Whole School Collective Worship – Justice and Humility
The whole school collective worship is brought to you by Mr. Kenyon.
This week we will be focusing on Justice.
Have a look at the hall of fame below to learn more about images and statues linked to Justice (click link to enlarge):
If you are interested in ‘Lady Jusitce’ , please take time to look at ‘Verity’ created by Damien Hirst which is placed on the docks at Ilfracombe, Devon.
A 66 foot stainless steel and bronze sculpture named Verity, created by world famous artist Damien Hirst, stands on the pier at the entrance to the harbour looking out over the Bristol Channel towards South Wales. It has been loaned to the town for 20 years. The name of the piece refers to “truth” and Hirst describes his work as a “modern allegory of truth and justice”.

The bible story we will refer to this week is Jonah and the whale:
Justice
Justice could mean giving wrong doers the punishment they deserve i.e… the punishment fitting the crime- just desserts, an eye for an eye, etc. However, it could also mean giving all people- particularly the poor and oppressed – what is right and fair for them to have i.e… life, health, freedom, and dignity- this is social justice.
We have used many different bible stories to emphasize this: Jonah and the Whale is one.

Jesus calls his followers to see justice, not as a way of getting revenge and paying people back; instead, he calls them to forgive their enemies, go the extra mile and not judge other people.

Fantastic Finish- Egyptian Day
We’ve had a fantastic day celebrating the end of our Pharaoh topic. I was very impressed with the costumes, thank you to all adults at home who helped the children with their Egyptian Costumes.
Stiperstones have had great fun creating death masks, listening to Egyptian music and dancing ‘Like an Egyptian’.
