What do the miracles of Jesus teach us about what is important to Christians?

Magic vs Miracles

We began our lesson today by making objects disappear, it was very exciting! this led us perfectly into our next guiding question exploring the miracles Jesus performed. We discovered that a miracle is an event that goes against nature, cannot be explained and Christians believe they are caused by God. to help us understand this we listened to a story in the Bible, Jesus feeding 5000 people with five loaves and two fish.

We then created our own fish and imagined trying to feed 5000 people with it. It seemed impossible!

Leaning tower of feetza 👟🥿

10th October 2023Sarah Mcglone

This morning during crew, we worked as a team to build a tower using only our shoes. We decided that it would be best to put boots at the bottom because they are the heaviest and if they went on the top they would topple the tower over. Once we had put the boots at the base of our tower, we carefully added the other shoes to see how tall we could make it. There were a couple of times where it fell over but we showed great resilience and teamwork to build it back up again, sometimes in the same way, others in a different way to try something new. During our debrief, we talked about how we could have approached the challenge differently. We said that our tower would have been taller and stronger if we had more shoes and we also said that we could have worked a little slower to be even more careful when adding shoes to the top.

Great work Crew MW!

Silly to Calm 🧘🏻😌

9th October 2023Sarah Mcglone

Continuing with our work on feelings, today we looked at feeling excited. We talked about how feeling excited is a good feeling but sometimes, excitement can lead to feeling or being silly. In times where we might feel like this, there are lots of ways in which to calm down. We followed a song on YouTube this morning to go from silly to calm. Afterwards, we talked about how we were feeling – we said calm, happy, and peaceful.

Why is Jesus important to Christians?

6th October 2023Laura Godley

Today we explored who Jesus was and why he is a significant person in the Christian faith.

We discovered that Jesus taught Christains that we should show kindness and love to all people, just like our ‘Be Kind’ HoWL, regardless of where they come from or the situation in which they might find themselves. We thought about how we can show kindness and used our conversation protocols to have some lovely discussions on how we should treat our friends and neighbours.

Oliver said ‘It does not matter what we look like, we are all the same.’ Koa explained that he helps his neighbour by looking after pets when they are not home. Leyland also said that he shows kindness by helping his neighbours by getting shopping for them when they are too poorly to go out.

Multicultural week – Italy

6th October 2023Ruth Shields

This week we have been learning about Italy with it being multicultural week. This also fits in with our expedition because it’s allowed us to explore the country in more detail and discover things such as their food and language.
We really enjoyed learning about the famous dances which believe it or not came about because of someone being bitten by a tarantula.
