Some members from Payhembury church 
have been involved in organising and leading a morning of prayer spaces in the church for Oak Class, in February, with the theme of acceptance; this being one of the school’s Parch values. The children went around the church in small groups, with their leader, discussing ways of acceptance in terms of inclusion, war/family rifts, positive words to describe ourselves, praying for people that are 
different/the same. Each prayer space had a different activity that helped the children focus and re-enforce the different aspects of acceptance. 
It was super to hear what the children had to say and to help them grow and learn in this core value. I believe we, as adults, have a lot to learn from children!
Our thanks go to Becky, who sourced the material and to Anita, Kirsten, Izzy and Nicola who gave up their time to lead the activities.
