What's in the news?
Every week, during our Wednesday collective Worship, we look at news stories from that particular week. The children are introduced to a topical question from the current news- locall, nationally or even globally! During the time of reflection, the children at Chester Blue Coat are asked to consider their own personal response to the questions posed.
Through the worship the children are exposed to a range of current issues including political, religious, cultural, environmental, social, moral and spiritual. Tolerance and respect are challenged through these discussions.
Questions posed already this term include:
Core Value- Hope
British Value-Individual Liberty
