Watch the lesson video in the link below

After watching the video, complete the questions on the sheet below.

Remember you can always go back to the video to help you.

Jesus travelled the land teaching people how to be good to each other and to love God, by telling stories (parables). 

Parables might be harder to understand than some other stories because they have hidden meanings. They can seem to be saying one thing, but are really teaching something else.

Today's parable is : The Story of the Prodigal Son

Jesus tells the story of a father whose willful son refuses to work on the family farm, but goes off instead to see the world.

Watch the story in the video below from the Beginners Bible.

(The video includes the stories of -  The Lost Sheep; The Lost Coin, and then the story of the Prodigal Son).

I have also put a different version of the story below the video in pdf slides if needed.

How do you think each person in the story felt when the younger son decided to leave with his Father's money? 

How might the Father and each of the sons have felt when the younger son came home?

Talk about the story with someone in your home.

Complete the 2 activity sheets, reflecting on the Father and 2 Sons in the story. 

T: Which materials are absorbent?

In this lesson, you will be learning about absorbency, testing and comparing the absorbency of a variety of household materials.

For the experiment, you will need these materials:

a sponge or cloth;      plastic bag or cup;    some tin foil;   

 cardboard or paper;    cotton wool or tissue;   

Also a plate or bowl and some water.

If you don't have these materials you can watch the teacher in the video lesson complete the experiment while observing and recording the outcomes.

Watch the video lesson below and complete the activities.

I have put a record sheet below, or you can draw your own table on paper or in your homework book, like the one on my sheet and in the video lesson. Remember to write the date and the lesson target at the top of your work.
