Ten Must Know Bible Stories: Transition-themed prayer/reflective spaces
Jump for Joy? Let go of your worries? Send a message in a bottle?
Transition-themed prayer or reflective spaces for Nursery to P1, P7-S1 and to support the transition between learning at home and coming back to school.
Around this time of year Ten Must Know Bible Stories would usually host ‘Prayer spaces’ in its local schools for the P7 classes around the theme of transition. They have proved hugely popular in providing a place for the children to reflect on their past experiences, considering for example; what they are thankful for, who they will remember and what they’re proud of. They also allow children to express their feelings about moving on; what are they excited for, what are they worried about?
Ten Must Know Bible Stories have adapted its usual resources to provide ideas for simple, engaging activities that encourage prayer and/or reflection on transition focused topics in the home environment. They will support children’s emotional, mental and spiritual health. There are three options to view:
- Activities to support Nursery to P1 transition: Nursery to P1 Prayer or Reflective space ideas
- Activities to support P7 – S1 transition: P7 to S1 Prayer or Reflective Space ideas
- Activities to support the transition between learning at home and going back to school: Back to school Prayer or Reflective space ideas
There is also a document with ideas of how these resources could be a shared experience for your class, allowing children to be inspired and encouraged by their classmates: A shared experience
