Flookburgh Primary School

This morning Sarah and I went over to Flookburgh School for an assembly.  It was great to see all the children dressed in super hero fancy dress as they raised money for Children in Need. We introduced the children to Be Happy this morning and then went on to do our assembly about friends.  So as always we called out two people who are best friends and to one I gave a bar of chocolate to share with his friend.  So they did however I then turned to the friend and announced that the friend with the chocolate had agreed to clean the toilets later on in the morning and asked if they as their best friend would like to help.  I showed the children the cleaning materials, a cloth for the toilet bowl, a toilet brush and some cleaning spray.  The friend having had the chocolate shared with them said yes they would help.  Sarah then read the story of Ruth and Naomi's friendship and how they stayed together through good and bad times.  Following the story Sarah talked a bit more about friendships and how we should look out for each other.  I then invited the school to stand up and for each child to find a friend and shake their hand saying 'thank you for being my friend'  To round the assembly off we then sang another new song (for the school) Wonderful Lord and in the middle Sarah said a prayer.
