Stir it up!

This morning in assembly we looked at getting ready for Christmas - Advent.
The children worked together to make a Christmas Pudding, carefully adding ingredients and following instructions - they certainly were 'stirred up'.

At the end of the assembly, the children took part in the 'Collect' (short prayer): 'Stir up, O Lord, the wills of your faithful people, that richly bearing the fruit of good works, they may by you be richly rewarded; through Jesus Christ our Lord.'

Although the prayer could refer to a pudding, it is in fact about making the most of life - let's hope that is what the children wished for whilst adding the ingredients.
