Comments from staff and children on the crosses

MDS

At lunchtime this week lots of children have commented on the cross on the muga. Saying, ‘this is clever’, how did they do it?’ ‘It’s so colourful!’, ‘I love the feel of it!’. We all think this cross is a lovely new addition - it looks great!

I think these are incredible, beautifully made with such imagination and really show that God is at the heart of Parish.

I love the crosses. I take a child up to see the cross on the MUGA every lunch time. It has become a part of our lunch time routine which I try and vary as much as I can to keep him stimulated. He loves the sensory aspect of the cross and likes to spend time touching and moving the small balls. He also loves to take time to look and feel the colourful cross near the school office before we collect his daily fruit. 

I think they are a beautiful addition to the school environment. 

Teacher

The crosses are so striking and show some really high quality craftsmanship. They're a fabulous addition to the school environment.

Pupils

I like the rainbow and the one with animals because I really like animals

I like the one with beads the best

I like the one with animals on

They're very colourful and nice

They have all the colours of the rainbow which is really happy and makes me smile

LSA

I'd like to mention how the beautiful crosses have been noticed by another child. 

She particularly seems drawn to the one with the class animals in the junior building. 

She in fact points it out every time we pass.

Her favourite is the cute turtle.

I think they are a wonderful addition to the school myself too.
