Buzzard class led Collective Worship in our church as part of Mental Health Week, focusing on the theme of Belonging. The children confidently welcomed everyone and explained that belonging means feeling accepted, noticed and cared for. They shared ideas about how feeling included supports our mental health and wellbeing.

The pupils retold the Bible parable of The Lost Sheep (Luke 15:3–7) through a short drama, with some children dressed as sheep. The story showed how the shepherd notices when one sheep is missing and goes searching for it, reminding us that every individual matters and no one should feel forgotten.

The children linked the story to real life, explaining that sometimes people feel lonely or left out like the lost sheep, and that this can affect mental health. They also connected the message to British Values, highlighting Mutual Respect and Individual Liberty, showing that everyone deserves care, kindness and to be valued as an individual.

Pupils shared practical ways we can help others feel they belong, such as inviting someone to play, checking on those who seem lonely, listening and being kind. The worship ended with a quiet reflection and a prayer, encouraging everyone to look out for those who may need extra support.

It was a thoughtful, engaging and confident presentation that clearly showed our pupils’ understanding of belonging, kindness and community.

Our whole school came together during a series of collective worship sessions to write our new school prayer. It focusses on the importance of our school values. The children then illustrated our prayer to display in each of our reflective areas in the classrooms.

Our school community came together to listen and participate in our annual KS2 Carol Concert, held in our Church. Woodpecker class and Buzzard class sang beautifully, and the congregation joined in by singing well-known carols, which we used as inspiration for our Eco Art Competition entry at The Bishop's Palace earlier this month.
