Puffins class explored our thought for the week about mighty oaks by looking around our school grounds to find items that will grow into mighty oaks.  The children enjoyed finding many items in God's wonderful environment he has given us!  We then thought about what we may grow to be by the end of the school year.

For thought of the week this week, we focused on hope and what hope others may have. We looked at some different pictures and discussed with the people in them would be hoping for.

We discussed having hope, and that we can achieve anything we set our mind to, both by having faith in God or faith in ourselves. We watched the story ‘Tilda Tries Again’ to remind ourselves that mistakes are fine, and we can always have another go!

We were then set a challenge, to make an origami boat from a set of instructions but without any help from our adults. We struggled and some of us became frustrated. We came back together to try again, using a video and each other to help us, and had much more success. We saw that anything is possible!

In our Class Worship the children heard the story of 'Paul Survives a Shipwreck'. A storm tore apart the ship but just as an Angel had prophesied to Paul, everyone survived the shipwreck. The children discussed their ideas and thoughts on the story and then acted in out. Here are some photos of our drama.
