At the start of each half term, each class holds a Spirituality Day within the first week of school.  We feel that this gives our school family a meaningful start to the half term and gives us the chance to remember that God is at the centre of all we do.

Spirituality is a chance for children to be still - to wonder - to appreciate - to question all the things that God has given them.  We approach this by transforming our Boardroom into a Spirituality Area where the children can visit in small groups and engage in a number of reflective and interactive activities.  

We also take time to explore and revisit our school vision and values and develop spiritual pathways for our children.  For example, you may see children engaged with Godly Play or interacting with the class prayer space.  Children may also be outdoors focusing on nature or spend time wondering about the Big Questions they have.

Other opportunities that the children engage with on Spirituality Days include:

• writing prayers;
• reading the Bible;
• exploring Christian values;
• having time to think, reflect and pray;
• plan class worship in groups;
• listening to worshipful/reflective music;
• organising reflection areas.

What have our children said about Spirituality Days?

Y3 child - I really liked the spirituality room because it was really relaxing and I got to be creative, reflect and we had to be silent in there because we could think about God. 

Y3 child - I liked the fizz activity, its kind of like science and RE joined in one. They are my favourite subjects. I liked creating the crown because I like being creative.

Y5 child - Spirituality Day was different and I enjoyed it a lot more than other spiritualty day, because we got to express our thoughts in a different way.

Y5 child - I thought it was a very relaxing and instead of being busy in other lessons, it gave me chance to zone out.

Y6 child - I felt at peace. 

Y6 child - I was mindful, whilst we were all peaceful and quiet.
