On Friday 2nd February we came together for Awe and Wonder Day. We had the opportunity to work with other children from across the school and reflected on our school values and the bible stories we link with them. Inspired by Chris Knott’s visit from Starfish Malawi, we spent the day exploring different methods of storytelling. For some of us, we really stepped out of our comfort zone to experiment with something new and had great fun doing it!<\/p>\n
To tell the story of Solomon asks for Wisdom, linked with our value of Wisdom, we worked with Mrs Briley, Mr Brett & Mrs Thompson to create comic strips. Using our own imagery alongside speech and thought bubbles really encouraged us to focus on how Solomon must have felt throughout.<\/p>\n
For our value of Love, we worked with Miss Howes to really hone in on our dramatic skills and acted out the story of The Good Samaritan. We had to use our value of Love throughout to be respectful and kind to one another, particularly when performing in front of one another as this was quite nerve wracking!<\/p>\n
Whilst pulling on our skills of speaking and staying positive, we created spoon puppets to tell The Story of Ruth to share our value of Strength. Working with Miss Goymer & Mrs Twinn, we got creative with mixed media to create the different characters in the story and shared how we thought strength is shown.<\/p>\n
Finally, for the value of Truth, we worked with Mrs Bastin, Miss Evans and Mrs Robinson to tell the story of The Annunciation. We used our skills of teamwork and creativity to shape characters out of plasticine to build our own stop motion films. We discussed how, although sometimes telling the truth can be hard, overall it is better to be honest.We are hoping to share some of our stories with Starfish Malawi soon!<\/p>\n
