Take a look at the fabulous activities the children took part in on RE Day this week!
In RE this term year one have been learning about how important it is to belong to something such as family, class or community and how it is to feel accepted amongst these groups. We then looked at how Christians often gather in community groups at church for things such as weddings, christenings and baptisms. One Red then decided to have their own baptism in class, discussing the whole process and the important people involved. The children learnt the importance of togetherness and celebration and how that is a vital part in belonging.
Reverend Ian came to visit us this morning. We talked about a story from the bible about Jesus and some of his friends. They were in the boat and there was a storm. His friends were very frightened. We talked about things that make us feel frightened. The children suggested some ideas such as exams, starting a new school etc. We then talked about what we could do if we feel frightened. The children had some great ideas such as tell a teacher, grandparents, family or a trusted adult. We then sang a song with him and our friends.
WOW!!! We have had some truly amazing entries for our decorated egg competition. The effort and creativity the children have applied to their designs are fantastic. Well done to all that have taken part!
In RE year one have focusing on the Easter story and the true meaning behind Easter. We looked at Palm Sunday and sequenced the story, made posters about Maundy Thursday and the Last Supper, then we made Easter cards using a stained glass window effect with a cross to symbolise Jesus being crucified on the cross on Good Friday. The children were truly fascinated about the story and learning about new life and the resurrection, and how it linked to getting chocolate eggs from the Easter Bunny.
Reception have been very busy enjoying the fabulous sunny weather! They have also made some fabulous Easter craft!
We had a visit this morning from Reverend Ian who is based at St. John’s church. He talked about how it is Mother’s Day this weekend. We discussed how mams, nanas , carers and important women are so special in our lives. The children then gave examples of how they are helped from our special people. We then sang a song ❤️
Reception had a fabulous World Book Day! We dressed up as lots of our favourite characters and made some amazing story boxes We had an amazing time exploring all of our activities.
A very busy Spring 1 RE day at Hebburn Lakes!
