The children enjoyed some quiet prayer and reflection time opportunities this week through four creative spaces. In each station, the children were welcomed by a volunteer from St Mary's Church and through playdough, sand, two bubble tubes and a large world map, the children were invited to respond in any way that they chose: space to think, draw, write a prayer or record their thoughts. A huge thank you to BeSpace Oxford for the very kind loan of all the resources and to Margaret and her team of volunteers who made this a special space for all the children.
Each class enjoyed a dance and drama workshop by West End in Schools Theatre Company to help them learn more about the occasion of a monarch's coronation in preparation for the crowning of King Charles 111. The children had the opportunity to learn something of the ceremony and what's involved through a sound and visuals presentation that took the children back through history to the Coronation of previous monarchs.
Class teachers enjoyed reading a selection of bedtime stories to their classes while the PTA provided hot chocolate and a biscuit for the children and light refreshments for the parents in the hall.
