We started the lesson with the big question – How do we experience God’s love and forgiveness in our lives. Then we listened carefully and discussed the Parable of the Good Samaritan. After that we split into small groups and acted out the story. Then we ended with ideas of how we could be a ‘Good Samaritan’ in modern times.
To start the month of October, Year 2 made their very own Rosary bracelets on Friday. October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary and the children look forward to saying the Rosary together throughout the month.
We have been looking at and talking about some pictures of Jesus and his friends. We are all Jesus’ friends! We drew a picture of ourselves and placed them next to Jesus.
Today we gathered with our school family to take part in a Pentecost parade. We listened to the word and prayed together as a family. We then presented our offerings, representing the fruits of the Holy Spirit, in our Gospel Garden. We spent time preparing our focal point as a class. After Collective Worship we celebrated the coming of the Holy Spirit with a Pentecost Party. Pentecost is often named as the ‘birthday of the Church’. We share our happiness and joy because we celebrate the Good News of Jesus who kept his promise and sent the Holy Spirit to be our friend.
In Nursery we have been preparing for Pentecost. We have been talking about the Holy Spirit and how you cannot always see him, but can feel him, just like the wind.
We’ve also been preparing for the Pentecost Parade and have been talking about the fruit of the Spirit – Love.
