Termly Values
This term, the Christian values are Justice, Peace and Perseverance
The memory verse is:
1Peter 3:11 “They must turn away from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it.”
The classes begin each term by discussing these values and completing some work linked to each for their class reflective corners. This term, we have children colouring pictures of members of the Justice League, designing their own superheroes to battle problems in the world today, investigating synonyms for peace, colouring in doves as a symbol of peace, writing recipes for peace and thinking about the hurdles they may face in their lives that they will have to persevere through.
Each term, the classes also write prayers that link to the termly values and things that are in the news at that moment. These prayers are placed in prayer pockets or on the Reflective Corner displays and are chosen from for end of the day prayers. Here are some examples of the prayers the children have written:
Dear God,
Please help us to keep going.
Please help us to persevere with thing swe find hard and never giving up.
In your name we pray these things.
Amen
God,
Let us have harmony and rest and sleep.
It's the end of the day, it's time to chill.
Amen
Dear Lord,
Please let our world be the best that it can be and don't let anyone change themselves because they are perfect the way they are.
Let peace roam around the world for everyone and forever.
Lete everyone be different but everyone get treated the same.
Amen
