Croftlands Infants School

This morning Sarah and I went to do the assembly at Croftlands Infant School.  It was lovely to see all the children who gave us such a warm welcome.  We started by singing Be Happy.  After the song Sarah introduced the theme for the assembly which was kindness.  She asked how old the school was and said she bet that there had been no one every at the school who had the name of the person in the story today. She also did have to explain that it was American people speaking in the video clip we had and the name of the person in the story was different in English.  So on with the video clip which was King David showing kindness to Saul's grandson Mephibosheth.  After the clip I did explain a little bit about why the act of kindness was so great because Mephibosheth was lame in both legs as a result of an accident when he was a baby.  Sarah then told the children something Isaac Newton said in that for every action there is a reaction.  She explained what that means and gave examples like if you smile at someone they smile back, if you pass a positive comment to someone a positive one comes back, if you should kindness to someone then kindness is shown to you in some way.  When we do show kindness we Shine from the inside out - cue for a song I think.  After the song I closed with a prayer.
