Pentecost Sunday

Document Pentecost Sunday Learning with Our Free Learning Story Pack!

Pentecost Sunday is a meaningful opportunity to explore celebration, community, belonging, symbols and different beliefs in respectful and engaging ways within the early years environment.

This Christian celebration takes place 50 days after Easter and remembers the coming of the Holy Spirit. It is often known as the “birthday of the Church” and offers practitioners a gentle opportunity to help children learn about important celebrations, shared symbols and the diverse beliefs within families and communities.

This free pack has been created to help practitioners document children’s learning, conversations and discoveries as they take part in experiences inspired by Pentecost Sunday.

Capture children’s emerging understanding as they explore celebration, light, community, doves, flames, storytelling, belonging and the importance of learning about different traditions and beliefs.

This pack can support practitioners to record children’s voice, learning and participation as they engage in experiences linked to identity, culture, diversity, inclusion, belonging, community and respect for difference.
