Broughton CE School

This morning we paid our first visit to Broughton CE School.  As it was our first ever visit we took Gary along with us.  We started by singing Great Big God as some schools know this song already and it is a bit of an old favourite.  Then Sarah introduced Gary to the children.  However he was having a little trouble getting to his window and there was a bit of a noise and his house did wobble a bit and then he appeared.  Sarah asked him what he had been doing.  Gary said 'Do you know that big book on the top shelf' Sarah - yes the big family Bible.  Gary - well it's no longer on the top shelf.  Sarah - good have you taken it down to read it then Gary?  Gary - no .... I needed it to stand on so I could see the children.  Then Sarah asked him to say hello to everyone and so Gary did - each individual child in the hall, Sarah stopped him and told him to give one big hello so Gary did by saying a long HHHHHHHeeeeeeellllllllllooooooooooooow to everyone.  Sarah then told him that standing on the Bible was perhaps not the best thing to do he would be better off reading it.  Gary asked why as the one he was standing on was very old and dusty.  So Sarah told him and everyone else what was in the Bible using flash cards.  So we had creation, history, famous people, music and song, stories, prayers, what to do if we are sad as well as showing us about God's love.  Gary decided that he would not stand on the Bible in future but read it instead.  He went off to read and then we sang 'Shine' before Sarah ended the assembly with a prayer.
