Worship

This week in Worship we have concluded our ‘Galilee to Jerusalem’ topic. Our key words this week were WELCOME, JESUS and CARE.

We began by recapping our story from last week, about Jesus feeding the 5000. Jesus loves and cares for everyone. He welcomed everyone and taught us to share what we have with others. We showed how well we know the story by working out the missing parts and ordered the pictures in the correct order.

You could have a think about these questions at home –

‘When Jesus shared his food with his friends, how was he showing love?’

‘How do you feel when you help someone?’

‘How can we show love to someone we don’t know very well?’

Our child led worship on Thursday also focused on loving others. We heard words from John 3:18 – ‘Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth’. We spoke about how we can show love through our actions. We can be kind, loving, we can share. We passed a hug around our circle – this made us all smile! How can you share your love at home?

We finished with the song ‘My Lighthouse’ – why not play it at home and see if your child can remember the actions – we love it! Click here

Lenten boxes

We soon will be starting our journey to the cross, preparing ourselves for a time of solemnity and self-reflection where we recognise our failings and resolve to live a more godly life based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. During Lent, we are going to be focused on "almsgiving," which means donating money or goods to the poor and performing other acts of charity.

As in previous years we ask that each child decorate a Lenten box which they can swap with a child from our partner class (yr3). Then, during the Lenten period your child can perform acts of kindness, helpfulness and generosity for a donation into their box. We will then return them to school and donate the money to Cafod.

It is important that each child decorates and brings in a Lenten box to ensure that each child in year three will receive a box. Thank you as always for your support.

Please bring you decorated box back to nursery straight after the holidays for swapping

Learning Landscape

Another busy week!

In our learning landscape this week we have been:

Practising numbers to 8

Practising our sounds AND learning some new ones, e, l, h, sh and r. Some children have also started to Fred Talk using the sounds that they have already learnt! Fantastic!!!

Reading a Bubbly Troubly story and decided to make lots of bubbles and use soap to see if they would ‘pop’ and disappear! The recipe in the book was ‘bubbles + (block) soap = pop’! We did make lots and lots of bubbles but…..they didn’t pop! They just made more bubbles!

Begun to notice the start of new life in our garden everyone has painted a observation painting of some daffodils
