Spiritual planting (connecting and looking after God's creation)
Reverend Stewart took us outside for a special activity, combining hands-on learning with an important lesson from Religious Education. As we planted flowers and picked up rubbish, Reverend Stewart explained how caring for the environment is part of many faiths, including the Christian belief in being good stewards of God's creation. We eagerly planted, cleaned, and learned how small actions, like keeping nature tidy and beautiful, reflected values of respect, responsibility, and kindness. It was a meaningful experience, connecting RE lessons to real-world actions, fostering both environmental care and spiritual growth.
