I found out this morning that my children have been saying prayers before lunch...

[cece]

We deliberately chose a non-church school (most of the local schools to us are church schools) as we are not religious and did not want our children educated in this way. In fact it is a community school.

But today DS told us that they say prayers before they go for lunch. DD (who is now in the juniors, so was there for 3 years) confirmed this... She knew the words off by heart.

Now I am not happy (at all) about this, and neither is DH.

My question is should I complain?

Plays based on myths can be great fun. Can we vary it though and have Odin impaling himself on Yggdrasil the world tree some years? Just for a change

The class could make a papier mache hammer for Thor. I bet they had some great songs too.

They do to! link. Better skip the one that goes "Frigga this and Frigga that" as it might cause offence.

in my dd's last class they use to sing

(arm pointed forward in superman style)

'thankyou God for giving us food, thankyou god for giving us food'

to the Superman theme tune

bit of a mixed message there, but highly enjoyable for the kids
