A very festive song!

Coming up in RE

In RE we will be talking about the Messiah and the Jesse Tree.

Jesse Trees date back to the middle ages. Even some ancient cathedrals have Jesse Tree designs in their stained glass windows.

The idea for a Jesse Tree is inspired from Isaiah 11:1, "A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a branch will bear fruit." (Jesse was the father of King David.)

In Matthew chapter one, the Messiah, Jesus, is traced from the line of King David, and back to Abraham.

Can you make a suitable decoration for a Jesse tree at home?

We will look at this every day!

Don't forget to follow your Walk With Me Calendar and Booklet!

Have a look at it EVERY day and there will be house points for those children who know what is on the Calendar each morning!

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!!
