Today we heard the story of how Jesus called the first disciples to follow him. (Matthew 4: 12-23)
The brothers, Simon ( called Peter ) and Andrew were fishing in the lake of Galilee, when Jesus asked them to help him fish for people instead. They answered his call straight away, leaving their nets.
Soon after, Jesus saw two other brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee, mending their nets with their father. As soon as Jesus asked them, they also left their nets to follow him, as he began his teaching around Galilee.

We thought about who we would like to follow- who in our lives sets a good example. We made fish, on which we wrote the name of someone who helps us follow the teachings of Jesus. We stuck our fish on to some blue material, to represent the sea.
