spent thinking about others and exploring the Wild World, appreciating the wonder of nature. Children also added decorations to the outside Reflection area. You can see some photos here.
We hope that they have gained an understanding of their own spirituality and can recognise that it exists in everyone.
