Our Assembly

The children in P1 really enjoyed performing our assembly about "World Water Day" last Friday.  Lots of the children were brave and offered to do speaking parts - well done! Everyone had at least a few words to say.  We talked about World Water Day and Article 24 of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child. The children made beautiful paintings and pictures of the ways we use water and showed the parents.  Next we had a play about the differences between water use in Scotland and Tanzania.  Mollie read a lovely prayer and then we sang the song we wrote - see below for both.  Well done P1!

 

Song: to the tune of "Frère Jacques"

Turn the tap off, turn the tap off,

When you brush your teeth, when you brush your teeth,

Use the plug save water, use the plug save water,

Careful please, careful please.

 

Prayer:

Lord God, we thirst for a world of justice – a world of peace and happiness. We thirst for people to be treated equally and fairly. So, Lord, give us the gift of water: the water of life, the water of forgiveness, the water that refreshes us and gives us the energy we need to change our world. Amen.
