The children this week began exploring the Communion of Saints Strand in Religious Education. The topic for the Year 3 RE programme is 'Life, Death and Christian Hope.
This week we looked at sad times in our life. The children shared with the class times when they have been sad. A theme that was common amongst all the children was the death of a pet. I still remember receiving my first two goldfish from Santa when I was five years old. I named them Cain and Able. Great sadness when they passed away. Since then, I have had many goldfish and have experienced a few dogs passing away. The children in Room 8 also expressed the death of a family member, the earthquake, fights between friends as times of sadness in their lives.
Today we looked at how we can help someone in sad times. One of the children in Room8 is going to share their ideas on the blog. However, the song Lean On Me by Bill Withers is a great song to remember that when we are in a difficult time, we have friends and support in the people around us.
Lean On Me,
Mister A
