Flookburgh School

This morning Sarah and I went down to Flookburgh School, as we arrived we were welcomed by children jumping up and down and calling out our names in excitement which was just wonderful.  It has been a good few weeks since we last visited the school (beginning of March) hence I supposed the excitement.  To start off our assembly we sang God's Love is Bigger than a Burger, then we introduced the theme of Respect - which is also one of the Christian Values within the school.  Sarah talked a little about it before showing the video clip from Finding Nemo which shows Nemo being disrespectful towards his father when he firstly says he hates him then swims out to the boat and even touches it.  Sarah talked with the children and reminded them after the clip what happened to Nemo.  I then continued by talking about the Bible and how there are many examples of people showing respect towards others as we as towards God and equally being disrespectful too.  I went on to talk about Moses and the 10 commandments and how 4 are about respecting God and 6 respecting others.  I displayed the words from Exodus 20:12 about respecting our parents and explained what the whole verse means for us today.  Then Sarah continued and mentioned the word shine - which was a cue for the next song.  After the song Sarah closed with a prayer.
