Class LH have been discovering in their RE lessons why the Church
family is important to Christians. We started
off talking about different clubs and places we have been to and thought about
what it felt like to be made welcome.
The children had a choice to draw a picture or build from Lego a place
where they had visited and made to feel welcome.
These children all drew pictures and then explained their
drawings to the class about where and why they were made to feel welcome.
Delilah was made welcome at the school by meeting the
teachers before she started.
Harriet was made welcome at tap dancing classes as she knew
some of the children from her ballet classes.
Millie felt happy when she started football as her friends
were there too.
Polly was made welcome when she went to her friend
Isabelle’s house and was shown around the house.
Stanley felt welcome at his football club as knew some of
the coaches.
Florrie was made to feel welcome by Elsie as she showed
Florrie around the park when they very first met each other.
Gregory felt welcome at the Scout hut when he started
Beavers and he felt that by being happy there, he was encouraged to work hard
and he has just got his first badge.
Rosie and Isla; Freddie, Ethan and Gus; George; Kristofers,
Hugo and Milo all created models, using Lego, of the swimming pool where they
have their lessons and all agreed they were made to feel very welcome as their
friends were there; they were all happy; teachers were kind and knew the names
of others in their groups and it was good to talk to others at the pool.
After this we discussed which picture was ‘somewhere we all
belong’ and using Delilah’s picture and explanation, we discovered how we are
all part of the school family; it’s not just the building. We all belong to the school family; we work
and play together.
We all agreed that being made to feel welcome and being part
of a family was a good feeling.
