Hello children!

Edgar said he really enjoyed our game on Teams yesterday - thank you for playing with us.

Here are your little activities for today...

In our Cinderella story this week, Cinderella lost her glass slipper. Do you think glass is a good material to use to make a shoe? Why?

Glass is a really good material to use for other things. Click on the link to find out how glass is actually made...

Did you know...

Today you are going to be detective. Go on a hunt around you house and see how many things you can see that are made of glass. Can you write a list and draw the pictures? You can work in your red books or on paper. Remember just to look and  not to lift the objects children as glass can be dangerous when it's dropped.

Lesson 3 - The Presentation Story

Look at this picture...

Mary and Joseph took baby Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem.  They wanted to present him to God and thank God for giving them their lovely boy.

Whilst they were there they met two people, Simeon and Anna.  They went to the Temple every day to pray.  Simeon took Jesus in his arms and gave thanks to God.  He said a prayer over Jesus and blessed Mary and Joseph.  He said Jesus was like a light to help people.  Anna was delighted to see Jesus and gave thanks to God for him.

Afterwards Mary and Joseph took Jesus home to Nazareth.
