Open the Book

The Open the Book Team from St John the Evangelist, Merrow come to school once each half term to retell a bible story for the children in Collective Worship.

Each story is carefully scripted into a 10-15 minute presentation which often involves the children in acting parts of the story; the stories are enacted in a fun way and are memorable for all of our children. We also enjoy singing the Open the Book song together.

Open the Book is an opportunity for our children to have a deeper understanding of key Bible stories. This special time with the Open the Book Team helps to develop our children’s spirituality and morality as part of our SMSC curriculum.
