JESUS THE HEALER

Have you ever wondered whether Jesus performed miracles of healing or whether the healing occurred as a result of something else?

Year Five have been exploring the miracles Jesus performed – looking at Jesus the Healer. Miracles are divided into four categories:- Miracles of healing, control over nature, exorcism and resurrection.

Can you name a miracle from each of these categories?

The exploration was done through retelling of the stories, creating story boards, writing journals, writing newspaper reports, creating freeze frames, drawing up mind maps and recently having Deacon David (the school chaplain) come and explain to them the meaning of Ash Wednesday and Lent. The children looked forward to their learning every week – learning about some miracles they’d never heard about before! Here are some examples of their work.

*Have you guessed which miracle this is? What part did friends play in this miracle?*

Lego house with a front garden and removable roof.

*Some children extended their class learning to home learning and made models of the house where the friends took the paralysed man and lowered him down to Jesus. Excellent!*

*Newspaper report – which miracle is being reported here?*

While the elders were making their way to the Centurion’s house with Jesus…

*Deacon David explaining the meaning of Ash Wednesday and Lent.*

In which ways do friends enable or support healing?

Can you hide from God?
