Good Morning Brown Clee!

I’ve got a question for you this morning – Do you know what a logo is?  Can you think of one and describe it?

Here are some pictures of logos – see if you can work out what each image represents?

…..England Football Club

….McDonalds

The Union Jack – Great Britain

…Christianity

…..Brown Clee School!!!!

When people wear branded clothing or school uniform, they are automatically showing their support for that brand or school. Some football fans are so loyal to their team that they would never wear the colours of a rival team. Some people are so against certain products that they would boycott going to a shop that sold that product. The term ‘loyalty’ is defined as ‘a strong feeling of support or allegiance’.

Have a think about those qualities that you are looking for in a good friend….

….Have any of you included the quality of loyalty.  Loyalty means having a strong sense of support, allegiance or faith in someone.

In the Bible, we read the story of Daniel. Daniel is a man who remained loyal to God even when he got in trouble for it. He thought that it was more important to follow his belief in God than to bow down to what other people said, even the king.

Loyalty is a good characteristic to have. If we have loyal friends, we are very fortunate.

Let’s pause to think about how we can show loyalty to people today.

Our father lyrics

Prayer of the Day

Dear God,
Thank you for the example of loyalty that we see in Daniel.
Please help us to be willing to stand up for what is right.
Help us to think about the needs of others.
Please help us to be people full of love for others.
Help us to be loyal friends.
Amen.

Good Morning Brown Clee!

This week we have been thinking about the importance of positive thinking, and trying to ensure that even when things go wrong or seem tough, being patient and persevering with optimism.

Having a positive mindset can mean that we have faith that things will work out ok; that we believe that despite problems or challenges, we can overcome them and succeed.

Faith is a word we hear a lot about in the Bible, and it is a word that can be quite tricky to explain.  Have a watch and listen to this video and see what it makes you think about…

So having faith means that you can put your trust into someone or something. Have a think about who you trust and why do you trust them? What qualities do they have? What is it about them that makes you have faith in them?  Have a moment and think how they make you feel….do they make you feel positive about yourself and give you hope?

You are wonderful lyrics

Prayer of the Day

Dear Lord,
We know that life can have its ups and downs.
Thank you for the many good things in our lives.
Please remind us to seek help in the hard times.
Please help us to also share our happiness with other people.
Thank you that you are with us in both the good and bad times.
Amen.

Following the success of yesterday’s Pet Show & Tell session, and seeing how much everyone enjoyed spending some time together and seeing each other, we have decided to hold a Show & Tell session weekly as we think it is so important to try and give children some ‘social’ contact.

Therefore next Monday, 1st February, at 1pm we will hold another Microsoft Teams Show and Tell Session, where children can share their favourite toy.  They can describe it, talk about why they like it, how long they’ve had it, anything at all!  Or children can just join to watch and listen – there is no compulsion to speak!

The link will go out next Monday morning via email.

It is Jorge’s birthday tomorrow and he wanted to show you the cake his mum and sister Isabelle made for him!

Maisie was disappointed that she missed Pet Show and Tell and wanted to share this picture of her with her best friend Fifi!

Lola has sent through some photos and information of her pets as she was unable to attend the Show and Tell session yesterday – here they are…

Her pets are…Ember her Doberman

Ziva her cat

and Gizmo our leopard gecko who is shedding her skin in the photo. She does this regularly when she’s growing, she eats locusts and she has to stay very warm…
