The Holy Spirit

Room 1 have been learning about the Holy Spirit.

Today we did I an experiment to show that God is three persons in one.

We used milk and three different food colourings, 1 for the Father, 1 for the Son - Jesus and one for the Holy Spirit.  We then added a drop of dish washing liquid to the food colouring, this is where the magic started.
Come and have a look at our results.
