Low Furness School

This morning the theme given to us by the school was relationships.  So we talked about the relationship the disciples had with each other and about how they argued about who was the greatest.  Sarah got some twins out to help at the front.  I gave them a jumbo pack of cards and encouraged them to work together and build a tower.  I did start it off for them and showed them what to do, and they did start off well then one of them knocked a card and the whole thing crashed down. And as siblings do one blamed the other.  Meanwhile Sarah is talking to the rest of the school about the disciples and how they got on for most of the time but there are times recorded in the gospels were they thought they were better than someone else etc.  Sarah then called out two other twins and got them to read between them the words that the disciples said with regard to being the number one disciple.  And the boys continued to ... build the tower.  Sarah concluded the assembly by asking the children what they should be like with regard to their friends and classmates.  I finished with a prayer and as it is SATS week we didn't sing a second song but sent the children out for fresh air and a run around.
