This week’s focus has been on our last school value of the year, perseverance. Thank you so much to Amelia in Year 2, who painted us such a beautiful representation of our school values, over the holiday. Amelia has very kindly donated her painting to school – thank you!
We thought about how difficult perseverance is to spell, let alone fully understand. We thought about all the different ways that perseverance can be interpreted and what it might mean to us as individuals, as well as members of the Church of Ascension community. We looked at Paul the Apostle and were amazed to discover that Paul wrote 13 of the 27 books of the new testament. We learnt about the hardship that he faced and the adversity that he had to overcome. Paul’s teachings on faith, grace, and the transformative power of the Gospel remain central to Christian belief and practice.
