Exemplar narrative 1
- Focus particularly on the scripture references to Jesus calling people to follow him.
- Hymns with reference to following e.g. Follow me; Will you come and follow me.
- Kingdom parables: read and write in their own words
- focus on Paul's Hymn to Love
- as the Beatitudes are such a focus of Confirmation preparation, we only briefly touched on the Sermon on the Mount, and will revisit this in more detail next term
Exemplar narrative 2:
Using the Year of Faith and Christian Unity Week as a stimulus, the children will deepen their knowledge of how the teachings of Jesus help us as Christians to become disciples of Jesus. The children will reflect on the parables of Matthew's Gospel chapter 13. The class will learn about the Beatitudes and will recognise that these are a guide as a way of living in a manner that brings about God's Reign. They will engage in discussions regarding our part in building God's Kingdom.
