BX NT2 Low Furness

This afternoon I was at Low Furness School with the year 5/6  class doing the second lesson of Bible Explorer New Testament.  I couldn't go last week due to having a bad back so I did a big recap of the first weeks stories and hand signs.  The children had remembered them very well which was great.  Today we heard stories form the gospels about the early part of Jesus' ministry like talking to Nicodemus and the women at the well in Samaria.  I also explained about parables and retold the parable of the sower.  The children heard also  about some of the things Jesus did - healing people, calming the storm, feeding the 5000.  We ended the lesson with Peter proclaiming who Jesus is and then once again putting his foot in it during the transfiguration.  Next week we will by the end of the lesson concluded the earthly life of Jesus having covered that story in depth and others along the way.
