God the Holy Spirit - Te Wairua Tapu

In Religious Education, we have been learning about the Holy Spirit - Te Wairua Tapu.
We did some talking about how the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit are one God. This is the mystery of Go who is so great and so different from us. We can try and understand more about God who loves us. We did an experiment to help us. We saw how 3 colours blended together to become one. We can speak of and pray to each of the three persons but we must remember that they are all one God.

We talked about how the Holy Spirit is like water - it fills us up no matter what shape we are, it gives us life, it cleans us and it makes us grow.

Water Experiments

We were very lucky to have a 'Science Expert' come and do an experiment with us on Tuesday. Lochie's Mum Anita, came to school and did an experiment with us, we became 'Scientists!'. We wanted to find out what temperate water boils at and what temperature ice melts. We had to use a thermometer and read what the temperature was, every ten minutes.
We found out that ice melts at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees! We loved having Anita with us and guess what...she is coming back to do more experiments with us!
