Cinnamon Sam

A BIG "Well Done!" to the children for their fantastic performance of Cinnamon Sam today in their class asssembly. A good time was had by all!

Learning about prayer

We have written out the Lord's Prayer today and thought about why people might pray. Next week we are going to write a prayer of forgiveness. Any discussions about the idea of asking for forgiveness or forgiving would be helpful! We have started to think about things like good and evil! In case you are wondering, the image with this Blog is a Christian church in India.
