Worship
This week our ‘Creation and Covenant’ topic has continued with ‘God’s World is Good’. Our key words this week were GOOD, THANK YOU and WORLD.
We looked again at God’s wonderful world. God created the world and said, ‘Indeed it is very good’(Genesis 1:31). God’s world was beautiful and full of love.
We passed a candle around the circle and thanked God for something he had made. These included our family, the trees, the flowers and the sharks! We had a go at drawing some of these things on the interactive whiteboard. Our pictures were beautiful and look lovely in our Worship book. Take a look at our beautiful picture of all the wonderful things God created for us.
One Million children praying the Rosary
One Million Children Praying the Rosary is a global prayer initiative inspired by St. Padre Pio’s vision of children changing the world through prayer. St. Padre Pio, believed that “when one million children pray the Rosary, the world will change,”
On Tuesday afternoon the we joined children all around the world praying the Rosary. We all made a prayer pebble to put in our prayer garden and also our own Rosary.
We prayed the Rosary using our fingers by counting each prayer by moving to a different finger for each prayer. We started with an Our Father, then three Hail Mary’s and a Glory Be. We took Mary into the garden and placed her in the special grotto we had made for her. Mrs. Gregan and some of our School Governors came to join us.
It was so moving it nearly reduced Mrs. Gregan to tears!
Our Learning this week…
A lovely week in the garden! Gardening club has been tidying up the planting boxes and sweeping the leaves after a very blustery weekend!
We have been doing lots of sound spotting (m,a,s,t,d), subitising numbers 1-3 (subitising is the ability to see small quantities of objects and instantly know how many there are without counting, a fundamental skill in developing mathematical understanding. We are getting extremely good! We love to play the spotty game, ask your child about it!
To make our sorting games even more tricky we have been playing ‘Guess my Rule’. The children are asked to identify how groups have been sorted by identifying similarities between the objects. They then had to sort the objects based on their own criteria. This was tricky! We are going to continue this game next week!
After an Autumn walk in Forest School we were inspired to make Autumn colour collages. They are so beautiful, I will put a picture of our display on the blog next week.
