Religious Education in the Classroom
Year 1 students visited St Augustine’s Grottos to provoke their interest about different prayer spaces. Provocations encourage students to think independently by encouraging their interests and the exploration of those interests. The following visual questions were used to provoke their interest: What do you see? What do you think is going on? What does it make you wonder? This was linked to composing prayers to use in different spaces.

Gospel, Mark 3:20-35

This passage focuses on two main points. Firstly, the scribes (copyists and teachers of the Law in biblical times) criticizing Jesus and spreading rumours that he was “possessed by an unclean spirit”. Secondly, Jesus informs his audience that any person who does the will of God becomes a member of His family. 

Reflection
How can I show respect to others? How do I negotiate confrontation? How do I include others within my family or my friendship group?

Enjoy your week!

May peace be with you,
