Leven Valley School

This morning we went down to Leven Valley School.  It was our first visit of the new school year and the first time for the reception to be in the assembly.  Sarah introduced us to the new children and said hello to everyone else and enquired about their summer holidays.  To start we sang Creator God, following that Sarah asked if anyone could possibly suggest what story we were going to tell.  A few answers came back like -  a bible story, an old testament story etc.  We got the right answer in the end - creation.  Sarah asked which book it was from and we did get the answer Genesis after some guessing.   I read the story from the Word on the Street Bible which uses street language.  To help the children to remember the story we posted pictures on the screen for each of the days.  At the end Sarah talked about the world and how beautiful it is and how we should look after it - the passage had talked about us being caretakers of the planet.  She also moved on to talk about looking after each other and linked that to the new children in reception.  To end we sang Great Big God and Sarah said a prayer.
