Collective Worship
As some of us return to school, we will have an opportunity to meet together virtually to worship God. We may be a scattered school, but we are still part of the Childwall Church of England Primary School worshipping community!
Each day, there will be a different collective worship posted here for you to use at home or in school. Miss Wikeley has included plenty of music for reflection in her section of this website.
The wonderful B-Tales are also continuing to produce collective worships for us. These will be sign-posted to use each Tuesday.
Click here for collective worships for every day of the week.

Home Hunt!
Here are some lovely educational resources in the form of a home hunt to keep your little ones busy at home! There are resources for each year group. Happy hunting!
Home Hunt Instructions:
1. Cut out all the clues along the dotted lines.
2. The clues are numbered on the back with instructions of where to hide each one (in red).
3. You DO NOT need to use ALL the clues in the Hunt (for example, if you think there is some content your child hasn’t learnt yet or if you would like to shorten a Hunt). To leave clues out simply hide the next clue you would like to include where the original next clue would have gone (for example, if you would like to omit clues 4-7, hide clue 8 where clue 4 would have gone).
4. A Hunt also DOES NOT need to be completed in ONE go/day (You can finish on an earlier clue and save the rest for later). But remember to hide the “HUNT STAR” where the new last clue points to (for example, if you decide to finish with clue 8 rather than clue 13, hide the Hunt Star wherever the answer to clue 8 is)!
5. It’s a nice idea to leave treats with some clues and/or something special in the final hiding place with the Hunt Star.
6. Once the trail has been laid you can give the first clue to the Home Hunter to begin the Hunt!
7. With each Home Hunt there are instructions on the first clue for how to solve the clues.
JK Rowling Introduces ‘The Ickabog’
Calling all budding artists! J.K. Rowling is inviting you to help illustrate The Ickabog for her. Every day when chapters of the story are uploaded, she will be making suggestions for what you might like to draw or paint to illustrate the story as it goes along. You should let your imagination run wild!
The best bit is, if you are between seven and twelve years old, your parent or guardian on your behalf can enter your drawings or paintings into the official competition being run by J.K. Rowling’s publishers, for a once in a lifetime chance to be featured in The Ickabog book, which is published in November.
