Here's Gill with the last story of the summer term!
|
|
kipper goes to the beach. Hope you get to go the beach this summer too! |
|
|
Make a sandcastle
Have you got a sandbox? Or a patch of soil in the garden you can dig? A plant pot or plastic cup will do. Fill it up turn it over - and there you are! How will you decorate yours? |
|
Make a beach picture
Splosh on some yellow paint for sand. Add some blue for the sea. Cut out some tinfoil fish. When it's dry, squish on some play doh people, a ball to play with, maybe a picnic... Thank God for all he has created.

Collect some shells
How many shells can you find? Or stones? Choose your favourites. Put them in a bowl of water to see how they shine! Count them. Spread them out and see if you can walk round them. Mind you don't tread on them! Find a box to keep them safe. Thank God for choosing you and keeping you safe. |
|
|
Make a flag
Kipper made a flag from a lolly wrapper for his castle. What can you find in the recycling to make into a flag? |
|
|
Have a picnic
Picnics on a beach are fun! Get a rug, and some toys, and take some snacks outside! Why not join us for our Zoom teddy bears' picnic on Tuesday 9th August at 10.30? Click here |
|
Have a wonderful summer!!!

Count your teddies!
Gemma knows how many rabbits, and mice and teddies she has. Do you? Can you sort yours into groups and count them? Do yours have names too? |
|
Favourite teddy
Have you got a favourite teddy? Without looking, do you know what colour it is, what it feels like, what it smells like? Can you draw a picture? Jesus knows all about you too, and he loves you even more than you love that teddy!

Lost and found
Have a tidy up in your room, and see what you can find! Anything special? Have a tea party like Gemma with your teddies to celebrate! |
|
|
On your walk
Take your favourite teddy on your walk. See what you can find together. But don't leave him behind! |
|
7th July
Here are this weeks story, songs and activities. Please let us know if you are enjoying them!
|
|
|
|
Paint a rainbow!
As you do, remember what the rainbow really means! God keeps his promises, so you can trust him. |
|
|
Have fun with 40!
40 days is a long time! Can you do 40 jumps? Count 40 raindrops on the window? Stomp in the puddle 40 times? |
|
|
Family Picture
God shut Noah and his family in the ark together to keep them safe. Who have you been in lockdown with? Can you draw them safe in your house together? |
|
|
Animals
God put lots of animals on the ark too! What's your favourite animal? What sound does it make? Run around being a dog, cat etc. Make one from plasticine. Make a mask to wear. Have fun! |
|
On your walk
How many rainbows can you find that people have drawn and put in their windows or on the pavement etc? Do you remember what they mean?

