Summer - Week 4

Religious Education (R.E)

Word of the Week – Stillness

Please visit YouTube to view our word of the week video on Stillness. Reflect this week by praying the finger labyrinth prayer. You will need a paper labyrinth, either printed from below or drawn and somewhere peaceful to sit. Sit quietly and think about God. Place your finger at the beginning of the labyrinth and follow the path to the centre of the labyrinth. Reflect about what God might be saying to you. You could say a prayer; saying sorry or thanking God for something. Just as we follow a path on the labyrinth we are following a path on our journey with God every day. It is important to find time to sit quietly and reflect on this.

Pentecost – Serving- Good News

Week Commencing-Monday 11^th May

Recognise that Christians are happy at Pentecost and go to church to celebrate the Good News. AT1 (iii)

This week I would like children to explore Pentecost as a celebration. Please share the All about Pentecost PowerPoint provided with your child. Talk about how Catholics view Pentecost like a birthday of Christianity. The feast celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit who is sent to lead and guide people into communion with God. 

Talk about how Catholics attend church on Pentecost day.  That it is a happy festival and the priest wears the colour red to represent flames. Talk about your own experiences of attending mass and celebrating Pentecost day.

I would like children to play a game; reading the words provided and deciding whether they are happy or sad. Parents are of course welcome to help read the words. Some will be less familiar for the children. There is no expectation for you to print the document you can ask children to point to the happy and sad faces on screen. Afterwards, talk about which words are happy and would describe how Catholics feel on Pentecost day.
