The Pioneers talked about the Christian Faith, the Bible and how Christians believe that God created the world in 7 days. We looked at a number of versions of the story – a beautiful book called Let There Be Light, a Children’s Story Bible and a short video clip. We spotted the main features of the story and as we did this Mrs Hogarth and Miss Greaves drew out our story map. This was wonderful to do together as the adults were put on the spot to demonstrate their drawing skills!
In the book it finishes with the line, “God has put love into everything in creation, especially you.” We talked about how special and how unique and loved everyone is and the Pioneers added the people they love to their story map.
We went off to our tables and clipboards to produce our version of the story. God’s duvet had a cross on it and a variety of favourite animals took their place in pictures.
The Pioneers then took their chance to retell the story using our maps. They showed great confidence and strength to retell to the class. The Pioneers are magnificent.
Ahead of our Harvest Festival, we recapped on our knowledge of parts of a Christian Church using vocabulary to describe this-pew, aisle,alter, cross, candle and vicar.
