(3 - 4 years)
(Ages 4 - 11)
For 3 - 4 years old (Starting school)
Laying the foundations is key with our wonderful group of Foundation Stones. Our main focus for the children to learn that church is a fun place to be!
A fun place to be!
In Foundation Stones the session starts with play! Everything from play-dough to craft, building bricks to dolls and animals...
Foundation Stones join the older children in Wow Time after about 30 minutes.
Discover the stories of the Bible – with a wonderful FaithBear!
We then go back to our area for a story. Each week we hear a different story from the Bible. And to help us discover these stories, our Foundation Stones have a new friend - their very own FaithBear!
After the story, we often pray with the children, sometimes they say their own prayers too. This is followed by a drink and biscuit time.
The children then make something that relates to the story and the FaithBear. They can then go home and play with the craft and bear – and tell the FaithBear all about what they’ve learned in FaithBuilders that Sunday. And, each child will have a bag to keep the bear and all the craft in – how exciting!
We finish the morning with a group game and if the service runs on we look at books or have another free play time.
We are happy for children to bring a comfort toy with them if it helps them to settle in (e.g. a doll or a bear). If you’re visiting for the first time, why not contact us and tell us the names of your children so we can greet them with a warm welcome on the door!
For Reception to Year 6 (Ages 4 - 11)
Welcome, Huddle In, Break Out activities and Wind Down all form parts of a Cool Jewel's Sunday afternoon.
Lots of fun activities...
In Cool Jewels we follow the same visual timetable as Foundation Stones. The morning starts with lots of free play – everything from table football to connect four, snakes and ladders to making bracelets!
In Huddle In, Cool Jewels chat about the Wow Moment and what today’s story means to us – it’s also a nice time to have a drink and biscuit. We also Break Out into another room – this could be a team or group game to play, or something to make!
