i thought i’d just leave a few points of what I did, just if anyone wants to steal!
becasue junior apprentice was on, I looked at Alan Sugar and combined it with the idea of being a disciple. we then looked at JOhn 15v14-15, what would it be like if Alan Sugar asked us to be his apprentice, and his friend. we then had a game of friends like these, to show how friends know silly little things about each other and then asked why? (“because they hang out together and chat and stuff miss!”)EXACTLY! SO i got out some phones, i explained that when i was a teenager I used the landline: this meant to contact my friends i had to be in a certain place, at a certain time and so did they. I said sometimes thats what prayer seems like to people… we carried on through the phones ending with my blackberry to which i said, i can contact my friends all over the world, in many different ways and at all times, and thats how we can be with God, bell rings, quick prayer and they’re off!
Hi, just to let you know the Artcards are now available here: http://www.schoolswork.co.uk/schoolsworkplus/entry/artcard-series-1-where-is-god/.
Amy
Oops…well spotted! I’ve finished the lesson pack, and am just putting together a presentation to accompany the resource. Should be finished by this afternoon, although there are a few other urgent things going on today, sorry for the delay. I will notify you and post an update on the site when they’re ready to go.
Cheers
It’s the 22nd today and I can’t find the Artcards anywhere on the site :(
Nancy, having spoken to my printer this afternoon, this is totally possible if you’d like 100 (or more) of one design. Email me if you’d like to discuss this or give me a call tomorrow (details on ‘contact’ at top of page). Cheers, Amy
Hi Nancy, that’s a great question. Firstly, the cards will be available from Wednesday 21st July, do check out a preview here: http://www.schoolswork.co.uk/resourcetoolkit/entry/artcard-preview/.
Secondly, the Artcards are going to be sold in packs of 12, so your question about getting 100x single cards of #01 is an interesting one. We would recommend using the cards in the context of the whole set as they give you a wide range of approaches of how young people have answered this question, and come from a variety of backgrounds and beliefs.
We will ordinarily only sell these in packs of 12, however we can discuss possibilities on a case by case basis if it will be helpful. Once the packs are out, we could get them to you within a couple of days if you have a particular event.
Email me if you’d like to discuss this more: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
Thanks, Amy
I definitely want to order the artcards and would like them for an event in two weeks. What are the chances of me getting at least 100 x artcard #1?
thanks

Hi Debbie, be glad to help and advise you in any way I can. Quick question, is your assembly this week, or would it be ok to wait and have a conversation at the start of next week about this? I’m away with my team from tomorrow for a couple of days. Feel free to email me on .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
This looks absolutely brilliant - I would love to use it but unfortunately, I am stuck on the technical side - what is the best way to customise with the questions suggested. Any help and advise would be appreciated.
Thanks for flaggin this up wayne, I loved the poem at the end about treading soflty on children’s dreams. Worth a listen!

How to blog
First, some explanation about how membership works on schoolswork.co.uk.
If you’re not a member, you can’t create a new post on the blog, but you can comment on an existing posting. However, your comment will need to be approved by one of the editors at schoolswork.co.uk before it shows up on the site. This can take anywhere between a few minutes to a few hours (or days if we’re really busy!). We do this to prevent inappropriate or offensive material being posted.
If you register as a member, you can comment on existing posts and create your own new posts, but they will need to be approved in the same way.
Members can be upgraded to authors at any time. Authors can post immediately on the site without waiting for approval. We are happy to upgrade members to authors if you’ve posted a couple of times or if you or your organisation are known to us. We hope you understand the need to have some restrictions to safeguard the site in this way.
To submit a blog entry click on ‘post to blog’, and to comment on an existing blog post simply scroll down to the bottom of the post and fill in your comment in the box.
Happy blogging!

400 Year Anniversary of English Bible
I found out today that 2011 is the 400th anniversary of the bible being translated into English - there’s a good site promoting this with video clips and handy information at:
The BBC are due to produce a BBC2 documentary to mark the event next year also, all of which means there will be loads of resources and ideas for us schools workers to put something together to be used in our school sessions…go for it guys!
