Homework Challenge - Week 3

Last week our school got given some fruit trees. Mr Malcolm came to help us plant them. Hopefully by the time we are in room 3 and 4, we will be able to eat some fruit from these trees!

Children, your homework challenge is to try and remember (or find out) what kind of fruit trees they were. When you know them or some of them, tell your Mum and Dad so that they can write your answer in the form of a comment.

Homework Challenge - Week 1

Children, Can you remember any of the fruits of the Spirit that Mr Josiah talked about?

Tell your Mum or Dad and have them type your answer in the form of a comment!

Fruits of the Spirit

Today Mr Josiah from Church of Christ, came to talk to our class about the fruits of the Spirit. He brought real fruit too and used them to teach us what the fruit of the spirit were. We made a Fruit of the Spirit salad.  He also brought some other things you don't normally put into fruit salad, but he asked if we wanted to put them in. For example he had some vinegar and told us it was called anger. He asked us if our fruit of the Spirit salad would be nice with that in there. We said no. Thank you Mr Josiah for coming in and talking with us! We really appreciated it!
