Year 2: Liturgy

Posted on December 4, 2019 by Mr G Owen • 0 Comments

In year 2 today, children (liturgy group 3) decided that they wanted to do a liturgy on the theme of ‘happiness’.
In preparation, children selected the Advent wreath, a cross, and the bible and placed these special items on our prayer table. The children wanted relaxing music to play as children gathered in a circle on the carpet. After reading scripture and the response to the word, children were asked to sit in silence and think about what makes them happy. After the liturgy, children said that being with friends and family made them feel happy!
