Penny Bridge School

For our assembly this afternoon we went straight into the talk as time is always a bit tight and we had two parts to the assembly.  I had started to build a card tower and we asked two children to come out that were brothers or sisters and two girls came out to help.  They were asked to build the card tower higher.  They needed a bit of help to start with but soon got he idea and even managed to build a second layer but soon knocked that down and one blamed the other.  Meanwhile Sarah asked two other children to come out and  read a little play which was about two disciples of Jesus who were falling out because they thought they were better than the other.  Sarah went on to talk about our relationships with each other and how we show work together as a team and that we should share our gifts and talents with each other and help everyone.  Because like the two girls building the card tower we need each other in order to make things work.  Sarah also talked about how sports teams work together.  So she encouraged Team Penny Bridge to work together.  I then said that when we do then we shine our love from the inside out which was a cue for a song 'Shine'  The assembly finished with a short prayer.
