Take a look at Hebburn Lakes RE Day Autumn 2
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.
Reverend Ian came to visit us this morning. We talked about a story from the bible about Jesus and some of his friends. They were in the boat and there was a storm. His friends were very frightened. We talked about things that make us feel frightened. The children suggested some ideas such as exams, starting a new school etc. We then talked about what we could do if we feel frightened. The children had some great ideas such as tell a teacher, grandparents, family or a trusted adult. We then sang a song with him and our friends.
WOW!!! We have had some truly amazing entries for our decorated egg competition. The effort and creativity the children have applied to their designs are fantastic. Well done to all that have taken part!
