At the same time the children have enjoyed the opportunity to meet their new teachers and to visit their new classrooms, very exciting and quite a big change, especially if you are moving to year 3.
Over these three days our assemblies have focused on the whole school reflecting on what they are thankful for. This year has gone so quickly and in the business of the last few days it is easy to move on without taking the time to pause and reflect. The Psalmist encourages us to do just this, to be still and to know, to take time to reflect and to focus our minds on what we are thankful for both in our own lives and in the lives of others.
Each year group will be sharing their thoughts in our whole school assembly on Friday, by displaying one of the letters from two words. These two words are THANK YOU. Our main point of reflection will however be on the last letter in these two words - the U.
Why?
Because the things that we are thankful for don't happen by accident. They are either because we have made a difference or someone else has. The Letter U focuses us on this fact, it is because of who each individual is that our lives are special. But is also because of who God is that we are able to have so many things to be thankful for.
It is all about U!
So as we finish for the school year we want to focus on U, the difference that each of us makes and the difference that God makes in our lives and our communities.
May we always be thankful for the blessings that we have in our lives and the difference that other people make.
