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.
