The Small Fish Podcast

Episode 4 : Will I like the teachers?

For this episode, we start thinking about the different personalities of teachers. Two children help us to remember that teachers are actually on our side and to ignore rumours that might fly around school. Teachers are our ‘trusted adults’ in school and our wellbeing matters to them. Jesus reminds us that we will not be alone when we meet them too (Bible quote from John chapter 16 verse 32).

Episode 3 : Will I cope with homework?

In Episode 3, we think about homework and tests. We learn about planning ahead, using a homework diary and making sure we put the real work in. Through Jesus, we learn that God is with us even when we’re all alone revising (Bible quote from John chapter 16 verse 32).

Episode 2 : What if I get lost?

In our second episode, we discover that our new teachers can be a big help in finding our way around the big pond. Two children share their thoughts about moving classrooms and having different teachers. We also revisit Joshua’s experience of feeling slightly lost (Bible quote from Joshua chapter 1 verses 5 and 9).

Episode 1 : How do I get there?

In our first episode, it’s probably best to start by making sure we know the way to our new school. Two children suggest rehearsing the route and making the most of taster days. Through the story of Joshua, children learn God’s promise to be with them when they venture to new places (Bible quote from Joshua chapter 1 verses 5 and 9).
