THURSDAY

Thursday starts with Breakfast club at Waterside school. Everybody’s favourite subjects for conversation today:
Has the boy from the Frostie’s advert committed suicide (no guff, 6 yr olds talk about this stuff!)
David Beckam was sick after scoring a goal
I had two little bowls of Tesco Rice Snaps and a glass of water if anyone is interested.

Mr G, Rev Rebecca from Christ Church and me were presenting ‘It’s Your Move’ booklets to Waterside year 6 in their assembly this morning. If your not in the know, the Churches in Chesham all club together to buy these books for every year 6 pupil in the town and people from each school present them to the schools. The books have some really good information and advice on moving up to year 7 (secondary school) and it’s a good project. I got to shake hands with a lot of people and say things like “Well done on completing primary school” and “all the best for year 7”, which I like to imagine is the sort of thing the Queen would say if she had been there. Not that we have much in common outside of hand shaking.
During the assembly I shared with the school my fear of being bog washed when I was eleven. That is; the threat of having your head stuck in a toilet bowl and the flush pulled just for being a year 7 and therefore fair game.
But when we got to school it turned out to be a big urban myth. Can you have urban myths in a rural place like Hythe? Either way, I really hope I haven’t introduced a new concept in terror to the kids at Waterside.
For the rest of the day I did a bit of prep’ for Christian Union at Chesham Park Community College that I led with Matt I & Lydia. It was about the end of the world. We read this excellent bit from the Bible:
2 Peter 3 verses 3 to 17


In the afternoon I did a bit more to the Little Spring school radio project (it’s taking ages!),

I started The Broadway Youth youtube.com video channel and uploaded some videos.

Came home and phoned round some Broadway peeps about OUT THERE at the weekend.

So how was your Thursday?
