Worship Council

Our worship council consists of children from every class across KS1 and KS2. Orla, Tommy, Sam, Olivia, Poppy, Harlow, Millie and Kyron.  They meet once every half term to help develop worship across the school.  They also support daily with collective worship.

Sendings

As part of our class worship, children were invited to write their own sendings to be used in collective worship.

Milne

Please help use to be kind, polite and thoughtful to others - like Jesus was.

Help us to treat others how we would like to be treated and to be respectful and responsible.

Zephaniah

Dear heavenly father, as we leave this space today, we will think about our actions and how they affect others around us. Always remember, that in your darkest moments, God’s light will always be with you as a reminder of peace and harmony.  

Amen. 

Dickens

Be kind, be respectful, make God proud.

As we leave this space, let God encircle you in Light - Seb.

Let the Lord and the light shine upon you. Amen - Joseph.

Shine bright in your actions and words.

Harvest Festival 2023

As part of our worship at the Christian time of Harvest we collected food for the local community.  Our families of The Nethersole were very generous and donated a significant amount of food to the Tamworth Foodbank.  Thank you to everyone who supported.  We enjoyed a collective worship in church, led by Father Phillip.

Remembrance 2023

The worship council visited Polesworth Abbey to lay a wreath on behalf of all the children and staff at The Nethersole.  Father Phillip taught them all about the war memorial and shared some of the stories from families from the local community who served in either WW1 or WW2.  

Bringing the school community together.

Zephaniah class and Bond class came together for an afternoon to design and make Christmas cards together as part of our value community.  The cards were to give to the resident of Linden Lodge, who were invited to watch reception's nativity play.  All the children really enjoyed their afternoon and loved spreading kindness to the local community.

Christmas 2023

Christmas 2023 was memorable at The Nethersole.   Reception visited the Abbey to take part in the baby Jesus ceremony.  Reception class were very busy, they then performed their nativity to their families and members of the local community - residents from Linden Lodge.  The whole school came together and gave three amazing performances of Children around the World.  They learnt about how different children celebrate Christmas around the world whilst not forgetting the true meaning of Christmas.  We then shared a collective worship at the Abbey with Father Phillip where Mrs Goode had to build a stable!

In class worship each class was asked to write their own hand prayer.

Dickens Class

Dear God,

I pray for my friends, help me to be a good friend to them by showing respect and being kind.

I pray for my teachers and parents. Give them the wisdom to show me how to live my life in the right way.

I pray for the leaders of the world. Help them to make the right decisions so that they can use their power to make the world a better place.

I pray for those that are ill and those that are suffering. Strengthen and support them in their times of need.

Lastly, I pray for myself. Help me to reflect on my journey through life so far and give me the motivation to become a better person each day.

Amen.

Zephaniah Class

Give those in need the resources to survive and shine a hopeful light on them every day.

And forgive me for any wrong doings and protection from the darkness in the world.

Loose change challenge for Dordon Angels

In February 2024 we supported a local charity - Dordon Angels.  Each class collected as much loose change as they could in a 2 week period.  We then created a coin trail to see how far long we could make it - it nearly went 2 times around the playground - a whopping 192 metres.  In total we raised £395.13.  The children loved the challenge,, enjoyed giving back to a local charity and said it was the best day ever making the coin trail.

Reading Cafe

Mother's Day

Thank you so much to all of the parents, carers and grandparents that attended one of our 'Reading Cafe' sessions last week. We were delighted to see how well attended the sessions were. The children really enjoyed the opportunity to share a book with someone special to them. A huge thank you to NASA for providing the refreshments and for helping to organise and run the sessions.

Dave the Bee Man

On Tuesday afternoon, we had a very special visit from 'Dave the Bee Man'. Dave has very kindly made a 'Bee Hotel' for our school. He talked to the children about bees and why they are so important. He was extremely knowledgeable on the topic and the children really enjoyed listening to him.
