Penny Bridge School

It was the first assembly at Penny Bridge today.  We sang Great Big God to start off with.  Then we went on to tell a story about parts of the body, it was based on one of Aesop's Fables.  It involved certain parts of the body talking to the stomach and complaining that they were not going to feed him any more as he didn't do any work.  So the hands stopped feeding the mouth with food, the teeth didn't chew anything, the legs never went to fetch food etc.  In time the whole body became ill and then the stomach said it was because they had all stopped feeding him.  The moral is that we all need each other in order for us to work as a team.  I then talked about how in the bible it talks about the body and how each part is important and also Jesus taught his disciples to love one another as he loved us.  I explained that we could change the word love to help, look after, respect, care for etc.  Sarah then talked about how as a school we are like a big jig-saw puzzle and that we all have a part to play.  Following singing So Many Ways I ended with a prayer.
