Super Heroes - Old Testament Heros

We are going to be exploring Old testament heroes (until we get to Jesus for Easter) 

As an introduction we thought about superheroes that we knew of and what they did. Then designed our own superhero, identifying his superhero characteristics, introducing Super Mo!

Then we explored the story of Noah and thought about what his superhero powers are. Then how we can use them skills in our own lives.

Next week Samson....

Samson Play Activities

We are going to "trial" providing children with some structured play activities I guess loosely based on montessori prepared activities. We try to support children to play around the story but some are struggling with this. I also think that it would greatly support any children who have children with autistic spectrum disorders using TEACCH principles.

Playdough Angels

Playdough angels. They may not all quite resemble angels but it was a mixture of ages, and allowed to create from the resources available.

• skin colour play dough (obviously), there were two shades
• plastic gems
• white feathers
• pipe cleaners (metallic)
• eyes
• pom poms
• match sticks

The story we were doing was Joseph is told by an angel that Mary is having God's son, but it would work for any angel story. This was our most popular angel activity with the littlest ones.

CD Angel

Not a prescriptive craft super fan but I quite like this CD angel and left lots of scope for creativity! Was REALLY popular! And I know which one I prefer (one was done by me!)
