Hello!
What a change we have had, the first day of Spring has now come and gone with snow!! Don't we live in a funny world!!
Had a good week though been battling a little with bugs going round, I'd really appreciate your prayers, I've been feeling quite under the weather and I have a busy week coming! Apart from that I had an excellent assembly yesterday with yrs 5 and 6 at Parkway which was certainly loud and entertaining!! The kids showed a lot of interest in Rock Solid too which is very promising!
So this coming week...
Tuesday: Mentoring at Chalkstone Middle.
Wednesday: Samuel Ward yr11 RE day, I'll be spending the morning speaking to 8 groups about my testimony so each pupils hears why I am a Christian and what that means to my life! Great opportunity!
I also have a meeting with Rob Ryan from Youth For Christ to just see what's going on and fill in YFC about what's happening in HSI.
Friday: Mudflaps.
I'll have lots of planning to finalise bits for next term so it's going to be a good week.
I won't be blogging again til after Easter as I am taking holiday from Monday 2nd April-Thursday 5th but will be away over the bank holiday too. So for now and far ahead have a very special Easter! And I'll be back for an exciting term ahead!

Hello.
Been a good week, and have particularly enjoyed the sunny weather!
So the look for next week:
Wednesday: mentoring followed later for a panel meeting about the progress of the mentoring.
Thursday: Yr 6 assembly at Parkway Middle on an Easter theme, more races to eat Cream Eggs!

Though it looks a quiet week I am planning some things for Samuel Ward as I'm involved in an RE day soon and I have some planning to be doing for the up and coming Rock Solid.
Hopefully be a good and productive week. Have a great weekend.

Hello.
So next week is looking a little like this;
Tuesday; starting with an assembly on an Easter theme for yrs 7 and 8 at Parkway so that I too can promote the soon to be running Rock Solid.
Also starting a Christian Union at Castle Manor that lunch time, the first one so hopefully we can see where it will go and what they want from it.
I have the last yr5 RE lesson on Stories that afternoon at Chalkstone too.
Friday; A group of students from Castle Manor are going to be looking around the Methodist Church to help them understand about churches which I will be joining them with before going to Mudflaps in Kedington.
Please pray for contact, I have been really struggling to get contact with some schools, lots of promised calls back and not receiving any so please pray that I'll be able to speak to those I really need to speak to, especially at Castle Hill. Thank you.
Have a good weekend.

Hello.Been a busy week and I can finally say I have now moved in to our new office at Samuel Ward! It's warmer and brighter and I can learn German while I work (I'm next to the German class rooms!!). It's been hard work moving boxes around but finally we're here. So that is one mission complete!
This week has been good all round, having had some really successful lesson with the year 5's at Chalkstone, they have been so much fun!
I have also just had a meeting at Parkway Middle and have some exciting news which I have been waiting for. We have a Rock Solid group...the first of many I hope. it will start from the summer term to give time for publicity etc. It will be a lunch time club at the school for anyone who wants to join me in my silly games and a short talk. Rock Solid material is great and I really pray the room will be so big that the club has to move rooms or be put on twice a week! I do need help though and if you or anyone you know might want to sit in on the club...you don't have to get involved if you don't want, I would really appreciate an extra body on a Thursday lunch for only half an hour. E-mail me if you're interested. haverhillschoolsinitiative@gmail.com
Next week I hope to be a part of Castle Manor's 6th form RE day on Tuesday, though still waiting to hear more about this.
I also have mentoring at Chalkstone.
Other than that I will be planning for assemblies to promote RS and planning the club!
Please do gt in touch if you want to get involved with RS. Have a great weekend.

Hello.
Hoping you have had a good week. I have been busy planning lessons this week as well as my final yr 10 lesson on Prejudice at Castle Manor which went well.
Yesterday I was at a meeting with Church leaders about HOPE 08, a year of mission across the UK, if you've not heard about it I urge you to take a look at the website for it, http://www.hope08.com/
So this week coming! On Sunday I will be 'promoting' if that's the best word the work of HSI at Haverhill Methodist Church to make people aware of what's happening, especially now Matt has left and I arrived. I'll be working round the churches over the coming months.
Monday, Tuesday and Thursday are full of lessons at Chalkstone Middle with the yr 5's as we look at Stories and I will be teaching them about the Easter Story so please pray for an openness and enjoyment in the lesson!
Hopefully the big office move is happening next week also, I have a little office at Samuel Ward which is now ready for me.
A busy week which I hope will be great fun not only for me but for those in the classes too!
Have a great week.

Hello,
I trust you have had a good week. Half term has been busy, started off with a Valentine's talk at the Methodist Church on Sunday morning and one lucky couple won a meal out for 2 in Haverhill after winning my quiz..I do hope they enjoyed their Pot Noodle!
Just had the final morning of holiday club, 'Going Bananas' at Haverhill Methodist church. It's been a really good few days and the children left wanting more which always feels like a positive sign to me. We had about 40-50 kids each morning, we jetted off to banana Island where the kids sang songs, played games and learnt about Jamima, Zacheaus and Noah! Hopefully some will come along to the family service on Sunday morning.
So next week back to schools, I will be back to my mentoring in Chalkstone Middle and writing lessons for the year 5 RE lessons.
I have the final year 10 RE lesson at Castle Manor on Wednesday morning.
So as term gets going again, plans will keep taking shape. Hope you have a good weekend.

Half term week
Hello.
Hope you are all well and enjoying the snow! I always find it amusing that the UK can't cope with a couple of inches of snow!
Had a good week this week. Had three lessons at Castle Manor and after a very bad start I was thanking God because a girl approached me afterwards asking for a Bible! Certainly something to be thankful for!
Also had a few extra things going on and after a meeting with the Haverhill Echo I discovered an article on HSI and me on Thursday though they managed to completely omit the word 'Christianity' from the whole thing!!
Next week, well as you may know it's half term, so I have a series of lessons on the story of Easter at Chalkstone middle after the holidays so I will be planning that as well as being involved in the Haverhill Methodist holiday club, 'Going Bananas'. So looks like a fun week. Please be praying for the club which runs Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning.
I hope you have a fun weekend! I will be watching the rugby, so we need no more snow!!!!!!
