On Friday 18th of May Year 4 visited St Francis School in Norwich to join in a MAT event of workshops and celebrations on the theme of Pentecost. Here is some of the learning that we took part in:
Jamie: I learnt that Pentecost is everyone’s birthday and that the Holy Spirit gives us fruits and gifts. I got goodness which is a fruit. At St. Francis we learned that Jesus created the Holy Spirit so we could all share it and keep it safe. He also gave it to us so we could be happy and spread happiness by doing good things.
Luka: I learn that when you are baptised it is another birthday for you. Also everyone in the world is your brother or sister. I also learnt that self-control, love, joy, goodness and faithfulness are all fruits, not gifts. I learnt that if you ask God to do something he will do it for you if you pray and believe in yourself.
Maya: I have learnt that God can send signs and he can help you make tough decisions by using those signs. I have also learnt that Sunday 20th May was the church’s birthday and our small celebration birthday, only if we are baptised because if we are baptised then we are part of the church. I have learnt that there are fruits and gifts that Jesus, God and the holy spirit gave us. The holy spirit is God because he is the spirit in all of the fruits and gifts in us, so the holy spirit is part of Gods spirit and he loves us all and helps us always.
