Flookburgh School

This morning Sarah and I went down to Flookburgh School for an assembly.  Once again we had a warm welcome from the children.  To start off the assembly we sang So Many Ways to Praise the Lord so after showing the children the actions they all joined in and as the song continued they had really got into the swing of it.  Sarah then said she was hungry and as we had had such an early start this morning said she hadn't had breakfast.  So she took and orange and started to peel it and then asked the children if anyone would like to share it with her.  A girl came forward and as Sarah pop a piece into her mouth she gave the girl the peel - much to her surprise!  Sarah then did share the orange out.  The point was sharing put also being considerate towards others.  I then read the story of the feeding of the 5000 from the Lion Storyteller Bible and afterwards Sarah summed up the story and encouraged the children to think about ways they could be considerate towards other people like sharing their sweets, lunch, pencils and things but also holding doors open for people, helping to pick things up from the floor etc.  To finish we sang Shine and then I closed with a prayer.
