Spirituality Week: One World, Many Stories

We were delighted to hold our Spirituality Week from 9th to 13th June, with the theme ‘One World, Many Stories.’ The week was a wonderful opportunity for our children to explore inclusion, diversity and identity, focusing on belonging, understanding who we are and celebrating the idea that all brains are brilliant and different.

A true highlight of the week was welcoming parents and carers into school to share stories about their family heritage, culture and traditions. These visits brought our theme to life in a personal and powerful way and we are so grateful to everyone who gave their time to help our pupils learn more about the diverse world we share.

As part of the week, the children enjoyed yoga sessions to support their wellbeing and to help them develop tools for managing big feelings. These sessions provided a calm and reflective space for the children to connect with themselves and learn strategies they can use whenever they need them.

We also strengthened our link with Thigaa Primary School in Kenya, connecting with pupils and learning more about each other’s lives. We held a Sponsored Walk at Hayricks Park to raise funds for their school resources. Thank you to Mr Ellis for arranging the walk and for the volunteers who came to support the walk.

Throughout the week, children created ‘All About Me’ glass jars, reflecting on who they are, what matters to them, and what makes them unique. We also explored The Grand Hotel of Feelings by Lydia Brankovic, which supported rich discussions about emotional awareness and helped our pupils learn practical tools for managing feelings that can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Spirituality Week was a celebration of community, identity and connection, and we are so proud of the thoughtfulness and enthusiasm shown by all our pupils.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this week so special.
