Today we started a unit of work on Christianity. We looked at a variety of pictures from a family home, thinking about what we could see and then thinking about what type of home the pictures have come from. We then discussed the pictures in more detail thinking about how some of the pictures related to Christianity. We then became detectives where we tried to make links between the items and thought about the importances of each item. From here we ordered our items from the most important to the least important which raised some great discussions! We really challenged each others thinking.

We then moved on to looking at a weekly calendar thinking about our families and what would go on our own weekly calendar. We then watched a clip on a boy called Nathan. We thought about all the things he does in his week and added this to a calendar. We annotated the calendar to say why he is choosing to do certain things.

In our debrief we thought about challenges Christian’s face and what a Sunday morning may look like for a Christian compared to our Sunday morning. We also thought about all the good things about being a Christian. What a fantastic lesson this was! Such great collaboration and discussions taking place 🙂
