On Wednesday afternoon, year 1 and year 2 (LH, JC and AB)
visited St Michael’s Church, Framlingham
to share and conclude our topic of ‘The
Great Prayer and Worship adventure’. There
were five areas of prayer which we have been learning about: praise, worship,
thanks, sorry and help. We discovered what
they meant to us as Christians.
When we
arrived at the church, the children were put into 5 mixed class groups and each group took
turns on the carousel of activities; each activity related to each type of
prayer.
Praise – we
rejoiced in the praise psalms and shared our praise psalms that we had written.
Thanks – studied the ‘Grace’ as we shared our afternoon snack
and gave thanks to God for all our food and all the good things that we have.
Worship – we prayed about how we worshipped God and
rejoiced by singing and dancing to celebrate.
Forgiveness – we thought about times when we had done
something we weren’t pleased with and that we were sorry about. We wrote our
prayer down on a whiteboard and then wiped the boards clean representing God
forgiving us and having a fresh start.
Help - we shared
prayers that had written asking God for help in times of need. We made a candle as a symbol of this prayer.
We had an action-packed afternoon and it was great to
share all the different types of prayers with each other from the other
classes.
Grace - prayers for thanks
Worship - singing and dancing to rejoice
Candle making - asking help for others
Sorry - asking God for forgiveness
Praise - sharing psalms
Thank you to all the parents who kindly made this trip
possible by walking to the church with us. The children enjoyed the experience of working with children from other classes.
