Low Furness School

This morning Sarah and I went to do our first assembly of the new school year at Low Furness School.  It was lovely to back with the children and the staff in the school and to see all the new Reception children.  We started with So Many Ways to Praise the Lord before introducing the theme for the assembly which was respect in the Bible.  To do this we showed a clip from Finding Nemo - it features Nemo and his friends as they venture out into open water, Nemo's day tries to stop him but he continues out and touches a boat going against what his dad tells him to do.  I used this to talk about respect and linked into the 10 Commandments and in particular the one that talks about respecting your father and mother.  I expanded the verse to include anyone who is older than us and who is in authority.  Sarah also brought in that we should respect each other as well.  We then sang Shine before Sarah closed with a prayer.
