“I am the Good Shepherd; I know my own and my own know me”. John 10:14"
By the end of this branch, pupils will be able to explain the message of the Good Samaritan story and how it guides Christians in their daily lives. They will describe an initiative where Christians collaborate locally and globally to serve others and make simple connections between Jewish religious practices, such as observing the Sabbath, and how these are celebrated in the synagogue and at home. Pupils will also discuss the importance of respecting diverse beliefs within their local communities.
Through critical and creative thinking, pupils will explore questions like “Who is my neighbour?” and consider thoughtful responses. They will engage with examples of Hebrew calligraphy by a sofer (scribe), asking reflective “I wonder” questions about what they observe. Additionally, pupils will listen to stories and experiences from peers and members of various communities to deepen their understanding.
In response, pupils will reflect personally on the question “Who is my neighbour?” and consider ways they might embody the Good Samaritan’s kindness in their own community. They will also reflect on how communities might be positively transformed if everyone acted as a good neighbor.
