Next week in RE

We will be looking at the story of the Visitation when an angel told Elizabeth that she was going to have a baby too!

How did she feel when she heard the amazing news? Here are some of the sentences we might talk about.

'I felt petrified because I did not know what was happening when I saw a bright light'

'I felt special when I realised that God had chosen me.'

We will look at how Mary went to stay with Elizabeth and they talked about their news.

Today we made our own clocks to help us tell the time to the nearest five minutes.

This week our literacy homework is to learn our Nativity songs.

Here are two videos to help you with the tunes!!

This Sunday is the First Sunday of Advent.
