Prayer

Today we thought about prayer.

We discussed times when we pray, how we pray and where we pray.

Younis said, 'prayer is an opportunity to tell God about our life'.

Sadie said,' prayer is when we spend time on our own with god'.

Piera said ' speak to God in our own special time'.

Campbell said, ' when you feel sad and lonely, speak to God and you will probably feel better!'

Next lesson, we want to think about:

-writing our own special prayers (Taleesha)

-sharing in talk partners about how we pray (Cara)

-knowing how to pray better (Robbie)

Let's see if we can!!
