Moses and the Burning Bush
Our values for this term are Truthfulness and Trust. This story is about putting trust in God.
Moses was looking after his flock of sheep. One day he was searching for a stray sheep when he saw a bush on fire. The bush was burning but no leaves fell or turned to ash.
He heard a voice.... watch the video clip to find out what happened.
Moses had an incredible job to do. Would you take on a job like this or would you need encouragement?
Did Moses take on the jobs God gave him because he was scared of God or because he believed and trusted him?

Show CommentsHello the ten frames the bottom one has 6 aliens the middle one has 4 aliens if you moved them togerher it would make 10 6 + 4 = 10 so only one frame would be empty. Good maths thinking Frankie. From Mrs Imeson
I went sledging down a big hill with mummy nanny and my brother Ethan. It was great fun.
Frankie thinks the pictures are 2 different wood logs painted black. Thank you for your super guess Frankie. I thought it was a carpet and I was really surprised it was a feather. Were you surprised? Mrs Imeson
I built a snowman and went out on our sledge that is very old because it used to belong to my Mummy!
