Hello everyone.
This week, our whole school theme is “Space” and in RE we are going to think about the rainbow. The rainbow has become a symbol of hope during the pandemic and it is a symbol that we use a lot in school for other reasons, too.
The rainbow first appears in the Bible at the end of the story of Noah. As you watch the story, think about why the rainbow was put into the sky and how that is similar, and different, to what you think about when you see a rainbow today. Share you thoughts, and a prayer if you would like to, in the comments.
It is similar because the rainbow was in the sky when all the rain stopped and everyone was happy to see it and the rainbow was like a sign of happiness after the months of rain. This is similar because they were all happy to see the rainbow and people nowadays also are happy to see rainbows. It is different because what forms a rainbow nowadays is rain and sunlight but there was no sunlight just rain so that is trying to say that god can do anything at any time.
