Good Morning, Reception.
On Monday, we were learning about what happened after Jesus died and rose again at Easter.
Read the story to find out what happened next:
You can also watch a simpler version of the story here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IqG_lvZhU-A
After Jesus died and rose again, He appeared to His disciples and many others. As the time drew near for Jesus to go back to His Father in heaven, the disciples began to realise that spreading the Good News of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection to the whole world was going to be a big job. “Go therefore and make disciples of the whole world,” Jesus told them. “I am with you always, to the end of time.” Then, the heavens opened up and Jesus rose up into the sky until they could not see Him any more.
The disciples stood there, gazing up into the sky. At first, they were sad, but two angels came and spoke to them, saying, “Don’t worry. Jesus will come again someday.” The disciples knew what they had to do. Their job now was to spread the Good News to all the people around the world.
It was the festival of Pentecost and Jerusalem was full of people. The disciples needed to get away to find a quiet place to pray. Before Jesus had left, He told them that a “helper” would come. Who was this helper? Jesus had said, “The helper is the Holy Spirit of God.” He would make them feel strong. The disciples didn’t understand all of this yet. All they knew to do was pray.
As they were praying, they heard a sound, faint at first, but growing louder and louder. It sounded like a huge rushing wind. The sound was all around them, filling the entire house. Then suddenly, as they looked around in wonder, small flames of fire appeared on their heads. It didn’t hurt, it just shone brightly. The Holy Spirit had arrived. The disciples could speak in languages that they had never learned. They were filled with burning joy and felt incredibly brave. The time had come to break out of their room and tell the world the glorious message!
They rushed out into the streets where there were thousands of people. Peter began to speak. “Listen to me,” he shouted. Then he told all the people about Jesus. Thousands of people listened as Peter told them why Jesus died. People from all around the world heard Peter’s words in their own languages. They were amazed.
The people said, “What Good News!” That day, 3,000 people were brought into God’s family and were baptised. It was a beautiful beginning to a wonderful new life for them. Everyone was in shock at the wonders and miracles. All they could do, day after day, was talk to God and praise Him. (Acts 2: 1-6)
Think about these questions:
-
What happened ?
-
How did the disciples (friends of Jesus) feel?
-
What did the disciples do after the coming of the Holy Spirit?
You can choose how to show your learning:
-
You could act out, use toys or make puppets to retell the story.
-
You could make a fire picture, painting or collage.
-
You could dress up in fire coloured clothes or make a fire hat.
-
You could make up a fire dance to retell the story.
I am looking forward to hearing all about it.
Love from Miss Siswick

Jesus disciples were praying when some wind and fire appeared, it was Jesus spirit. They all started speaking different languages, the villagers heard them praying and when they came to see what what happening they were told the Holy spirit was here to save them. The disciples started to speak languages they never learnt. They felt amazed and brave.
After the Holy spirit came Jesus disciples told everyone about Jesus. They healed people who we sick, blind and could not walk.
Well done, James. I love your words ‘amazed’ and ‘brave’ to describe how the disciples were feeling.
All of Jesus’s friends were praying in a big room. Then fire came too and that was Jesus’s spirit. Then they talked in different languages and the people talked in different languages. And then the people went to Jesus’s friends. Jesus’s friends helped other people like the man with the broom on his leg. They helped him to see again.
Well done, Rocco. You listened carefully to the story about the Holy Spirit.

Marcus enjoyed drawing a Pentecost picture and cutting out flames.
He wrote his answers to the questions in his home learning book.
We sent photos.
Well done, Marcus. I love the way that you have included the dove, the fire and the disciples in your Pentecost picture.
After Jesus rose up to heaven his disciples were praying and the holy came to them like Jesus promised. It made them speak different languages and make miracles. One miracle was when John and Peter went into the temple and there was a man who couldn’t walk and one of them did a miracle and made him walk again.
Well done, Mikey. The Holy Spirit came, just as Jesus had promised.
The disciples were praying in Jerusalem. They saw fire above their heads and they started to speak new languages. The Holy Spirit descended on them. They started to tell the story of Jesus to the world and to do miracles.
Well done, Cesar. I love your picture and the way you have used different materials for the disciples and the flames.
All the disciples were praying when the Holy Spirit came down to them like fire and then they were happy and surprised when they could talk about Jesus in different languages.
