Today in Year 4, we began our new Discovery RE unit by exploring the big question:
"What is the best way for a Jew to show commitment to God?"
We started our learning journey with a fun quiz asking when we are old enough to take on different responsibilities — like owning a pet, going to the shop alone, riding a bike to school with friends, or even making a cup of tea?
Working in talking partners, the children had lively discussions about their opinions, noticing that not everyone agreed on the right age! It was wonderful to see so much thoughtful debate and respectful listening.
The children then created timelines of their lives so far, marking important milestones like starting nursery, beginning school, or learning to ride a bike. This helped them think about how growing up is linked to taking on more responsibility.
Finally, we asked one last important question:
"When are you old enough to decide on your religion?"
The children's answers showed maturity and deep thinking, and we will proudly display them in our next lesson as we move into learning about Jewish commitment — including special milestones like Bar and Bat Mitzvah ceremonies.
It was a brilliant start to our Discovery RE unit, full of reflection, responsibility, and big questions!
Well done Year 4! 🌟
