Valentine's Day 2025 ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/blog/love_one_another.jpg) 10 February 2025 [Mr Mackley](https://www.stmatthewspreston.co.uk/blog/author/head) [Worship](https://www.stmatthewspreston.co.uk/blog/category/worship) In this, the last worship of the half term, we are thinking about what love **is** and what we can learn from St Valentine in terms of love. It's so important that we love each other and show that love in real, practical ways each day.

We can show love and kindness by listening to one another, by respecting each other, by helping one another and helping parents with chores. ##### 6R *10 February 2025* We discussed how love is not just romance. There are many different types of love. We explored how we can show love by respect, kindness and our actions. We can love each other, our families and the environment. We spoke about how when we do these positive actions, it makes us feel positive about ourselves. We also had a vote if we loved school! (We won't share our results!) ##### 5D *10 February 2025* We talked about making friends, making people happy when they are sad and showing kindness to others. ##### 1SW *10 February 2025* We said the things we love - like our pets and our family and toys! ##### Mr Mackley *10 February 2025* Thank you for your lovely comments, I am glad that you found it helpful and it is lovely to see the many different ways we can show love. ### Leave a Comment - [![Artsmark Award](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/Am_Schl_Gld_RGB.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![EAL Quality Mark](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/EAL_Silver.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![Halo Code](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/halo_code.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) ##### Location New Hall Lane Preston Lancashire PR1 5XB ##### Contact Us 01772 794482 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587761925215) - [X](https://x.com/mackley_ma56490) © Copyright 2018–2026 St Matthew's Church of England Primary Academy and Nursery School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stmatthewspreston.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
