Fern Gully Helps Us See How We Are All Connected.

During Religion we have continued learning about God's creation, as part of our unit we watched the movie "Fern Gully'. It was an outstanding movie and helped us understand how we are connected to God's creation. It also showed us how important it is for us to look after our world.

This week for homework Miss Veling and Mrs Standring have asked us to read Genesis 1:1-31. We have to retell the main events and draw a picture showing our understanding. They are going to choose some to share on our blog. Good luck everyone! Will yours be one of the chosen ones?

The children did a great job summarising the creation narrative from the Old Testament, in particular the book of Genesis. I have included some of the drawings and a collection of their summaries below.

God created everything and this is how it started. On the first day God created light and the night and day. On the second day God created the sky and sea. On the third day God created the land and the plants and seeds. On the forth day God created the sun, moon and stars. On the fifth day God created the animals for the sea, land and sky. On the sixth day God created all living things, animals, woman and man.

God first made heaven and earth. He made morning, night, evening and dry land. God also made, plants, creatures, light, dark, water, fruit, vegetables, trees and seeds. God also made male and female.

In the beginning the earth was covered with nothing but darkness. But then God said, "Let there be light". So he made light and he named the light day and the darkness he called night. There was the evening and there was the morning. On day 1 God made the water and he called water - sea.

Once the world was empty and darkness all around. Day 1: God made light and called it "day' and called the darkness 'night'. The night went and day came.
Day 2: A dome was made to keep the water in two places. The dome was called 'sky'. Night went and day came.
Day 3: Then the water came to one place and the land was shown. It was called 'earth'. Night went and day came.
Day 4: God made two larger lights the 'sun' and 'moon' and he added stars. Night went and day came.
Day 5: God made birds and animals and other animals and said 'reproduce'. Night went and day came.
Day 6: God made humans and blessed them that was day 6. The whole world was done and God rested. That was day 7.

On the first day God created the heavens, earth, day and night. On the second day God created the sky, and water. On the third day God named the earth and seas, grassland , trees bearing fruit. On the fourth day God created the sun, moon and stars so there was light. On the fifth day God created creatures for the sea, land and skies. On the sixth day God created mankind. On the seventh day God rested and made the day a Holy day.

On the firt day heaven and earth was created. On the second day God created the sky. On the third day God created the sea, land, plants and trees. On the fourth day God created the stars in the sky. On the fifth day God created the living animals on land and in seas as well as in the sky. On the sixth day God created man and woman.

On the sixth days of creation God created all the beautiful things we see now. On the 1st day of creation God created light and dark. On the 2nd day God created sky and water. On the 3rd day God created plants and land. On the 4th day God created moon, sun and stars, On the 5th day God created creatures on the sea and sky. On the 6th day God created the wild animals. This is the 6 days of creation.

In the beginning God created the heavens and earth. But the earth was dark with no light. On the first day, God said, Let there be light. On the second day, God said,"Let there be water under a vault.' then God called the vault sky. The other days, but not on the seventh day, God made ground, plants, trees, fruit, sun,moon,creatures, birds, male and female. On the seventh day God said it was good.

God said "Let there be light and there was day and night. Next God made water and clouds. Then he made land and hills. Next God made the sun, moon and stars. Then he made bids and fish. On the last day God made every sort of animals and the first people, Adam and Eve.

First God made light and called it day and darkness, night. Then God seperated water and sky. He made land and called it Earth. He made plants and fruits. Then he made animals and humans. He told them to have lots of children and to look after the animals and plants. He was always happy with what he saw.

On day one God created light and seperated the light from dark. He called light, 'day' and dark ' night'. On the second day God created a vault, he called it sky. On day three God created water spots and called it sea. God created vegetation. On day four God created lights thatwere in the sky to seperate the day from night. On fifth day God created the sea animals and the birds. He said to them 'reproduce'. On the sixth day God made the trees and plants and other living things reproduce according to its kind.
