Collective Worship

Our Christian Vision

Our school is a Safe, welcoming place where everyone, including the vulnerable, is valued, nurtured and encouraged. Enquiring minds grow a 'Love of learning'; become fluent readers; and appreciate the world, themselves and others. Our rich, creative curriculum provides time and space for the mind to grow and spirit to Flourish.

We are a Church of England school and we live out our Christian Vision in our everyday school life. We have a daily act of Collective Worship and Rev. Paul is a regular visitor to our school - leading collective worship (both in school and in church), as a governor, and as a friend.

Simile Poem - written by KS2 - At Harvest Time (an extract)

Leaves spin like a tornado,

And glide like a swooping vulture,

Then fall to the ground like a bird with an injured wing.

At Harvest time

Cobwebs as intricate as a painting by Turner,

Hang from threads, like diamond jewellery in a shop,

And blackberries, like pupils, grower bigger and blacker.

At Harvest time

Tractors as loud as a traffic jam,

Crunch through leaves that have fallen to the ground like ripped up paper,

With a sound like the bite of toffee apple.

At Harvest time

Thinking Globally about Development and Understanding About Deprivation

We have been inspired by our class text- Kick by Mitch Johnson. It is based in Indonesia. This has made us appriciate how lucky we are and what is happening around the world. We have researched the deprivation and exploitation of the natural world. We will be building on this through supporting another deprived area- Romania.

Our church is St. Michael the Archangel, Markington.

The children researched to find out more...

Y6 made a 'Rainbow of Hopes' for the Leaver's Service.

Rev Paul joined us at the annual Y6 Leavers Service in Ripon Cathedral

Traditionally, at Markington School, the Y6 get to toss a pancake on Shrove Tuesday.

We painted poppies on Remembrance Day

We learnt sign language to accompany our singing about Zaccheus

Class 1 drew pictures of their mothers and...

... Class 3 wrote poems 'In Praise of Mothers'. These were made into cards which were given to members of the church community on Mothering Sunday.

The Whole School participated in making our Bible Bookcase.

Everyone made a book...

When we learnt about a story, we added a note in the correct book of the Bible for our Bible Bookcase.

It was beautiful when the lights went out and it was so quiet.

It was really enjoyable when we played the games at the start of the service.

I thought it was really interesting learning about the story of Christingle.

It was really calming and peaceful with the candles lit and everyone was singing.

I thought it was fantastic when the younger chiledren asked me questions about Christingle.
