At Much Birch, we think about BIG QUESTIONS

Values and information
Courageous Advocacy
Collective Worship at Much Birch
A variety of people lead our children through collective worship, including Mrs Davies, Mrs Ricketts and Reverend Mark . We also have a small Y5 Worship Council that helps with Worship and evaluates our provision providing child-led feedback.
Previous years' trips to Much Birch Church – Church Trail
Some classes were able to visit Much Birch Church to take part in the Church trail. Ross-on-Wye Decorative and Fine Arts Society (DFAS) are sponsored the trail at Much Birch Church. The Church trail was partly created by a member of DFAS with the aim of introducing children to the art, architecture and history of their local church.
Much Birch Church
Children visit the parish church, St. Mary and St. Thomas a Becket, to look for symbols of Christianity both inside the building and also in the church yard.
The children are also pictured looking at some of the symbolic objects that are used during Holy Communion.
Inspirational banners
Were designed within school and hang proudly in the hall.
We were all delighted to see the amazing banners celebrating the gift of the Holy Spirit, through the symbols of the dove and fire. They have been inspired, designed and sewn by all the children following their work in RE.
