Yr 5 and 6 carol service

            
On Tuesday the 13th of December Years 5 and 6 went to St Mary's Church to sing our wonderful
Christmas carols. By the way I must say we were rather brilliant as we all sang as best as we could, our readers were clear (even though they were nervous), and our poems were really thoughtful. The service was from 10:00 - 10:45 and the parents joined us to celebrate Christmas. Reverend Meredith was really kind and generous and introduced every song we did. He even said we had talent and had worked really hard! VoxRox (our school choir) sang a song too.
It was great to see so many parents parents, and grandparents coming along

Now here's one of our poems.

Generosity
First is the moment you drop a penny into an old chipped mug,
First too is the moment a smile breaks out on a beggar's face,
Second is the moment when you give your little brother a football for his birthday,
Second too is the moment you receive a present from your older sister,
Third is the moment you give up your time to sing to the occupancy of a care home to make them smile,
Third too is the moment where a Christmas carol brings joy and love to the lonely heart,
Fourth is the moment you companion someone who has bullied you,
Fourth too is the moment you experience kindness for the first time,
Fifth is the moment you let someone have the last roller coaster ticket that you really wanted,
Fifth too is the moment you realise your dream is going to come true,
Sixth is the moment you give someone a rid to work when they're running late,
Sixth too is the moment when you can take a deep breath and realise you won't be late,
Generosity is the moment you stop being selfish.

Now here's another poem that Lyla-Rose and Niamh Midgeley wrote and was read by Niamh.


Forgiveness
Forgiveness is found in the relief on Noah's face as he gazes upon God's gift of a rainbow.
Forgiveness is found deep within God's wise words.
Forgiveness is found in the reprieve of a condemned prisoner as the judge grants him a pardon.
Forgiveness is found in in the truth of a younger child telling their mum their mistakes.
Forgiveness is found in the burying of the hatchet before the passing of the peace pipe.
Forgiveness is found in the human brain and the realisation of his or her mistakes.
Forgiveness is when anger leaves the heart to make room for love.
Forgiveness is found in 5 letters T.R.U.S.T.
