Sharing our Faith
 Currently in Year Three we are studying 'Jesus Shares His Gifts'. The children are developing their understanding of the importance of sharing our gifts so to serve others. Whilst investigating the unit the children have been encouraged to think about the consequences of our actions when we decide to share or not to share our gifts. This is a good lead up to the children preparing for Reconciliation later in the year as it helps them understand that every choice we make has either a positive or negative consequence, not only for ourselves but for the people around us.
During this unit the children were introduced to the scripture story 'Jesus Calms the Storm' from Luke's gospel. After discussing and exploring the scripture the children were given the opportunity to retell the story and share it with Year One. It was a great way to allow the children to share their gift of storytelling with younger students. Lucy, Alexander, Rozanne and George wrote a blog about it. You can find it below.

Today, in Religion, we are making some puppets for 'Jesus calms the storm'. We found the story in Luke Chapter 8 verse 22-25. The puppets were made by making little people and gluing them to a paddle pop stick. We are moving the puppets when we retell the story to Year One.

Sharing with Year One.

We used our puppets to retell the story.

Luke 8:22-15 -Jesus Calms the Storm

We enjoyed sharing with small groups of Year One children.
