The Art and Soul Man

This week we were pleased to welcome the Art and Soul Man into school. The artist, Chris Gilbert worked with Key Stage 2 on a project called 'Let your light shine.' The children were inspired by his wonderful assembly learning how to use symbols to represent ideas, feelings and beliefs. He talked about light as a symbol for Christians and referred to Bible references to explain the importance of light.

John 8:12
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

1 John 1:5
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

Matthew 5:14-16
"You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

At Audlem St James Primary we believe that a School is not the bricks it is made from but the people inside it and so each of us should have a chance to shine.

This is the starting point of the project, we look forward to sharing the completed project with you soon.
