This week, we learned about the friends of Jesus and how they shared the Good News with people all around the world. We talked about how Mrs Evans is like one of Jesus' friends because she helps to spread the Good News throughout our school.
The children used a map of the school to search for different places where the Good News is shared. When they found each location, they listened to a Bible story. They enjoyed exploring the map and learning how Jesus' message spread far and wide, reaching people everywhere.
As Christians, we are called to share Jesus' love and teachings with others, just as His disciples did. We reflected on Jesus' words:
"Go and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
(Matthew 28:19–20)
The children considered how they can be like Jesus' friends in their own daily lives. They discussed simple ways to share the Good News through their actions, such as showing kindness, helping others, being good friends, and demonstrating God's love through their words and behaviour. By following Jesus' example, they recognised that they too can make a positive difference in their school and wider community.
