Church Walk Primary School

This morning Sarah and I went to do our Christmas Assembly at Church Walk School.  We started with Be Happy, Sarah then asked the children what time of year it was - Christmas was the answer.  So Sarah asked the children what Christmas was all about and she had a number of very good answers from eating chocolate, to Father Christmas, spending time with family, celebrating and the birth of Jesus.  We then showed the children the Bible Societies Christmas video clip which recalls the journeys that the main characters in the Christmas story take - it is done in a 'Going on a Bear Hunt' style.  After the video Sarah continued to talk about Christmas pointing out if you took mas of the end of the word we are left with Christ and without Jesus there would be no Christmas - this came as a bit of a shock to most of the children.  When Sarah had finished I introduced our Christmas song Rejoice with Us.  After the song I closed the assembly with a prayer.
