Artwork to show the Christian Value of Love
In Willows, we have been creating artwork linked to the Christian value of Love. We worked together in a pairs to shade some hearts and then painted hearts in the style of Kandinsky.

Who do we trust?
In our reflective worship we listened to the story of David and Goliath and talked about when we trust others and God it can help us overcome our fears. We we made ‘flowers of trust’ in the middle we wrote our name and then on each petal we wrote the names of people who we trust. We included God and our friends and family members on our petals.
