Exemplar narrative 1:
St Andrew's cluster meeting P7 group
- Revise prior learning: journey - what do we know already? Confirmation (possibly from year before), any other journeys (abroad etc), looking forward to journeys such as that to secondary school.
- How can we recall our journeys? Evidence from pictures/stories from grans etc/diaries - we know it happened because...
- Link to scripture passages - how do we know these journeys happened? Why? Link with the Holy Spirit.
- Explore journey of our reception of sacraments from Baptism onwards
- Map to record journeys of the saints (Scottish theme in particular) and research why and what they did to spread the Good News. What was the impact of these journeys? (Co-op learning)
- Charity work done by others to spread the Good News - e.g. of Let the Children Live: Presentation by Fr Peter Walters and website (Editor note:http://letthechildrenlive.org/). Who benefits and why should we help?
- Discuss why people visit places of pilgrimage e.g. Lourdes, Carfin. Trip to Grotto since is closer to home, or to Pastoral Centre. Invite visiting speakers from Lourdes trips to discuss experience.
