Wilburton CE Primary School
"I thought it was one of the best themes ever. The children really latched on to it, and it was so inclusive and inspiring. I found it very much so too! The resources were excellent, and the challenge was pitched very well. Thank you to everyone involved."
Petersfield Church of England (Aided) Primary School
"This year, the children presented their concluding responses to the challenge in a pupil led collective worship on Friday. School community members commented that the collective worship was highly memorable, impressive in how inclusive the worship was and how everyone listened to and reflected on each contribution."
Denver VC Primary
"Each child drew their head wearing a hat containing things that help them to live life in all its fullness. These were then displayed in a cup saying ‘Our Cup Runneth Full’. Our Lent Challenge cup was blessed by Rev. Moat in our Easter service at St Mary’s Church, Denver.
The children also were given a cup in which they added things that makes their lives full. These were added to the floor book in each class."
The Vine Inter-Church Primary School
"We had a wonderful range of learning produced and have displayed some of it in our office/ entrance."
