Worship
This week in Worship we have continued our ‘Galilee to Jerusalem’ topic. Our key words this week were LOAVES AND FISH, BASKET and JESUS.
We listened to the story of Feeding the 5000, John 6: 1-14. The story reminds us that Jesus wanted everyone to be fed, not just His friends. We passed round a basket of paper fish to represent Jesus feeding us all and then decorated our fish for our worship book. We remembered our word from last week – miracle. It was a miracle that there was enough food for everyone.
Our child led worship focused on looking at an image of Jesus. We noticed that Jesus was with some children. Some of us said that Jesus looked like he was helping the children. We thought about the question – ‘What do I want to say to God?’. Some of us thanked Him for family and friends, another child asked Him to look after the world. We also asked the question – ‘What scripture does the image remind you of?’ I explained that scripture is words from the Bible and teachings about God. The children said, Amen, The name of the Father, love and caring for each other.

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.
I fear its going to be wet and chilly this weekend so wrap warm and get those wellies on!
Stay safe and God bless
