Coniston Primary School

This morning Sarah and I went over to Coniston Primary School to do an assembly.  We started by singing Be Happy then I displayed a picture of an acorn and Sarah asked the younger children what it was - they knew it was an acorn and they knew that acorns grow into oak trees too.  Sarah linked this to the phrase mighty oaks from little acorns grow, she explained what that means before handing over to me to tell our story.  We told the children about a little acorn in the Bible and how he was selected by God when he was just a boy, anointed by Samuel to become King David the greatest of all the kings of Israel.  Sarah continued after I had finished, by saying that all the children are like little acorns that will grow and even do great things one day one of them could even be prime minister, she linked this with God can do anything which we sang to finish.  After the song Sarah closed the assembly with a prayer.
