Pentecost: The celebration of the Good News of Jesus
During Come and See the children explored ‘Pentecost’. We created windmills to represent that the Holy Spirit is just like the wind; although we cannot see it, its power is all around us. We also read Luke’s story of Pentecost based on Acts 2:1-4.
Come and See: Pentecost
The children and I started our new topic of by reading the‘ The Jolly Postman’. We gathered letters, cards, photographs and certificates. This allowed the children to recall on moments where they felt proud. The children were so proud of their achievements as they appreciated their good news with friends. We also sang ‘If You’re Happy and You Know It’ to represent how we felt when we shared our achievements.

Holy Week
Sister Bridget loved being with Reception this morning. Sister Bridget was blown away with all the beautiful manners and kindness. The children shared their knowledge and learning all about Holy Week. We gathered together to pray and thank Jesus for sacrificing everything he did for us and as we go forth, we will remember to live like Jesus.

Prayer and Liturgy
During Prayer and Liturgy this term Reception have been exploring the meaning behind ‘Growing’. Lent is a time to grow in love to be more like Jesus and to look forward to Easter. We have been looking at how things grow in nature and the signs of new life all around us John 19: 25-27.
