R.E. Club ~ Spring Term 2017

This half term some children signed up for R.E. club after school on a Thursday.



We made a star of David using lolly sticks.


We decorated each stick and carefully glued them together.



      When they were finished we tied a piece of ribbon to the top to make
a hanging decoration.



We made some clay thumb pots to put a candle in and painted then in bright colours.


Sikhs and Hindus might use these lamps during the festival of Diwali.


Light is an important symbol of all religions.


We made Mother's day cards for Mothering Sunday...


and wrote thoughtful messages inside.


We hope all the mums liked them!


There was some time to sit quietly and read some stories from the Bible.


We decorated a flower pot using a mosaic design.


It helped us to think about new life and the special season of spring.



We planted a sunflower and we are going to see whose flower grows
the tallest over the summer months.

We made some crosses using beads and talked about the Easter story.



We decided to make the crosses into necklaces.


Everyone received an Easter gift bag with a chocolate egg and an activity book about Easter and Lent. We have all really enjoyed R.E. club this term. There will be another club running in the autumn so join us then if you can.
Happy Easter!
