Today Mrs Church led our Collective Worship on the theme of ‘Home’. It started off with a bluetit nest found in the Fledglings garden. These birds persevered for weeks to build the nest using little twigs as well as bits of thread, wool and human hair found in the garden. Children reflected on how you make a house into a home, before watching the new animation from Aardman Studios called ‘Home’. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ3mOQaA5nE This is a very powerful film and children had a lot to say about it.
Jake: It got me thinking, it’s really hard to move, hard to be a circle when everyone is a triangle.
Indie: William the Conqueror brought a new language to this country, which is why French and English are quite similar sometimes. The triangle and the circle joining languages made me think about that.
Elodie: When the circle saw the picture she got sad because she had to leave her brother and dad behind.
Frankie: We need to make it easier for people to move when they are escaping danger.
Jack O: There was no one the same as the circle. But then he joined friends. He had lots of friends in the end.
Scarlett: It’s okay to be different.
