Beckermet C of E Primary School

Collective Worship

Collective worship is much valued feature of the school’s daily life at Beckermet Primary School. It is an invitational, joyful, reflective and thought provoking experience for everyone. Planning ensures that we think deeply about a range of Bible stories, festivals, global issues etc. all of which are underpinned by important Christian beliefs and values. The school worships both collectively and in primary phase groups on a daily basis. Our friends and families are invited weekly to join us in celebrating all our successes showing how we can all shine in many ways.

Worship happens both inside and outside of the classroom and dedicated times such as our prayer space day enhance the importance of how prayer can make a positive impact to one’s life. We also worship with the local community at special times of year in our local Church - St John's.

Pupils love singing, particularly action songs, acting out stories, answering interesting questions and they are highly appreciative of the contributions of local clergy and other visitors. The enjoy organising and delivering their class worship choosing music, reading reflecting on the big questions raised during worship.

Pupils gain a good understanding of the purpose of prayer, both through writing prayers and interacting with activities around school or in the grounds outside. Use of reflective spaces in classrooms and outdoor areas encourages pupils to reflect or pray.

Class reflection areas provide a space for children to be quiet and peaceful. They provide positive affirmations, challenge thoughts and feelings and incorporate prayer in many different ways. Our reflection spaces, always include a variety of Bibles and faith stories, artefacts and resources to support reflection and prayer.

Harvest Festival

We joined together in Church alongside Reverend Rachel to celebrate our Harvest Festival. Every child let their light shine during our celebration.

The children created a fantastic harvest celebration sharing their thoughts and prayers about the Harvest.

Reception class celebrated the harvest and gave thanks.

Year 1 and 2 shared how important the harvest is but sadly not everyone has a good harvest and we must share and care for each other during these challenging times.

Year 3 and 4 shared how others around the world celebrate the harvest and wrote psalms of thanks.

Year 5 and 6 talked about the impact of the harvest in our own country and in our own families.

Proverbs 3:27 says, ‘Whenever you possibly can, do good to those who need it.’

We can all make a positive difference to the people around us.

Our Father

Reverend Riley visited school today and she introduced us to Maximus the church mouse. She told us a story about Maximus and how he learned the Our Father prayer.

Reverend Riley then played a song on the accordion, and we joined with her to sing the prayer of the Our Father.
