In Wild Worship today, Reverend Rosie read "The Garden, the Curtain and the Cross" to Victorians. It is a beautiful story starting from the garden where the people were happy to live with God, through many, many years of sadness when they did not want Him to be in charge, to the cross where the people could live happily with Jesus again. The children then had a wonderful time making scenes from the book using twigs, leaves, flowers and blossom that they found on the field. A big thank you to Reverend Rosie for introducing us to this book. 

It was lovely to see so many children in their Brownie, Squirrel, Cubs etc uniforms as we celebrated St. George’s Day. The children learnt about the story of St. George and how his bravery slayed the dragon. We spoke about the message of how we can be brave by not following the crowd when we know that something is wrong or by doing things that make the world a better place. Even if our deeds are not seen, we can know in our hearts that it was the right thing to do. In the story, the children heard how George helped even though he didn’t know who he was helping; he didn’t say, “Why should I?” The children thought about maybe next time something needs doing, the children could say “Why shouldn’t I?” rather than “Why should I?”

At the end of last term, Leeds House had accumulated the most house points over the term. The Harcourt Trophy was awarded to the Leeds House Captains, who received the trophy on behalf of their whole team.
