Spirit Filled Day

Oh what a Spirit-filled day this is,
What a Spirit-filled day, my Lord
You have called us each by name,
We give ourselves to you
On this Spirit-filled day
What a Spirit-filled day, my Lord
The Spirit gives us what we need
To live our lives each day.

The Spirit brings
Love – the Spirit lives !
Joy – the Spirit dances !
Peace – the Spirit rests !
Patience – the Spirit waits !
Kindness – the Spirit gives !
Goodness – the Spirit breathes !
Gentleness – the Spirit acts !
Faithfulness – the Spirit lasts !
Self-Control – the Spirit cares !
The Spirit cares ! The Spirit cares

Oh what a Spirit-filled day this is,
What a Spirit-filled day, my Lord
You have called us each by name,
We give ourselves to you
On this Spirit-filled day
What a Spirit-filled day, my Lord
The Spirit gives us what we need
To live our lives each day.

The Spirit gives us what we need to live… our… lives… each day!!!

This is a choir we listened to on YouTube

PICTIONARY! Room 18

PICTIONARY

There are lots of different ways of communicating!

We can think in pictures and draw…getting our message across to others without talking!

Drawing is a great way communicate.

“Pictionary” is lots of fun.

We roll the dice, get move to a colour on the board, and we have to draw the thing on the play card matching our colour.

We all draw our “thing” at the same time and then we share our pictures and hope our friends can guess our thoughts!

It’s working….

Here is the Gallery of our last two weeks of play…..
