This week in both our RE and liturgy, the focus has been on reflecting upon the messages of John the Baptist and how these relate to Advent. Children in Re reflected on how we are called by John to ‘Repent,’ in Advent and ‘Make your paths straight,’ so that we can allow God that is goodness to enter in. Children have thought about what Advent means to them and how they too can grow to be a better person towards Jesus. Our children led a beautiful worship all about the story of Jesus meeting the sisters Martha and Mary. Martha is angry because her sister is listening to Jesus whilst she does all the work. However, Jesus reminds her that Mary is doing the most important thing - listening to the Lord. It reminded us that at this busy time of year, we need to spend quiet time with God and focus on what is truly important.
In HRSE this week, children learned how to behave if there was an emergency - things like dialling 999, quick reactions, remaining calm and reassuring any injured people came up. Th
In other news: We have had a very busy week, analysing fairy tales in English and learning how to write description and dialogue. We made ice-cream in Science - by lowering the melting point of the ice - by adding salt. There were mixed results - some children ended up with milkshake and some with Mr. Whippy - but all agreed it was tasty!
Here are some pictures of our travelling nativity:
