We watched a video of the story and then acted this out. First, we sat in a circle and prayed just as the disciples did, we then had some children act out the huge gust of wind that was felt by the disciples as the Holy Spirit arrived and blessed them with the ability to speak in different languages. Finally, we spoke in different languages such as, ‘Bonjour,’ ‘Ciao,’ and ‘Konnichiwa,’ to teach everyone about Jesus. We created some flames, doves and wind as these are symbols of the Holy Spirit, and we also drew some pictures of the disciples and wrote in different languages in our RE sketchbook. Well done Reception. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/FA3AF8C0-5DE9-4281-81C8-8B1B42EF5F33.jpeg) [Reception](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Religious Education](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_7594.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-06-26-reception-muddy-monday) Previous ### [Reception: Muddy Monday](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-06-26-reception-muddy-monday) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/6F70FCD9-2F3F-458F-9371-614B2E35CFEA.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-06-26-w-o-w-group-messy-parables-the-mustard-seed) Next ### [W.O.W.
