Open The Book 16th March 2016

The Open the Book story today was all about what happened after Moses led his people to freedom. Unfortunately the people were not happy even when they were free.
The people moaned so Moses prayed to God and God answered. By day God led the people with a thick white cloud and by night a flaming torch. Then God made some rules for the people.
When they reached the promised land the people were happy.

We thought about who provides food in our homes and we also remembered those people that don't have enough to eat.

Open The Book 11th January 2016

The story today was about Moses as a baby. We thought about how God helps us with our plans. We reflected on the plans we have for ourselves, as God had a special plan for Moses.

Open the Book - Wednesday 16th September 2015

Each month our friends from St Lucia's Church and Lichfield Deanery visit school to lead a whole school assembly called Open the Book. A bible story is shared through drama. This month in September the story was about Abraham.
