This title is part of the "On the Story Mat" series, which tells Bible stories for children in their early school years. Each story relates to a typical classroom incident within the experience of the young listener.
It was a busy morning in Mrs Jolley's class and it wasn't long before the classroom was looking rather messy. When the bell rang and the children went for lunch, Mrs Jolley surveyed the room. No one had put anything away. After lunch it was time for the children to sit on the story mat. Mrs Jolley told the children about how Jesus had washed his friends' dusty feet - he didn't mind making sure everyone was clean and comfy. And before long, she had a tidy classroom...In this story the children learn about Abraham when Nathan goes to a new school, about the ants who are always busy, and sing Psalms of praise at harvest. There's news of a wedding, a story about being the best and a very important lesson in why we must never, never go with anyone we don't know.
It was a big day for Mrs Jolley's class. The children were used to a class assembly, but today they were going to join the whole school in the Big Hall. As they walked along the corridor, so they heard the music. Mrs Foster, the head teacher, was there to welcome them. The sixth title in the "On the story mat" series, this book focuses on the Lord's Prayer, moving through it phrase by phrase and teaching its meaning as situations present themselves to the children in Daisy Hill School. It is designed for use when exploring the meaning of the Lord's Prayer in school assembly and classroom teaching, and with individuals or church groups.
