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!
In RE year one have focusing on the Easter story and the true meaning behind Easter. We looked at Palm Sunday and sequenced the story, made posters about Maundy Thursday and the Last Supper, then we made Easter cards using a stained glass window effect with a cross to symbolise Jesus being crucified on the cross on Good Friday. The children were truly fascinated about the story and learning about new life and the resurrection, and how it linked to getting chocolate eggs from the Easter Bunny.
Reception have been very busy enjoying the fabulous sunny weather! They have also made some fabulous Easter craft!
We had a visit this morning from Reverend Ian who is based at St. John’s church. He talked about how it is Mother’s Day this weekend. We discussed how mams, nanas , carers and important women are so special in our lives. The children then gave examples of how they are helped from our special people. We then sang a song ❤️
Reception had a fabulous World Book Day! We dressed up as lots of our favourite characters and made some amazing story boxes We had an amazing time exploring all of our activities.
A very busy Spring 1 RE day at Hebburn Lakes!
Today in RE, we discussed and explored why Lent is important to Christians. We discussed what Lent is and created a booklet all about Lent. Then, we created some artwork, using water colours to create a sunset background with a silhouette of cross to represent the cross that Jesus died on.
We had an assembly with Reverend Ian from St John’s church. Today he talked to the children about break time. He recalled a story from the New Testament regarding the day of Sabbath. He talked about how the day of Sabbath is a day of rest, time to recharge and how beneficial it is. He then discussed whether we should also do jobs, relating it to Jesus helping people on the Sabbath day. We talked about Jesus healing people and helping others. How we could also help people during our breaks? The children came up with some fabulous ideas of how we can help each other during our breaks. Suggestions such as helping people who are lonely by playing with them, if someone is hurt then make sure they are ok or get them some help, let people join in with games or agree to play a few different games so everyone gets to choose their own ideas. We then had a school prayer and sang a song.
For RE day, we explored the question ‘ Why do Christians call Jesus the light of the world?’ We started off by reading the story about Jesus healing a blind man, then we discussed the significance of Christingles for Christians. Lastly, we created stain glass windows to represent how Christians may view Jesus as the light of the world.
