Today's class was led by Mrs. Willis. Our lesson today covered the story of David and Goliath. We also celebrated All Saints Day with a specific lesson by Ms. Emily.
The story of David and Goliath as told in 1 Samuel 17 is about how a young David stood up against a very large and strong man, Goliath of Gath. The Philistines and the Israelites were at war and Goliath challenged the King of Israel, Saul, to send one of his men to fight him. No one wanted to fight Goliath but David, a shepard, heard his challenge and agreed to the challenge. David used his slingshot and hit Goliath in the forehead which killed him. David and the Israelites celebrated their victory. The significance of this story is that with God on your side you can make anything happen- just as young David defeated Goliath. Young David later became the next King of Israel.
Our activity for the day was to complete a maze which lead us through the important times of King David's life. We searched through the Bible for the clues.
We then went to the Chapel for a lesson about All Saint's Day. We learned about many Saints and discussed the Saints in our own lives.
Next week Mrs. Turner and Mr. Tobin will be leading the class. All students are asked to bring in a family picture for a special project.
