What does God look like? Where does he live? How could we represent this?
sharing our work after everyone had shared their ideas
explaining what their work represented and giving reasons
comparing ideas
everyone was keen to share and discuss
3 children shared their work with the whole class...

Earlier in the week it was our turn to host the Legacy Tour handover. St Sebastians came to us together with Chris Graves ( Inspire+ ) to hand over the oar that will be presented to sarah Outen when she completes her London to London via the world adventure later in the year. The oar contains messages for Sarah from each of the Legacy Tour schools visited. Bronze Ambassadors handed the oar to us together with the challenge of completing as many miles on the tour bike in 24 hours. ( challenge set by Sarah herself).
Children took this challenge very seriously and arrived at breakfast club the next day to start cycling. They continued through lessons, break, lunch, collective worship( Rev.Lillian was happy for this to continue),after school until the last child left at 5.30!

We asked 3 questions then the signal failed-not bad as Sarah is in North America !
Chris then announced the winner of the flag competition -Tasha drew her flag last summer and it was chosen to represent Marston on the Inspire+ flag.
