Autumn 2 Compassion

Our value this half term is COMPASSION

Christians believe that their attitudes and actions must reflect the kindness, mercy and compassion of Jesus and the love of God for everyone.

In our Collective Worship, we are thinking about:

Different ways we show kindness and respect to one another.

How we can build links with charities for the homeless or those in need.

How people in our school community are nurtured supported in challenging and difficult times.

How we understand and empathise with members of the community who have suffered traumatic experiences, eg bereavement.

Let us love not just with our words but also with our actions and in truth.

John 3:18

Those who believe and do good deeds — the Gracious God will create love in their hearts.

(Al Qur’an 19:97)

St George's Carol Service

Some of our Year 6 children took part in our St George's carol singing service on Sunday. They sang beautifully and were a joy to watch.

Compassion Assembly 4

COP26 Service at Central Methodist Church, Hyde - led by the Ethos Group

The Ethos Group were truly inspirational in leading worship at the Methodist Church in Hyde on Sunday 26^th November. They were part of a campaign for the church to become an Eco church sharing some of the work we have been doing around COP 26 in school. The children acted out the story of the Good Samaritan to show how we have explored the value Compassion. They used the reading from Genesis to illustrate the importance of looking after God’s creation and explained how we, at St George’s, show our values thankfulness and compassion through collecting for the Food Bank and supporting Fairtrade. They wowed the congregation with their ‘Legacy’ song and finished with prayers and then asking the people to make their ‘pledges to the planet’. The children organised a Fairtrade stall to promote Fairtrade products which was really well supported.

Mrs Mather, Mrs McKeown and Mrs Hewitt were really proud of the children and the amazing way they presented Worship.

They were a credit to St George’s and Real ‘Agents for Change!’
