“I am the Good Shepherd; I know my own and my own know me”. John 10:14"
Branch 4, Desert to Garden will see Year 4 pupils study key Christian teachings, starting with the parable of the Prodigal Son and its message of God’s mercy and forgiveness. They will connect this with the Judgement of Nations parable, learning that helping others is essential to loving God.
Pupils will sequence Holy Week’s events, discuss different reactions to Jesus, and retell St. Peter’s story, reflecting on times of failure and forgiveness. They will use specialist vocabulary to describe the corporal works of mercy and link these acts to living as a member of the Church.
Pupils will explore examples of people and organizations embodying mercy and love, consider how they can change during Lent to better serve others, and discuss how forgiveness can transform them and their communities.
