It was a very wet Forest School session, but the children still had lots of fun!

We then closed our eyes and focused on our hearing and all the sounds we could hear. After this we discussed our Christian value this half term, which is trust. We Read more
Last week, year 6 looked and discussed the term ‘trust’. We looked at the story of Jesus walking on water and this meant he trusted God and how his disciples trusted him.

They learnt some of the lyrics and had a go at singing along. In addition to this, they also played some notes from the song on the glockenspiel. Each week they will be learning more notes, until hopefully they can play the whole tune. Watch this space!
Today, we looked at Bible stories about forgiveness and reconciliation. We looked at the lost son, the lost sheep, the lost coin and the unforgiving servant. We discussed what the stories meant and how we can use Jesus’ teachings of forgiveness in our lives today.
