Across the school there were many different activities linked to the theme of HOPE. In Foundation stage they came up with a brilliant piece of art work, that really communicated the key concept that we have been considering this week. Namely that HOPE is something that we are all responsible for bringing to each other.
HOPE is in our hands,visually reinforces that key aspect of God's call to love our neighbour as ourselves. If we keep all that we have to ourselves, it will not benefit any one, but if we share and use what we have, then surely HOPE will arise.
In assembly we played a fun game that reinforced the idea of sharing HOPE around. Children suggested ways in which we could bring HOPE to each other, we wrote these ideas on balloons and then passed the balloons around the hall. The enjoyment and fun was evident instantly, and this again provided a real example of the impact that the sharing of HOPE can have.
As we close for half term, our final prayer was that God would use us to bring HOPE into other people's lives, either through our own actions of through the way in which God answers our prayers through the actions of others.
