Bible Festival
Our Bible festival theme week ran from 1st-5th March 2021. This was the final week of remote learning during the partial school closure, but this did not stop the whole school community coming together. Members of the school community including Parents and Governors as well as the wider Parish of Uxbridge, recorded and shared over twenty Bible story videos for the children to watch and enjoy over the week. Some of the activities that the children participated in included:
- Bible Story videos
- Clergy Zoom sessions
- Designing and making banners showing the core theological concepts
- Godly play
- Writing and reading activities linked to Bible stories
- Linked collective worship sessions with the clergy across the week
- Craft activities
The children thoroughly enjoyed the week whether they were in school or learning from home. Here are some of the comments from pupils:
