Today the Worship Committee delivered a Collective Worship session to celebrate all that is wonderful in our world.  They shared things that they felt were wonderful including nature, animals and their families and then invited the whole school to join in with drawing something that we all think is wonderful.

We had a few technical difficulties but enjoyed sharing these special thoughts together. 

Worship Committee - Collective Worship Wednesday 16th October 2024

This week our theme is Courage.  We led a discussion about the meaning of courage and how we can demonstrate it in our lives.  Then we introduced the school to a tricky obstacle course and challenged volunteers to be guided over the course - wearing a blindfold!  

Mrs Baish was one of our brave and courageous volunteers.  She was a bit wobbly but completed the course successfully!

Wednesday 2nd October 2024.  National Younger Leadership Group News!

We have some very exciting news!  We are going to be taking part in the 2024-2025 National Younger Leadership Group Awards this year.  This is an opportunity for us to become leaders who can use our voice to engage with key issues that matter to us.  We will be connecting with other schools to share ideas and learn from each other.  The main aim of this project is to help shape the strategic development of the Church of England's Education office and wider church.  We will be sharing each of these sessions with you through our blogs so watch this space!

Wednesday 25th September 2024.  Our Work in the Community

This week our Worship Committee spent time planning a litter picking, weeding and general tidying session for the whole school. 

We all met in the hall for an introduction and to open our Worship session.  Then our members organised small groups to carry out this act of service in our school.  Several children commented on how much they enjoyed taking part in this task as a community.

Our 2024-2025 New Worship Committee.

It is really exciting that so many members of our wonderful pupils have volunteered to be part of our Worship Committee this year.  They are really excited about supporting the vision and ethos of the school and are keen to start planning for the delivery of Collective Worship sessions.  We have met to discuss and decide our main aims for this year so please see these documented on our main Collective Worship page.  You will be able to spot our members around the school by the badge they wear which, new for this year, is a Holy Cross.

Collective Worship.  Tuesday 5th March 2024

Today our Collective Worship Committee talked to the whole school about our Prayer Space.  They had worked very hard to produce an informative and interesting assembly and made sure we all know which days and times we can use the Prayer Space.  There are going to be quizzes and challenges for us to think about and we got some great tips about how to write prayers if we would like to.

Thank you from all of us to the Collective Worship Committee.

For their first task of the year, the Worship Committee have started to revamp our worship space in school.  They will be setting different tasks and challenges each year for the school community to take part in. Watch this space!

This week the Collective Worship Committee produced and delivered an assembly about love. The story we told in this assembly was about Naomi and Ruth and their friendship and love. Love is one of our four school Christian values. We asked questions such as ‘Have you shown any Christian values today?’ and ‘Do you know anyone like Naomi and Ruth?’ and just like every assembly we lit our candle that shows God is with us wherever we go.

This week we did an assembly on hopes and dreams. We gave each pupil a paper feather to write their hopes and dreams on. We have now started to staple the feathers in the shape of angel wings. Our goal for this is that whenever somebody is feeling sad or lonely they can go and look at the board or stand in front of it and have the hopes and dreams of all the people in Brington School surrounding them and comforting them. 

We started with white feathers then went a light blue shade of feathers and hopefully on Monday the 20th we will finish the wings with grey feathers at the bottom. We are grateful to everyone for helping us do this wonderful display and hope that all the people in the school will like it.

In eagles class in our RE topic we are doing learning related to Jesus’s death like, the events in the Holy Week-Easter, Why did Jesus die? And the Communion celebration.

This coming summer we are going to be doing a lot of assemblies so we will keep you updated. And we will be doing some prayers related to mothers day as that is coming up.   Written by the Worship Committee

Wednesday 18th January 2023.  

This week on Wednesday, the RE council are hosted some fun teamwork building games for the different houses of our school (St John, St Matthew, St Mark and St Luke.) We took a house per pair and hope both Ks1 and Ks2 enjoyed the games we set out for them instead of having an assembly for 15 to 20 minutes on that day.   We assembled our game at lunch/silent reading time.

St Matthew played two games called hula-hoop pass and the other game was cross the river. St Luke played the tagging hot dog game and pass the ball (under and over race.) St Mark completed a treasure hunt with riddles to solve and find.  Finally St John played an extended game of traffic cops on the field.

We are also hoping to input new ideas on how our school does collective worship and how we could make it more enjoyable and do different kinds of prayers and showing our Christian Ethos values (Service, Courage, Love and Forgiveness.) In the Summer Term, we are also thinking about giving the prayer space a make over with paint-and pva glue on top of the new coat this time-as the paint is peeling off from the bricks due to the cold and damp weather we have been having recently.

Every Friday two of our team members read two prayers in Celebration Assembly that the pupils have written, while some are private, some are public and these we read in assemblies. We are considering asking groups of children each week to create a prayer about a certain thing they are grateful for or wish to share with others.

In December Ks1 and Ks2 went to the Brington Church. We all sang songs and Ks1 did a small show along with the Worship Committee doing some readings helped by some other pupils in Year Six along with Year 2 making Christingles. Some of the songs we sang were: The Christingle song, Luly Lula and Away In A Manger. We also had some ringers from Catworth in to ring at the start of our service.

Today we met the school Governors. We created a presentation which explained what our Christian Values are and how they link to Saints and the Bible. We were able to answer their questions and they were all very nice!

Prayer Space Collective Worship  -  Wednesday 28th September 2022

Today we planned and delivered a collective worship session about how to use our prayer space including how to be respectful in the space and what to do with our private and public prayers.

Next we are going to paint the different bricks in the space so all of the children  know how to use the different areas.

We had a very busy day today.  First we spent time choosing from the lovely selection of graces written in our house groups yesterday.  These will be displayed around the school for everyone to use before lunchtime.

At the end of the day we had a planning meeting with Mrs Howe and Mrs Kennedy where we allocated our four Christian Values to prepare for our presentation to the governors later this month.
