This week we have been looking at promises. 

First, we learned that a promise is an agreement to do or not do something.  

The children spoke about some promises they had made.  Some said they had made ‘pinkie promises’ to their friends and parents, and some said they had made promises at their Beaver and Rainbow groups.

Then we read  ‘Abraham and Sarah’ which is a story from the bible. It tells of how God made Abraham a promise. He promised to give Sarah and Abraham a child and many descendants if they moved from where they were living to a new land.  They did, and they had a son called Isaac. God kept his promise to them, proving he was dependable and faithful.

Finally, the children made their own promise vouchers.

Ronnie promised to always share.

Bella promised to always do her homework.

Savannah promised to never chat back to grown-ups.

Chester promised to sleep in his bed all night.

Albie promised to never touch the ball when his coach is talking.

All the children thought carefully about their promises and they understood the importance of keeping them.
