St Peters School

First thing this morning Sarah and I were at St Peters School for the assembly.  We decided to do an assembly on Peace and Remembrance so after singing Inright Outright Sarah started to talk about how we remember things.  We had examples like using a mobile phone, a diary, telling someone, making a list and a very old fashion thing putting a knot in a hankie.  All are very good ways of remembering things, she then went on to talk about how we remember what God has done for us in Jesus dying on the cross making a link to the words from the song we had just sung.  I then added that sometimes when we want to remember things we put a sentence together like the order of colours in a rainbow, or how to spell a particular word and I gave some examples of words the children might have been taught how to spell in this way - because, would, could and should.  But I pointed out that the sentence used to help remember the word does not tell us what the word means.  I then displayed the word PEACE on the screen and said that I had put a sentence together that would both help us to remember what the word means as well as how to spell it - so PEACE - People Everywhere Acting Christ-like Evermore.  Sarah then explained what it is to be Christ-like.  To close we sang May the God of Hope.
