The Good Shepherd
Catholic Primary School
“I am the Good Shepherd; I know my own and my own know me”. John 10:14"
Branch 6 Dialogue & Encounter
In Branch 6, Dialogue and Encounter, pupils will explore the concept of "the common good" in a way that is easy for them to understand. They will deepen their knowledge of Catholic Social Teaching principles, learning how these values guide Catholics in working for a fair and caring society. Pupils will also discover how Christians collaborate with people of various worldviews to promote the common good, and they will make connections between some Dharmic beliefs, practices, and ways of life.
Through this, pupils will consider how engaging in respectful dialogue with people who hold different beliefs can be transformative, both for their own lives and for the future of their communities.
Exploring Other Faiths: Judaism
Year 6 took part in an engaging assembly with the whole school, followed by a focused workshop on Judaism. Pupils learned about Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, exploring its significance as a time for reflection and fresh starts. They also discussed Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, understanding the importance of seeking forgiveness and making amends.
Throughout the workshop, pupils had the opportunity to ask questions, participate in hands-on activities, and explore various artefacts related to the Jewish faith. They also made meaningful connections between Judaism and Christianity, deepening their appreciation for shared values and traditions.
