Priory Day

To has been Priory Day at Cartmel Priory and Sarah and I had been asked to front the event which had year 5 and 6 children from 6 local primary schools attending - there was over 130 children plus staff at the event.  The theme this year was about storing treasures in heaven and not on earth.  For our part we did an assembly style start to the morning when the children arrived, during this time we watched a video about the theme.  Then Sarah and I led the drama workshop where we read the story through again with the children and encouraged them to make a freeze frame of various scenes from the story.  We then build on the treasures in heaven bit during morning break time, then again at lunch time and also before the children left.  The children did other activities as well such as singing workshop, craft, prayer space, games and a treasure hunt moving round each one during the day.  All in all I feel we had a good day with the children.
