This Sunday is Good Shepherd Sunday and in the Gospel reading we listen to the parable Jesus told His disciples about the good shepherd. Jesus is the Good Shepherd and we have been thinking carefully about how we can be good followers of Him. In RE we have been learning all about the word ‘Ascension’ and we now know that this means to go up, and that is exactly what Jesus did, He went you to be with His father in Heaven, leaving the apostles to continue the work of Jesus. “Christ has no body but yours, No hands, no feet on earth but yours, Yours are the eyes with which he looks Compassion on this world,” The children have thought of many wonderful ways that we can be Jesus’ body and help to care for everyone.
Going deeper in conversation
This week we have been thinking about the internet and how it can bring everybody together, The children enjoyed sharing the things they like to do using the internet and how these things make them feel. We also spoke about how God wants us to feel happy, both in our real lives and our online lives. Continue this conservation at home: Who can we talk to if something upsets us online?
Magic moments
This week had such fun with Miss Charnley, who taught the children all about following instructions when introducing the new computing unit. The children gave Miss Charnley instructions for how to make her jam sandwich… At first these instructions led Miss Charley to make a rather unusual sandwich. As the children became more specific they were able to help her to create the perfect sandwich. The children then partnered up and gave each other instructions to make their own sandwiches, which they very much enjoyed eating!
