This week, we have been learning about the baptism of Jesus. We started off the week by comparing the stories in the gospels of Luke and Matthew and then took part in lots of different activities , such as hot-seating characters from the story, creating story maps and performing our own dramas so that we could really get to know the story. At the end of the week, we wrote the story in our own words and we are very proud of our storytelling!
Take a look at our photos to find out more.
