Church Walk Primary School

This morning Sarah and I went to Church Walk Primary School it was our first visit of 2017 so it seemed a little strange saying Happy New Year to the children when they break up for half term on Friday... it was great to see all the children though.  We started off with Be Happy before Sarah asked the younger children what the picture was that I had displayed on the screen - it was an acorn.  Next she asked them what acorns grow into - oak trees came the answer.  This led on to Sarah telling them a little phrase that is often used - mighty oaks from little acorns grow - Sarah explained what that means before handing over to me to tell a story.  I told the story of David being anointed as king by Samuel even though he was a little acorn - but grew up to be the greatest king Israel ever had.  Sarah then concluded the assembly by encouraging the children saying that one of them one day might be a future prime minister, God has given us loads of gifts and talents that one day will develop into something great little acorn to mighty oak.  We finished off the assembly with God can do Anything before closing in a prayer.
