Collective Worship
Collective worship – Roots and Fruits
We use Roots and Fruits for our collective worship.
Roots and Fruits provides creative collective worship for primary schools based in Christian values themes over a period of two years. Rooted in Bible teaching, twelve Christian values represent the fruit that grows as the teaching is lived out in everyday life.
The value for the Autumn Term 1 is Generosity
and Autumn Term 2 is Compassion

Jesus help my eyes to see, all the good you send for me.

Jesus help my hands to do, all things loving, kind and true.
Amen
