This morning the children learned about the story of Jesus feeding the 5000. We discussed how we would have felt if Jesus shared out our lunch to thousands of people, and we considered the things Jesus might say to us. Jack shared out some breadsticks with the class as we thought about this story.
Year 1 - RE - Epiphany
In Year 1, we have been learning about Epiphany and particularly about the Festival Of The Three Kings that is celebrated in Spain. The children learnt that in Spain they eat an Epiphany cake with a tiny figurine of Jesus or a king hidden inside, as well as a black bean. If they get the figurine in their slice of cake then they get to be king for the day. If they get the bean, they have to pay for the cake! We decided to all be kings and queens and made beautiful crowns to wear.
Year 5 Worship - Praying as we put on Holy Clothes!
We pretended to put on Holy Clothes as we said our prayer in class worship this morning: socks of compassion, the vest of kindness, the hat of humility, the gloves of gentleness and the pyjamas of patience!

Year 3 R.E. - Asking Important Questions About Religion and Beliefs
We looked at the image of the Vicar who had just been ordained by the Bishop. We discussed what it means to be ordained and the role that the Vicar has within the Church community. We then compared this with the role of a Rabbi in Judaism and the Imam in Islam.
