Start of Day Prayer
Now before I run to play,
Let me not forget to pray.
To God who kept me through the night,
And waked me in the morning light,
In my work and in my play,
Be with me throughout the day.
Amen
Lunch Prayer
For food to eat and those who prepare it
For health to enjoy it and friends to share it
We thank you Lord
Amen
End of Day Prayer
God our Father I’ve come to say,
Thank you for your love today.
Thank you for my family,
and all the friends you give to me.
Guard me in the dark of night,
and in the morning send your light
Amen

Prayers that are central to Religious Education Directory and Prayer and Liturgy Directory
As part of the school’s RE Curriculum these are taught in line with the RE progression. Where appropriate these prayers are integrated into class and whole school worship.
