🔥 Stepping Out with Courage: Lessons from Moses and the Burning Bush 🔥

🌟 Love, Learn, Shine with Courage – Our Half Term Theme💪 Finding Courage Beyond Our Comfort Zone
This week in collective worship, our children have been exploring the value of Courage – a theme that will guide us through this half term.
We began by looking at the story of Moses and the Burning Bush, a powerful reminder that courage often means stepping out of our comfort zone and trusting in what lies ahead. Just like Moses faced challenges and uncertainty, we talked about the times when we might need courage in our own lives – whether that’s trying something new, speaking up for what’s right, or facing a difficult situation with confidence.
To help deepen our understanding, we introduced the Courage Acrostic,
breaking down what courage looks like in action. Children reflected on how courage isn’t just about big, dramatic moments it’s also about everyday choices that help us grow and shine.
