St Mary's Dalton

This morning Sarah and I went to do our first assembly of this year at St Mary's Dalton, it was great to see all the children and staff again after such a long time. We started with Be Happy before I displayed a picture of an acorn on the screen and Sarah asked the younger children what it was - an acorn came the response.  Next Sarah asked them what acorns grow in to - an oak tree was the answer.  Sarah talked a little bit about small acorns that grow into massive oak trees and about a phrase that people often use 'mighty oaks from little acorns grow' she explained what that means as she pointed out that someone in the school could one day be the prime minister of England.  I then told the story with pictures of David being selected by God and anointed by Samuel to be the king of the Israelites.  After the story Sarah conclude the assembly by once again talking about little acorns and mighty oak trees before introducing the next song God can do anything, after the song Sarah closed with a prayer.
