A Cup of Kindness

Our Children's Chaplains planned a wonderful workshop so that  children at Altrincham could apply what they had been learning about 'Koinonia' and  'Empathy'.  This was a perfect 'door' opportunity and an activity with spiritually developed everyone involved to 'think of others'.

The children took cellophane cones and filled them with hot chocolate powder, topping them with chocolate chips and marshmallows.  Next, they took a tag and wrote some kind words onto it.  Using some ribbon the cone was tied and the tag was attached.  

The children could then choose someone they know to donate their cup of kindness to.  This might be a family member, a friend or a neighbour and was the perfect way just to say, "I am thinking of you."

Remembrance Day 

The Children's Chaplains wanted to encourage the staff and children to remember the sacrifices that people in the armed services made in the past and continue to make today.  They planned a poppy making activity and used a prayer that they found on the Church of England's website to help with reflection.

This is the prayer they used: 

Vision: At Altrincham CE Primary, we are rooted in the love of Christ, nurturing each pupil’s unique gifts and potential. Together, we grow strong in faith and character, bearing fruit in our community as we learn, support one another, and blossom into the best version of ourselves. #Growstrongandbearfruit
