This morning, our Nursery children gathered together to celebrate St Francis of Assisi, whose feast day was yesterday.
We listened to the story of St Francis from our special Stories of Saints book and talked about how he showed such a deep love for God and for all that God created. The children recognised that, just like St Francis, we can show our love for God by caring for the wonderful world around us.
We had lots of fun singing ‘If I Were a Butterfly’ and learning the actions, giving thanks to God for all the amazing things He has created, including each and every one of us!
We linked our learning to change of seasons to autumn and how we can recognise this in the world around us. The children shared their ideas about changing leaves, cooler weather and the signs of autumn they have noticed.
In our areas, the children created their own nature pictures, using some real natural resources and exploring leaf-printing painting.
St Francis reminds us that we are all part of God’s wonderful creation and have a responsibility to love, respect and care for one another and our world. 💚
