We learned about the parable of the cracked pot. 

The parable says that a water carrier has two pots, one perfect and the other cracked. The cracked pot feels ashamed of its flaw, but the water carrier uses it to water the plants along the path, and the plants flourish.  The story teaches that even though we may have flaws or imperfections, God can still use us for good. Our imperfections don't make us less valuable; in fact, they can be a source of unique strength and beauty. 

Collective Worship at Shustoke provides the opportunity for pupils to become aware of the importance of reflection and how our positive and negative experiences can be formative.

Following on from Reverend Mark's worship, in classrooms, we thought about ourselves as a pot and how spirituality begins from a Christian understanding that everyone is a valued creation, individually and uniquely made by God, like pots made by a potter (Isaiah 64:8).

We took time to reflect and empathise with moments of disappointment or pain as well as reflecting on the beauty and joy of the world.
