“I am the Good Shepherd; I know my own and my own know me”. John 10:14"
In this branch of our learning, we will explore the lives of two of of Jesus' closest friends, St. Peter and St. Paul, focusing on their special relationship with Jesus and their important roles in the early Christian community. We will learn about their feast days and the significant moments that shaped their faith. To deepen our understanding, we will invite a guest from our local parish to share their personal journey of faith and explain why being a friend of Jesus matters to them. We will also explore diverse representations of Jesus, including artwork from non-European traditions, to understand the global nature of Christianity. Additionally, we will engage with the rich sensory aspects of faith by learning about the music, food, smells, and clothing from different cultures, helping us appreciate the variety of ways people experience and live out their faith in local communities.
