On Monday, during our whole school worship we came together to think about peace, how the bible tells us to show peace and also how we can learn from the past to ensure we create a world of peace and not war. Olivia and Desmond beautifully read our Peacemaker Bible readings from this week's kindness kite whilst we made doves, a symbol of peace, from our hands being linked together. We thought about world Holocaust Memorial Day, which is today, and reflected on how during that time peace and forgiveness were not shown and how cruel and unfair that was. We prayed for all those who lost their lives during the Holocaust and also asked God to help us to be courageous peacemakers when we see cruelty and also to love our neighbours and treat everyone with kindness and respect. We lit a special candle of peace for all those who cruelly lost their lives during the Holocaust and were shocked to learn that if we held a moment of silence for each person then we would have to be silent for 11 and a half years. We then sang a song about living without division but together, 'As One'.
