We have looked at how angels spread the word of God and today children identified key sacred words in a passage of the bible when the Angel Gabriel told Mary the news that she would give birth to the Son of God. Children then deepened their learning and came up with a question for either the Angel Gabriel or Mary and asked their partners.
