In class we have been discussing what it must have been like when Jesus lived on earth. What did the homes look like? What clothing did the people wear? What kinds of food did they eat?
After researching these questions we re-created our own first century biblical meal. Jesus told many parables during meal times, this was a wonderful opportunity to re-visit the parable of the Lost Sheep.
We headed off to Margam Park ready to explore and gather interesting things. We found lots of leaves, pine cones and acorns. The leaves made a super abacus, we recognised the number on the abacus sheet and added the correct amount of leaves.
The children gathered twigs during Wellie Wednesday.
They organised the twigs and grouped them according to their size to make a boat. ⛵️. The boats were placed in the water and we discussed floating and sinking.
The children have been discovering their senses. They have been focusing on their sense of smell. They carefully cut herbs in the sensory garden, chose what they favoured and made a room fragrance using a pestle and mortar.
Nursery children exploring our locality in search for conkers.
We reflected on our RE topic Good News. The children sang and performed along with the chime bars to Holy Spirit Fills Me Up.
Jesus was lost, when Mary and Joseph found him at the temple, Jesus said to them ‘I belong in my Father’s House.
This story teaches us how to forgive and love like Jesus.
We listened to the story, as it unfolded we added the different animals. We discussed the promise God made to the people. It was a promise never to flood the earth again. Genesis 9
The children dressed in costumes from around the world. We explored Indian cultural dances.
