What a fantastic Harvest Festival. Who'd have thought we'd be eating crickets! Rev Andy spoke about all the amazing flavours which are available for us...mushroom crisps, banana crisps and barbecue crickets.
We looked a Golden Wonder crisps which have different colour packets from the most popular brand. We explored wonder.
Is wonder a word that the children would use? A thing can be a wonder, like the seven wonders of the world. It is the root of the word ‘wonderful’ - something amazing or even miraculous. However ‘to wonder’ is an action, something we can all do. It means to take time to think and to be amazed. It is important for us all to stop sometimes, sit back and think how amazing our world actually is!
So this assembly is not an advert for crisps or barbecue crickets! It is a reminder that all of us can have a ‘golden wonder’ moment. A moment when we sit back and think, even for just one minute, about everything that is good in our lives, such as the beauty of the world around us, and the fact that our families, friends and people in our school and our community show us love and care for us. We remember this especially at Harvest time and thank God for all he has given us.
