Assembly - Friday,20th April 2012
I
always enjoy the assemblies on a Friday morning but yesterday, on
entering the hall, the smell of
cooking filled my nostrils and added
to the experience as before the morning was over I was eating the
product.
Year 4's contribution to Assembly was the making of the
Eccles cakes and it was encouraging to
hear that the children had made
them by simply following instructions - not sure I could have followed
instructions quite as well!
Assembly followed the usual format with
Show and Tell of achievements, suitably rewarded by acknowledgement in
the form of loud applause - comments always encouraging to the children
and their attainments.
The prayers of thanks for safe return after
the holiday with requests for help that easily relate to the children
and their experience allows them to see prayer as part of their
development.
The new hymn was delightful and the accompanying guitar
was accomplished. The opportunity was taken to remind the children why
certain things need to be done or not done - in this case why things
should not be leant
against a guitar.
The awarding of the Splodges
adds an extra dimension to the business of saving energy. All the
children are involved and all the children know that Mrs Rees' class is
the one to be beaten and the humour which runs through these
proceedings is inclusive - shared by all - the children, the staff and
the visitors.
The conclusion of this Assembly was the eating of the
Eccles cakes - delicious - in all shapes and sizes - just the right
amount of sweetness. Well done Year 4!
