This half term our Christian Value is peace. We define peace as feeling calm and content.
In our Philosophy Friday sessions, we take the opportunity to think deeply about the world around us. Our reflection this week was about whether it is easier to feel peaceful by yourself.
Before we shared our reflections, I was very confident that I found it easier to be peaceful by myself but following much debate I was persuaded to think differently.
“When I feel angry I find it easier to find peace by myself but when I feel upset I prefer to be with a friend.” Bea
“Sometimes when I am playing out and I want to find peace I sit by a tree and watch the bees pollinate.” Jack
“If you feel peaceful you can make other people feel peaceful too.” Poppy
“On the one hand it can be easier to find peace when there is no-one to bother you but on the other hand you feel protected when you are together.” Arthur
