At St. Bernadette's, the act of prayer is not about what we say, it is a dynamic response and a chance to pause, reflect and be open to hearing from, and talking to, God. Every class, from Nursery to Year 6, enjoys 'Creative Prayer' weekly. This is an opportunity for pupils to experience powerful ways of using their senses to express their faith in a different way, making a space to pause and reflect. These can be as simple but powerful as reflecting on words or images, using objects and practical responses  like placing a pebble in water, lighting a candle or using bubbles or modelling dough to pray. Through engaging with acts of prayer, the children develop an understanding of themselves as spiritual beings and grow their own beliefs, hopes and responses as part of living in an ever- changing, ever-challenging world.
