t Hello everyone,
I want to start this week with a special mention to our new caretaker, Mrs Ingram who

environment of the school already, especially during the cold and very snowy few days,
ApRpselcichce1oa5paotttnilhoidopnJnlYasa/neyfc
oaeuerarsar7ry3 2022 a big thank you for all of your hard work to help keep the school clean and safe.

Our Worship Leads have had a busy week this week. Some led a wonderful assembly on
Wednesday introducing us to the true meaning of advent
and the Countdown to Christmas. They have also been
supporting our work as an ICON(International Cross of Nails)
school. We are very proud to be part of this worldwide network
of over 200 churches, charities, educational and training organisations. The creation of
ICON was inspired by the Coventry story of destruction and we all work to look at ways to
support rebuilding and renewal, and active reconciliation within our own communities
and beyond.

On Thursday we welcomed Mrs Hathaway Assistant
Headteacher at the Blue Coat School, a fellow ICON school, to
exchange pieces of art work to celebrate Inter-faith week 2021.
Our Worship Leads have been busy working with Mrs Spraget
and Mrs Palmer to create a piece of art work to give to the
Blue Coat School, with the following message:

"We created this piece of artwork as a gift for you to represent
the values our school has as a Church of England school and an ICON school.
The values of an ICON school are “living with differences and celebrating
diversity” and “building a culture of peace”. We created a
canvas using various media to portray these values. Within the
representation are the symbols of all the faiths that are
represented in both our schools. This canvas shows how we can
respect each other even though we have different beliefs and
we can live and walk in peace. We used the verse from the Bible,
Psalm 133:1 “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live
together in unity,” as we strive to treat each other with respect
and love. At Bilton C of E Junior School, we believe we are all God’s
children which leads us to inspire, challenge and
achieve in His love."

The work we received in return depicts neighbourliness and how we are all connected
and created by one of their talented students. It was inspired by the Lockdowns and how
communities came together and underpinned by the verse from Matthew 22:39, 'Love
they neighbour'
