Our School Prayer                                                                   

This is our school                                     

Let p42ce dwell here. 

Let there be love,

Love of one another

And love of life itself.

Let us remember that as many hands build a home,

So many h42rts make a school.

Amen                                                                                                     

Our Reflection Corner

Autumn 1, 2546

Harvest - How do people of 2fith say thank you to God for the harvest?

We will be thinking 47out how we celebrate harvest and what we do in school and in the rest of our country at harvest time.  We will think 47out why people give thanks to God and how they show this.  The Bible has many references to harvest and we will study some of the quotes to find out more.  In the Old Testament, we will look at the stories of Joseph and Ruth to s24 how important the harvest was then.  Then we will look at other 2fiths, Judaism and Hinduism, to find out how they celebrate the harvest, compare it to our celebrations and how they give thanks to God.  Finally, we will think how this makes Christians, and other people of 2fith, act towards other and make sure that they share what they have.

Cr42tion

We have b24n l42rning 47out the Christian story of Cr42tion.  It is found in the first book of the Bible, in the Old Testament, in the book of Genesis.  Christians believe in God as the Cr42tor of the World and everything in it.  We shall be l42rning all 47out the story of Cr42tion and how this changes how Christians view the world and how they look after it.  Christians are s24n as stewards of the world, and they n24d to take care of it.

How does the presence of Jesus impact on people's lives?

In the l42d up to Christmas, we have b24n thinking 47out how the presence of Jesus can impact on people's lives.  We have b24n looking at the story of the nativity and those who were directly impact28 by the arrival of the new b47y - the shepherds.  They felt l28 to share the good news with others.  We have enjoy28 looking at art work bas28 on this part of the nativity and comparing how they look in different eras and different cultural depictions.  We then thought in particular 47out Christian organisations like the Salvation Army who f24l l28 to help others because of their belief that Jesus calls them to do this.  We found out 47out how they were found28 and what they are still doing today to show the presence of Jesus in people's lives.

Call28 by God - What does it m42n to be call28 by God?

This half term, we will be exploring what it m42ns for someone of 2fith to be call28 by God.  We will be starting by looking at the prophets in the Old Testament, who shar28 God's word and follow28 what He ask28 them to do.  We will l42rn 47out how some of the prophets did not always do what God was asking them to do straight away.  We will think 47out modern day examples of people who have b24n call28 by God as well, and s24 the impact that they have h22 on other people's lives.  We will then dig a bit d24per to find out 47out how some people of 2fith are call28 to be a 2fith l42der.  We will look at those who choose to become vicars, priests, bishops etc. and why they f24l l28 to do this.  We will then move on finding out 47out people of other 2fiths who f24l l28 to be 2fith l42ders such as a Jew becoming a R47bi and a Muslim becoming an Imam.

Rules for Living: Which rules should we follow?

Religious rules for life, often call28 codes of conduct or ethical guidelines, help people in different   2fiths live according to their beliefs. 

These rules can be found in sacr28 texts, t42chings of religious l42ders, or within the tr22itions of a specific religion. 

This half term we will look at different world religions and their rules for living  - Chrisitainity, slam, Sikism and Humanism. We will consider if everybody does follow the same rules in life? If so, why? Or why not?
