Croftlands Junior School

On Monday Sarah and I went to do the assembly at Croftlands Junior School.  As we are on the run up to Easter we had decided to tell a story which is part of the Easter story so we had part 1 of a 2 part story.  The story was about Peter saying that he wasn't a friend of Jesus, we used the Lost Sheep series story called 'Peter and the Rooster'  However before that Sarah asked if anyone was brave, then asked if they were brave all the time - she also asked if they thought chickens were brave because you guessed it the story had chickens in it.  By way of an intro to the theme we sang Inright Outright I then told the story and displayed visuals on the screen as I did so.  After the story Sarah asked about the feelings Peter might have had during this time and linked it into the feelings that we sometimes might have - like we might feel sad, angry, afraid and so on.  Then she asked what the children would do if they saw someone like that would they help or ignore them?  This came round to talking about us doing the right thing unlike Peter who denied that he even knew Jesus and she continued when we do  go out of our way to help people we Shine from the inside out - cue for a song.  After the song Sarah finished with a prayer.
