Stained glass windows in Year 1

 Year 1 learnt about the Ascension during the season of Pentecost in today's RE lesson. 

We discussed how the Holy Spirit was promised from Jesus to his disciples after his resurrection, and how that may have made the disciples feel.

We discussed the images that many artists use to represent the Holy Spirit. We also spoke about the art in stained glass windows and how many churches have them to depict special stories and people from religious history.

We worked in small groups to create our own stained glass window art. We worked carefully and patiently together, making sure everyone had equal turns and making sure to include a range of colours and sizes of tissue for the finished piece.

We are very proud of our work!
