Croftlands Infants School

This afternoon we went to Croftlands Infants and took Gary along with us.  It was great to see all the children again after the Easter Holidays.  After singing Sarah introduced the theme for the assembly - Jesus healing the blind man on the Sabbath.  She told the children that the story is in the bible but today she was going to read it from the Mark and Sarah Big Book of Bible Stories.  She called Gary up to say hello to the children which he did and then went on to ask if the children had had a good Easter holidays and Sarah asked if they had eaten chocolate for breakfast on Easter Sunday. Sarah started the assembly talk and then Gary noticed the MSBBBS and said Wow.  Sarah called order and started to read the story.  However when she got to the bit that said on the Sabbath day Gary stopped her to ask what the Sabbath day was as he didn't understand.  So Sarah ask the children if they knew what it was and a few gave answers that it was like Sunday.  Sarah continued the story but when ever she got to the part about Jesus spitting on the floor Gary shouted p-tooey and pretended to spit then when she said he made a little mud Gary shouted ooey gooey, Sarah said that he rubbed it on the mans eyes to which Gary proclaimed Health and Safety and when the man could she he shouted halalooey!  As the story went on this routine was repeated about 5 times and by the end the children started to join in.  Sarah finished the story while Gary went off to find Mark and tell him the exciting story of Jesus healing a blind man by spiting on the floor and making some mud.....Sarah encouraged the children to close their eyes before saying just how great a miracle it is that Jesus made this man see.  We finished the assembly with So Many Ways to Praise the Lord and before Sarah said a short prayer.
