“I am the Good Shepherd; I know my own and my own know me”. John 10:14"
Year 3 will be learning about the significance of the visit of the Magi and the deeper meanings of the gifts they bring, helping them understand what these gifts reveal about Jesus. They will explore what the kingdom of God is and what it is not, gaining insight through Jesus’ miracles and parables that illustrate his compassion and the nature of the kingdom.
Pupils will examine two of Jesus’ parables and discuss how they reveal the values of God’s kingdom, eventually retelling a chosen parable to link its message with Jesus’ teachings. Additionally, they will learn the Our Father prayer and connect its meaning to building the kingdom of God.
Our Catholic Social Teaching principle will be Solidarity. Children will reflect on how St. Damien of Molokai demonstrated solidarity by living with and caring for people with leprosy, exploring how they, too, can live out this value. Throughout the unit, pupils will be encouraged to consider how people can contribute to building the kingdom of God and what that means for their own actions and choices.
