Dear parents,
As part of our Relationships and Health teaching the children discovered how God created the world and why the Bible is so special.
Last week we read the story of creation and talked about how our bodies were created by God. We are all God’s children and part of his special plan.
The children learnt the following song ‘If I were a Butterfly’
You may wish to share the following class prayer at home:
Dear God,
You made our amazing world and all the amazing things in it.
Thank you for making me and loving me.
Help us to take care of ourselves and the world.
Amen.
This week the children began to understand that the Bible is special because we are all in it and part of God’s family. In the Bible we hear stories about Jesus and that still has meaning for us today.
We acted out a story from the Bible, Jesus and his disciples during the Last Supper. I washed the children’s feet to show the children how Jesus is our role model. Jesus is showing us a way of behaving, he showed love to his disciples and he wants us to show that love to others.
The children made some great suggestions about how they can show love to others “You can take turns”, “You help tidy up”, “Look after someone who is sad”. I made a suggestion that you can give someone a smile.
You may wish to share the following class prayer at home:
Dear Jesus,
Thank you for being my perfect role model.
Thank you for loving me.
Help me to share that love with others.
Amen
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend in God’s amazing world.
