The Gifts of the Kingdom

Those of the Level Two’s unaffected by the illnesses that abound in our schools currently, had a presentation called ‘The History of the Kingdom of God – The Gifts’.

Starting at Creation we tracked the development of the stars, planets, constellations and galaxies, moving onto the mineral world, the bounty of the ocean, and the extraordinary gifts given to us in the plant and animal worlds.

Redemption reminded us that God’s love for people was so great that he came to us in the person of Jesus Christ and how he is in a most particular way present to us in the Eucharist.

From there we travel into and across the blank page on which we all write with God the history through to Parousia when ‘God will be all in all’

An ostrich egg!!

The bread and the wine – gifts from the earth that become for us Jesus Christ.

The Level One’s meantime were doing work of their own, including threading and pouring water. The last activity leads into the preparation of the cruets. It is a learning involving spatial awareness and eye/hand co-ordination.

I think I like pink best.

It is really trick pouring up to the line!

Thanks to Judy Wagg for the photos.
