THE CHRISTMAS STORY


Class Assembly 22/11/12

This week our focus has been on humility. We will watch this video and talk about how having humility can help us in life. You may also want to think about how this might help the Islanders in our RE lesson on Friday.






LESSON week beg 23/11/12: THE ISLAND 

The people from the cruise, have now settled on the island, but they are getting irritated and frustrated with each other. Different people have different ideas about how they should do things and this is causing big problems. The Islanders decide that they need to make some rules to help their new community to live together,  but what rules should they make? 
Here are some links to some of the 'rules' that different faiths have - these may help you.

Judaism

Hinduism

Sikhism

Christianity

Islam

Don't forget that we have families in our class who belong to other faiths too. You could ask them about the rules that they have for their religion.


For our class assembly, we will be listening to the words in the hymn Brother, Sister Let me serve you. We will be thinking about what they mean and how we can apply them to school life.
