Croftlands Junior School

Sarah and I went along to Croftlands Juniors this morning for the first assembly of the new school year.  It was great to see all the children again and in particular the new year 3 children who had come over from the infants.  To start with we sang Creator God as that linked in with the story I was going to tell.  Sarah asked the children if they could guess what the assembly was about after we had sung the song.  Then she asked if they knew which book of the bible it was from.  I told the story using the Word on the Street Bible and explained to the children that it was very much in street talk - and asked if they got wot I was saying man!  During the story pictures appeared that reflected the days of creation.  When I had finished Sarah talked to the children about some of the things in the passage - like it said we are caretakers of the planet she explained to them that we should look after what we have here on earth.  She also talked about how beautiful our planet is and in particular living here in the lakes.  We do have a great big God - which was a cue/link to our next song.  Following that I said a prayer with the children.
