Our pupils recently welcomed Reverend Ogston<\/strong> to school for a special visit focused on morals, values and learning through storytelling<\/strong>. The session gave pupils the chance to listen to engaging stories while thinking about important qualities such as teamwork, perseverance and inner strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stories with Meaning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Reverend Ogston shared a number of thoughtful and engaging stories with the children. One memorable story followed a journey through the jungle<\/strong>, where characters faced challenges and obstacles along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the story, pupils explored how working together as a team<\/strong>, staying strong during difficult moments<\/strong>, and never giving up<\/strong> can help people overcome challenges. The story helped pupils understand how these values can be applied in their own lives at school and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thinking About Our Choices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The session encouraged pupils to reflect on how the choices they make can affect others. Through discussion and listening to the stories, the children thought about how kindness, cooperation and determination can help build positive relationships and a strong community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was wonderful to see pupils so engaged, listening carefully and sharing their ideas about the messages behind the stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
