Monday's Assembly
Mrs McAloon and Mrs Burley led Monday's Mission Assembly which launched Children's Mental Health Week with the theme 'Let's Connect!'. This was about encouraging all of us to connect with others in a healthy and meaningful way. We began by reminding ourselves of the school ethos of 'Following the teaching and example of Jesus, we celebrate everybody, every day, creating a school family where we love, learn and grow.' The bible passage of Jesus and the Children was read by Mrs McAloon and this highlighted just how much Jesus loved children and how important they were in our world. We understood how Jesus had connected with children and this helped us to ask how we can connect in our world today and every day? We talked about who we have connections with and how these can be made and kept, and linked this to the connections we have made at school from playing sport, joining the Mini Vinnies, singing at Young Voices, to litter picking via the School Council to name but a few. We were shown the winning poster which Lexi in Junior 6 had created for Wellbeing Wednesday with two big W's within a rainbow heart. We concluded by using our fingers to say a finger prayer for the wider community and world.
