What a fabulous end to the half term!
The Hedgehogs led our Prayer and Liturgy today. We talked about the importance of being still during the season of Lent and challenged people to be still and take the time to stop and look at the good in the world. We asked that in those moments of stillness we take the chance to talk to God our Father without being distracted by the things around us.
Internet Safety Day
Internet Safety Day was filled with work about online safety. We discussed what to do if we felt uncomfortable or upset with something we had seen online and who our trusted adults are. The Hedgehogs showed a great understanding of what they would do and made some fabulous posters to display around the school.
