Recently a choir of 18 children from a Christian school in Uganda - the Watoto School Choir visited Finedon Mulso Junior. They were fabulous in their singing and performance!
Avril Wise, headteacher writes, "Our children sat entranced to start with but, when they were invited to join in, they did so enthusiastically, following the choir's lively example. In between the amazing singing and dancing, some of the children told their personal, harrowing stories but bore witness to their faith that Jesus had saved them. All of the children in the choir (and at the school) are orphans, many of them having lost their parents to AIDS. It was very moving, especially when they sang 'I am not forgotten, God knows my name'."
In preparation for this visit at the end of last term, the school had a mufti day to raise money for Watoto School and so were able to give a donation to the choir on the day and the staff were able to buy CDs and jewellery to help boost Watoto school's funds.
Useful resources for collective worship and assembly planning can be found at teachingexpertise.com in their assembly section.
For secondary teachers In particular, there are topical and ready to use assemblies for KS3-5 focusing on issues important for raising with your pupils on the wider environment and encouraging engagement, reflection and response skills.
