Footprints

JUNIOR SCHOOL Footprints

I have the privilege of spending every week with the Junior School’s Year 5 and 6 students for our Footprints religious lessons. The girls love the stories, and the Word Searches that we share. For me, the main purpose is to show the girls that God is love. To teach them that God is kind and cares for each one of them.

Although we have lost a lot of sessions due to the lockdown, we still managed to spend good time together, learning from the life of Old Testament figures such as Daniel, and his reliance on God and the miracles that took place in his life. We learned about ‘The Good Samaritan’, and how God loves it when we show mercy to others.

A huge favourite with the Year 5 and 6 girls is the various Parables that Jesus shared. We studied Parables such as ‘The Sower’, ‘The Lost Sheep’, ‘The Lamp Under a Bushel’, ‘The Mustard Seed’, and many more. These young ladies are a real blessing, and every day I am so grateful for being able to spend time with them. —Rev Dr Francois Joubert, St Cuthbert’s Chaplain
