The Advent Adventure in Whitehall Park
Mrs Govan, our Art Leader held an Art competition where children had to create images of the different parts of the Christmas story. Rev David, Lorraine and Mrs Ham put the 24 winners art work up in the Rose Garden in Whitehall Park and each class went on an Advent Adventure. The children had to find all of the pieces of Art and then discuss what each piece reminded them of such as a part of the story or a song. This led to some amazing spontaneous carol singing.
‘The Big Frieze’ Project
As a whole school, we watched ‘The Big Story’. Each class then took a different concept of the story and created their own interpretation of Emma Yarlett’s ‘The Big Frieze’ Bible timeline. In Worship, each class presented their concept to the rest of the school and the canvases were display in our school hall.
