Sikh people care for our world

Jubilee Year Celebration day

Today we marked the end of the church’s Jubilee Year with a day of celebration and reflection. We started the day reviewing what we had done all year to promote the Jubilee’s message of Hope. The whole school was decorated with balloons and streamers in the Jubilee colours and we all wrote postcards with messages of Hope to share with our families. Our lovely cook even made cupcakes for us to take home. We ended the day with a Celebration of the Word, with our Faith ambassadors taking a leading role.What a day!

Jubilee Celebration Day Y6

Y6 really enjoyed celebrating everything they have achieved this jubilee year. We remembered our pilgrimages of hope; wore our house colours to reflect the jubilee badge and created bunting and postcards. We even finished the day off with yummy cupcakes!
