This week, in Religious Education, we have been continuing our learning in our ‘Good News’ topic.
Today we listened to the story of Pentecost…
After Jesus had gone back to his Father in heaven, his friends were sad. They missed him. They felt lonely and afraid without him. On Pentecost day, they were all together in the house. They began to feel different. Joy and happiness filled their hearts. It was wonderful! They knew that Jesus had kept his promise to send a new friend, the Holy Spirit.
After listening to the story, we talked about how Jesus’ friends would have felt during the coming of the Holy Spirit and tried hard to explain our ideas.
We made our own flame collages to represent the Holy Spirit and chose a word to write to describe how Jesus’ friends felt. We added them each to our special ‘Good News’ display in class.
Reception, what did the friends of Jesus do after the coming of the Holy Spirit?
The disciples were joyful, because Jesus promised that he would send the holy spirit. He said I will never leave you alone. He sent the holy spirit and the people were very happy and joyful. The disciples told others that they had the holy spirit. Jesus sent down a dove, which means peaceful. 🦄❤️🔥🔥🕊️
