Collective Worship Council led the school in our Harvest Collective Worship today (21^st October). We sang two of our favourite harvest hymns, Harvest samba and Conkers.

They talked about how Christians mark this time of year with a harvest festival to thank God for all the crops being safely gathered in. They spoke about the earths gifts, food we eat, water, warmth and light to grow, harvest of the sea and the soil.

They read part of Psalm 104 that talked of God’s creation.

They then read a second bible verse that spoke about never being hungry if they believe in Jesus as he is the bread of life. They told us about how many children in the UK and around the world don’t have enough food to eat and that more than 700 million people in the world are hungry.

We talked about best before dates on food and that Jesus love doesn’t go out of date/

Mrs Nicholls spoke about what Jesus would have in his lunchbox based on the bible verse and our values. The children came up with some great ideas about what we might find, love, hope, respect, friendship, perseverance, generosity and courage (Our School Values). She said that if we are filled with this qualities/values we become people who take action in the world. By donating the food that the children have we have n]made a start changing things for people.

The children brought food in for the Spalding Food bank.
