Miss Bland led our assembly all about forgiveness. We discussed the meaning of forgiveness. We shared our thoughts regarding what it means to ask for forgiveness and also what it means to forgive. Then we reflected on how it makes us feel when someone forgives us for our mistakes and how it can bring us peace to forgive others.
Year 6 spent some time reflecting on their own experiences of forgiving others and times when they have needed to ask for forgiveness for small mistakes they have made. Twelve children did a fantastic job at speaking aloud in assembly to share these experiences; well done!
Miss Bland shared a story about forgiveness called, ‘Big Red Lollipop’. This story focuses on the daily occurring disagreements siblings can have and we always forgive them because of the love and care they share for each other. This book is available to listen to on YouTube should you wish to discuss at home.
