Church Walk School

This morning I went along to Church Walk School to do the assembly.  It was great to see all the children, we always get a very warm welcome from them whenever we go to visit the school.  To start we sang God Can Do Anything then I talked about peace and used the Jelly Babies and explained that they had been introduced after the first world war as a way to celebrate peace.  The link was that each one is different as we are different, not only in colour but also taste.  Following the second world war the Peace Babies as they had been known as were reintroduced as Jelly Babies then in the 1980's they were all given names and a character.  Peace happens when all people work together in harmony.  I asked the children what they could do to make peace at school, in the family, in the community of Ulverston as well as the wider community and a few children suggested things they could do.  To close off the assembly we sang May the God of Hope then I said a prayer.
