Celebrating Achievement, Building the Future in God's Love
Our chair is called 'The Seat of Selfless Heroes'
What our chair means to us:
Here is our chair - fit for an everyday hero. We are proud to say that everyone in Year 6 has contributed to its design and creation. When we were given the brief to design a chair for 'an everyday hero' we initially started to think about the heroes in our community. We came up with the National Health Service, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, the Army, the Police, the Air Ambulance and charities such as the Salvation Army, Crisis and Shelter. As many of us have parents or family working for these organisations, we felt it was important to represent them as the selfless work they do for our communities on a daily basis, is essential and can change lives. Each spindle has been painted according to the colours of each organisation: the Police - the spindle has been painted blue and yellow; the Army - green and brown to represent camouflage; blue and white for the NHS; read and white - to represent the Salvation Army, Fire Service, Crisis and Shelter; orange and black - for the RNLI; Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance is green and yellow.
We were inspired by Jesus' words, 'I am the Vines, you are the branches, If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit.' The legs of our chair are like the trunk of a tree - supporting and giving the strong foundation - just like those who remain strong for others and give up their time to care. Then the vine connects and wraps around the chair - showing that everyday heroes all connect in a similar way - there to support and bring light to others. Everyday heroes walk in Jesus' steps and selflessly give their time for the good of other people. Finally, the seat has been covered in beautiful flowers and leaves made by Year 6 to reflect the natural world. Around the back of the chair, the words from the Galatians taken form the Bible are inscribed on it. It states, 'And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.' Inspiring words for us all to live by.
