Open the Book

Thursday morning at 10:20 is always one of our favourites time of the week, when we are extremely lucky to be able to welcome Nicky, our school Chair of Governors David and other adults from Holy Trinity Church Bosbury for a special retelling of a Bible story in the Open the Book assembly; often featuring our very own pupils as guest stars!

In this week's Open the Book assembly, some special guest stars from Class 2 helped the team to re-enact the scene from the New Testament book of Matthew (21:12-17), where Jesus became angry in the Temple in Jerusalem during the final week before his crucifixion, driving out merchants and money-changers who had turned the holy place into a 'den of robbers'.

Jesus swiftly overturned tables and benches, asserting that the Temple was a House of Prayer, before going on to heal a group of blind and lame people.

There were some very impressive acting skills on display all-round during a very dramatic retelling of this significant event in the days leading up to Easter.

Pictures from a variety of past Open the Book assemblies at Bosbury are included in the montage below, featuring scenes from Nebuchadnezzar, Josiah, The Miraculous Catch of Fish, Moses and the Burning Bush, Noah's Ark, Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and The Last Supper. Don't worry, the young man from Class 5 towards the bottom of the page isn't having a snooze when he should be learning his times tables - he's playing the very convincing part of an innkeeper!

A HUGE thank you to Nicky and her team for bringing these fascinating religious stories to life for the children every week.
