Another amazing day exploring all PGL has to offer.

To celebrate the coronation of our new monarch King Charles III, we created a host of Collective Worships learning about his life, his royal status and the coronation day itself. Please find below our series on the Coronation of King Charles III: We learnt a special song as part of our celebrations, watch the video below to hear our children sing for the new King.

In reflection of the recent events, we held a special Collective Worship in remembrance of our Queen Elizabeth II. We listened to the song 'The Lord is my Shepherd' on entry to our time together which was sang in Westminster Abbey during her funeral. Reverend Carol talked to the children about the reading from John 14 and what this reading meant for the Queen in terms of Heaven. We watched parts of the funeral service and talked about how she represented our school values in her life. At the end of our school family time together we watched and sang 'God Save The King' to show respect for our new King Charles III. We spent some time talking about the important items on the Queen's coffin (the sceptre, orb and crown) and how these will now be passed onto the new King as the tradition has dictated for many decades at his Coronation.

Following on from the Y4 Salvation unit learning about the Last Supper and Y5 Salvation learning about Holy Communion in Church, we invited Reverend Carol to come into school and host a full Eucharist Service. We wanted the children to gain an experience of the service however due to current restrictions it would have been hard to all visit the church. The children who have taken their Holy Communion through their own church were invited to accept the Holy Sacrement of Jesus' body and blood. All of the children were invited to accept a blessing from Reverend Carol if they wanted, many of the children took that opportunity. The children helped to lead the prayers and they shared some beautiful words with the group, remembering to say thank you, to ask for help and forgiveness. In reflection of the service, the children were asked what they enjoyed the most, their responses were amazing: Aoife - "I feel I am corrected with God" JD - "It made me feel that God will protect me through the day" Charlie - "It made me feel safe after it" Evan - "I liked the blessing because I have never had one before" Harry - "It made me feel protected" Erika - "I felt it was very calming" Chris - "I enjoyed it because it gave us chance to repent our sins" Olek - "I felt I was part of God's relationship" Tino - "I enjoyed the fact it was like a real church service and I received the blood and body of Christ" Navsaaz - "It felt reassuring" Following this session, one little boy decided he felt he was ready to take his own Holy Communion and on the Sunday he was welcomed into St Michael's Church.
