This morning we went to Croftlands Junior School to do our Christmas assembly. We had the whole school in for the assembly as normally there are a few year groups out swimming on Tuesdays. We sang a short song to start 'Great Big God' then we brought Gary on who was far too busy to talk to the children as he was doing his Christmas list and one for his mum. Sarah read the list which had toys, toys, toys, toys and more toys on it while his mums list had mince pies, turkey, chocolate x 100, more mince pies and sprouts. Sarah pointed out that Christmas was not all about what we get as presents or about how much we can eat - she then showed Gary and the children a video. It started with the nativity scene of Mary, Joseph and Jesus but other things blotted out the image as more and more things filled the screen. Finally a baby cried and the nativity scene slowly came back into view. Gary now realised what Christmas was all about and got so excited about it that he ran off to tell Mark. The assembly finished with a short word about the true meaning of Christmas and we sang 'Great Big God'
