Looking back and looking forward…
We’ve had a PACKED year of collective worship, anti-knife crime workshops, Easter and Christmas workshops, and after-school fun.
Fundraising has been taken up a notch and there are big plans for the future too.
SO, here is a gallery to summarise some of the last term and then read on to find out what’s coming next!
From lions to big fish, prophecies to dreams. Fun Club have continued through the Old Testament and are ending the term with the Fruits of the Spirit. Our fab group of kids have loved the donations of games and lego and cheer when we announce its craft time.
Our Year 2s will be moving up and out of Fun Club next year and so of course we have a graduation ceremony this afternoon and party bags for all to celebrate the end of term.
All of this was made possible by kind donations of resources and the time of two wonderful volunteers. Sadly they will be moving on as well next September and so we will be looking for new helpers to join the team. If this could be you, or someone you know, please get in touch!
The bread and butter of Spinnaker - Collective Worship!
This term has seen Jesus showing us God, rescuing, inviting, and building strong foundations for our lives.
We’ve played ‘find the moose’, ‘which biscuit is best?’, and ‘make the craziest excuse’. Sung about sheep and builders. Prayed for strong lives and loving those around us.
Can you imagine a better way to start your day?!
Operation Forgiveness
What to say about our anti-knife crime workshops? They have been powerful, moving, and the year 6s we’ve worked with have walked away with a comprehensive understanding of what carrying a knife could do. Thanks to LCM for the excellent training and members of Christ Church Purley Emily was in a team with.
So close!
Head to our GoFundMe to see how we’re inching closer and closer to our goal. if you can believe it we’re almost half way through summer which means not long left to smash that 2k target. As the sun has been playing hard to get, perhaps chuck what you would have spent on ice-cream and beach trips into this pot?
Next year we will be taking our assemblies…. BEYOND BELIEF
After the success of our It’s Jesus series, we have been typing away writing another brand new original assembly series. Beyond Belief is based all around school values - 39 of them! Each hub has collated the values of each of its schools and written collective worships around each one.
The first batch will be released soon and we can’t wait to bring them into schools new you.
Teachers - head to this link if you want to find out more and use the resources yourself!
Small change…
Whilst we are low on team at the moment we are making some adjustments to maintain our usual standard of excellence at a sustainable rate.
From September we will only be offering assemblies once a half term per school at a maximum. This is to ensure we can fit everyone in. For some of you this won’t change anything but some book us in monthly and so we would like you to note this change for next term. When our capacity grows again we will let you know and grow back to monthly for those who want it. Thanks for your continual invitations to work in your schools, it is a huge privilege.
That’s a wrap…
As always, thank you for all your support this year. Every invitation, donation, prayer, encouragement is all so appreciated.
We will see you next year for more!!!
