Grades 3 & 4 leave Haran for Hebron
Students of grades 3 & 4 from Tamaki PIPC found out all about Abram and Lot's journey from Haran to Hebron. How did they do this? Simple they walked down Pt England Rd, stopped at Te Ao Hou Childcare, then again at Pt England Reserve. All these places represented those in this famous story when Abram was first called by God to 'Go to the place I am going to show you'. All the way down Pt England Rd we followed chalked arrows on the footpath with this verse from God to Abram until we arrived at the sacred tree of Moreh, in Shechem where we built an altar, prayed, set our camp then packed up again stopping at the place between Ai and Bethel. Result - we got to experience some of what Abram may have and now know all the place names and people in lesson one for NZ SSU 2012.
Thanks to the amazing students of Grades 3,4 and 12 for being so open and willing to take part and be part of Abram and Lot's lot on this very sunny day in GI.

Hi Guy's,
ReplyDeleteYeah! it was really fun going for a trip to Pt England reserve. Have a nice day!!
Awesome re-enacting of a simply difficult reading for students (especially those as young as yours) to fully grasp, not only for the place names but also the physically demanding struggle, depth of faith and unrelenting obedience of Abram. WELL DONE to the teachers of Grade 3 & 4
ReplyDeleteWow grades 3&4, you guys must of enjoyed walking ever you went. You all did well on re-telling the story and walking to the place's.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work.:)
Hi talented kids,
ReplyDeleteThis little footage of yours is so so so so so so so so so so COOL!! It also looks like a lot of fun walking somewhere as a class. It looks like a big family reunion trip. You and your teachers are doing amazingly well.
