Take a look at our RE Day for Spring 1!
Last week we had a visit from Reverend Ian from St John’s church. He talked about when you get a gift and how you have to look after it. People believe we are a gift from God. It is also believed that light is a gift from God and that it is good. He then discussed light, such as the sun and the moon. How the sun affects seasons and how the moon affects the sea. After that Reverend Ian said that we shine a light and we need to shine our light on others. He asked the children how we could brighten up someone’s day? Some suggestions were play with your friends, share, give someone a hug, make someone laugh and be kind to everyone. Finally, he shared a prayer about our school.
In year 4 we have been learning about ‘Why Christians believe that Jesus is the light of The World’. The children acted out the story of ‘The Blind Man’ and created stained glass windows showing ‘light’ as symbolism.
We had a visit from Reverend Ian this morning. He talked to the children about a special event called Remembrance Day. The children discussed what it means to be a great person. They then talked about special places and how every cemetery has a special place called the War Cemetery and War Memorial. He then explained Jesus said greatness is what you give. So we need to help each other. They children then gave ideas of how we could all be helpful.
We have been learning about the early life of Moses and the importance of the story of the burning bush. We also looked at the importance of Hanukkah and Passover in Jewish life.
This morning we had a visit from Reverend Ian at St John’s church. He talked about how God created people in his image. He talked about how people are special and how you see their images on coins etc. He then talked about how everyone is special, how we have to treat everyone with kindness and look after everyone.
Take a look at the fabulous activities the children took part in on RE Day this week!
In RE this term year one have been learning about how important it is to belong to something such as family, class or community and how it is to feel accepted amongst these groups. We then looked at how Christians often gather in community groups at church for things such as weddings, christenings and baptisms. One Red then decided to have their own baptism in class, discussing the whole process and the important people involved. The children learnt the importance of togetherness and celebration and how that is a vital part in belonging.
