RE

This week we will share the Bible story of Creation. We will discuss that this is the first story in the Bible and talk about each part of our world that God made – light/dark, land, sea, and sky, people and animals, fish and birds, plants and trees. On the seventh day God rested. We will share our favourite things in our world and say thank you to God for them. We will sequence the story of Creation in the order as shared in the bible story.
During prayer time we will thank you God for our world and all of the beautiful things in it.
