On Friday Year One and Year Four shared in a prayer service together to end the half term. Our focus was the Holy Rosary. Year Four guided Year One through this special prayer, leading the prayers and setting high expectations of responses and behaviour.
Four prayer leaders from Year Four did a fantastic job of guiding us through the rosary and gave pauses for thought and reflection. We began every decade with a mystery read beautifully by the children and then reflected on this by dedicating 10 Hail Mary’s. At the beginning of each decade a partner pair was selected to light a candle together whilst the focus mystery was being read.
It was a very mature and beautifully reflective prayer service with all children aware of the importance of the Rosary and how we can pray this most special prayer.
I really enjoined the prayer service and lightning the candle❤️.