30th June
Once again Gill is telling us the story. This week it's about a bear who gets stuck!
|
|
Watch the Videos ;) |
|
|
What's your favourite smell?
Bear's favourite smell was honey! What's yours? Can you guess what's for dinner today from the smell? Collect some things together, inside and out. Then shut your eyes and see if you can guess what they are, just from their smell. |
|
|
Bee crafts
Why not make a bee picture (like the one on the left) to remind you not to upset the bees. Or maybe you could use your fingerprints like the picture on the right. |
|
|
Play "Bee tag"
Ask an adult to chase you around making a noise like a bee. If they catch you, perhaps they could tickle you instead of stinging! Now it's your turn! |
|
|
On your walk
See if you can find any bees. But don't touch - remember what happened to Honey Bear! Have a look for a tree with a hole in it. Can you smell the honey?! |
|
23rd June
This week Gill is here with a story about chicks who want to be ducklings!
|
|
watch the video and try out the activities |
|
|
What would you like to be when you grow up?
Why not practise now? Dress up and have fun! You can make outfits from cardboard, and use your soft toys as helpers! |
|
|
On your walk
See what creatures you can find on your walk. Look out for chicks and ducklings! |
|
|
Are you a duckling or a chick?
Do you like getting wet? Do you like staying dry? Have fun with water today. Maybe in the paddling pool, or a bowl in the kitchen. |
|
|
What clever thing can you do?
Can you jump up high? Can you wiggle your nose? Can you run really fast? Can you sit really still? We are all good at something - what can you do? Make a video of you! |
|
|
Look in the mirror
Find a mirror you can stand in front of. Find you eyes. Touch your nose. Play with your hair. You are amazing! Be glad to be you! |
|
Thank God for making you YOU!
Be happy because you're amazing!!
Tuesday 16th June
This week Gill is here with a story about Tom and Pippo going to the moon - with Daddy -
ready for Fathers' Day!
ready for Fathers' Day!
|
|
watch the video and then try out the activities! |
|
Make a card!
|
You know how Dad doesn't appreciate your handprints on the walls? Well he'd love them on a card! Why not see if you can make a rocket shape with them? Or your footprint?!
|
|
|
Make a cake!
Ask an adult to help you make Dad's favourite cake! Ask for some sprinkles and icing so you can decorate it for him. |
|
Dad's little helper!
|
I'm sure Dad loves it when you help him! Make a badge for yourself, and then offer to help him on Fathers' Day! Tip: hang it round your neck instead of using a pin.
|
|
|
Recycling rocket!
Fly like Tom to the moon! Why not build a rocket out of the recycling? Make sure it's big enough for Dad to come too! |
|
|
Star-gazing!
If you get Dad up at night(!), see if you can see the moon. How many stars can you count? |
|
Thank God for your Dad! Remember God is the best Dad ever - he made the moon and stars - and YOU!! And he loves YOU (and your Dad) very much!
Tuesday 9th June
This week Gill is telling the story. Its a story about Kipper the dog and his paddling pool.
|
|
Watch the video, and then try out these water based activities |
|
|
Puddle Jumping On your walk see if you can find any puddles to jump in! Make sure you wear your wellies. Have fun! |
|
|
Water Painting Take a bowl of water and a paint brush outside. Enjoy "painting" the stones, the bushes, everything! |
|
|
Water Carrying Put a full bowl of water at one end of the garden (or kitchen). Put an empty bowl at the other end. Scoop some water from the full bowl, carry it to the empty bowl, and pour it in! See if you can do it without spilling any! |
|
|
Bathtime!
Enjoy splashing in the bath, or outside in the paddling pool. Or just lie back and relax like Kipper! |
|
Remember to thank God for giving us water to drink, to wash in and to have fun!
Tuesday 2nd June
Tomi is back to tell you about the Holy Spirit coming, the helper Jesus promised!
|
|
As always watch the videos and try out the activities |
|
|
Make a tongue of fire for your head!
Cut out flame shapes from coloured card, or just colour in plain paper. Cut out strips of card to make a band around your head. Then staple it all together so it looks like a flame landed on your head, like in today's story! |
|
|
Make a pinwheel Follow the instructions in the video opposite to make a pinwheel. I found it safer to use a split pin instead, and a drinking straw for the handle. Blow it like the Holy Spirit blew! |
|
|
Learn a new language
Do you know another language? See if you can learn a few words in another language today! Can you find their flag too? |
|
Things to try outside
Find a dandelion clock. As you blow the seeds and which them float away, thank Jesus for taking away the bad things that you do! Shine a torch to help you find your way in the dark. Remember the Holy Spirit came to help you find the right way to live your life. |
|
Jesus loves you!
Shout "Jesus loves you" to everyone you pass today!
Babies and Toddlers
Tuesdays during term time
The Nant Coch Baby and Toddler Group was established in 1983 as a service to young families in our local community. It provides an opportunity for the carers of young children to meet up with and make new friends in a toddler- and baby- friendly environment with a wide variety of age-appropriate toys available. The group is run by a committed and enthusiastic team who are on hand to provide support and a listening ear if required. We provide refreshments and a storytime, and craft activity for the older children. The group gathers together at the end of the session for singing. |
It’s ‘party time’ for the children at Christmas and again at the end of the summer term and for the adults we offer occasional special events and courses. Please send us an e-mail for more details. The morning session is between 10a.m. and 11.45a.m. and the afternoon between 1p.m. and 2.45p.m. and we meet during term times only. |
