In this weeks Gospel we have listened to the piece of scripture when two of Jesus’ friends were walking to the town of Emmaus and during their journey a man came and walked alongside them sharing pieces of scripture. At first His friends didn’t recognise Jesus, until they were sharing a meal with Him and Jesus broke the bread and their eyes were opened. During our prayer and liturgy led by the children we reflected on this and thought about how we can open our eyes to see Jesus too. The children spoke about how when they see people helping others they see Jesus and this is our mission this week! We children have also been busy in RE reflecting on Jesus’ story and worked together to create fantastic games to retell His life.
Going deeper in conversation
This week we have began our new My Happy Mind branch ‘Relate’ please discuss the following question at home, “Why do you think it’s important to be kind and talk to other people?”… What happens when we help someone?… How do we feel when someone listens to us?
Magic moments
This week had great excitement when we found a mystery time machine which had tipped our classroom upside down! The children were full of curiosity as they tried to discover the clues and come to their own predictions for who or what might have visited our classroom. The evidence we found were dinosaur footprints, lots of sticks and a very old letter explaining that they had come from the Stone Age. Using this evidence we narrowed it down to either a dinosaur, a caveman… even possibly a return from the Evil Pea. All great suggestions. Today we found even more evidence as the camera we set up caught a small dinosaur walking out of the Time Machine… Let’s see what happens next over the coming weeks!
We have also had ENRICHMENT this week. Our Year 1’s went to visit Mrs Lyons in her classroom and learnt some musical theatre skills!
