The Parable of the Mustard Seed

This term in 3K we have been learning RE. We have been studying all about Christians! As a class we looked at some bible stories. We have been looking at the parable of the mustard seed. This is a little bit about the parable: basically its about when you plant a seed it gets bigger. So if you start with something small it always get bigger like a seed when it grows. This is how the parable goes:
"The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches"


After that we made a bookmark and put cress seeds in and laminated them so the seeds wouldn’t fall out. It was such good fun and we were learning about peoples religions too.
