Sunbeams is glad to be back on following half term. We all had fun on Thursday making our craft and listening to more stories about Jesus.

Lots of fun!

Theme for the Term
This term we are going to be looking at stories from the life of Jesus. This will include Parables (stories that Jesus told) and things that Jesus did. The stories will all be told using puppets which hopefully the children will enjoy. The craft each week will be linked into the story.
In addition there will be an activity sheet available for your children to take home each week which will relate to the morning.
If you have any questions please speak to Becky or one of the other members of the team. Also, if you have any suggestions we are always happy to hear them.

This week we learnt about Jesus blessing children. We had lots of fun with the puppets, singing our toys and craft.

Sunbeams 2008

We have started meeting again this new year, enjoying ourselves with lots of craft, singing, puppets, toys and new friends.

More updates and pictures to follow.

We're back on....

Thursday 13th September!!!
I know for those of you without school children it is another week to wait but it gives those who do have children at school or just starting a week to ease into the routine!

Just to let you know as well Becky had her baby a lovely gorgeous boy called Isaac, weighing in at 10lb 10z (don't you just love that one extra ounce!!) Mother and baby are doing really well and I'm sure will make an appearance but is not able to help as much straight away.

Also, Hayley who was helping last term has gone back to work until baby number two comes next year so ANY help would be appreciated especially with set up.

THANK YOU so much for all those of you who helped last term with set up it was really appreciated!!

See you all soon!!
