Christ Church Arts Project Spring 2025
Every child and adult in our school has been involved in creating seven short films to explain how our Christian vision and values come to life in our school.
We are very proud to share them with you here:
Year 6 made a film which seeks to show our school vision of life in all its fullness as promised by Jesus in John 10:10; a vision that we share with the Church of England.
Children in Year 6 went around the school to show the fantastic opportunities and experiences we provide as a school. We also filmed children doing all sorts of different activities under a camera.
We organised the footage captured under six main strands within our vision. These are:
- Life in all its fullness through strong, positive and loving relationships with respect and compassion for ourselves and for all others;
- Life in all its fullness through creativity and positivity;
- Life in all its fullness through academic excellence;
- Life in all its fullness through the widest possible breadth of curriculum;
- Life in all its fullness through spiritual development;
- Life in all its fullness through a sense of community and responsibility.
A day in the life of our Reception class showing life in all its fullness.
Our Reception class made a film to showcase all the fantastic things they do. It really highlighted how at Christ Church we live out our vision by offering life in all its fullness.
Year 1 Creativity
Year 1 created a short film based on our Christian value of CREATIVITY, using a story from the Old Testament book of Nehemiah. We learned how Nehemiah had to be creative in order to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem successfully and we were creative ourselves, telling the story with Lego animation and building lots of different walls!
Year 2 Compassion
Year 2 used the story of The Good Samaritan, as told in Luke 10:25 - 37, to explore the value of COMPASSION. As a way of remembering compassion, we thought about putting ourselves in other people’s shoes, and we had a lot of fun wearing lots of different shoes!
Year 3 Community
Year 3 created a short film based on our Christian value of COMMUNITY using clay animation and the Bible passage 1 Corinthians 12:12-26. This passage talks about how the body has many parts but they are all needed to make one body. This is just like all the different people who play an important part in a community.
Year 4 Courage
Year 4's film, based on our Christian value of COURAGE, tells the story of Daniel in the Lions’ Den (Daniel 6:1-28). Daniel needed courage to do what he knew was right and continue to pray to God as well as to enter the lions’ den. The children used a light box, candles and light painting to illustrate the value and tell the story in a creative way.
Year 5 Simplicity
Year 5 used the Bible passage Matthew 6:25-34, to illustrate our Christian value of SIMPLICITY by animating origami flowers, butterflies and birds. This film includes a reflective section, filmed on Hampstead Heath, inviting those watching to take time in their busy lives for a few minutes of calm and stillness.
