This Sunday it will be Pentecost! On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples and they spoke many different languages, and tongues of fire appeared above their heads. In preparation for Pentecost, we completed several different learning activities and learnt much more about this special event and the significance of it in Catholicism.
As a part of our learning, Miss Power asked us to find the story of Pentecost in the Bible. This was a tricky task, because we didn't know where it would be! We discussed what we knew about Pentecost - it happened after Jesus died, and there were flames on people's heads. We also knew that the New Testament is all about Jesus' ministry on earth, and the Gospel's of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John tell us all about Jesus' life on earth. Since we knew that Pentecost happened AFTER Jesus' life, we predicted that the passage might be at the end of one of the Gospels, or in a book that came after the Gospels in the Bible.
The rest got a bit complicated, as there were many ways you could locate a passage in the bible. So we put together a PowerPoint slideshow of instructions that you can follow if you ever need to locate a passage in the Bible - a handy skill! We hope you enjoy and find it useful!
