In RE this half term, Year Four have begun their new RE topic all about Salvation.
Our big question is:
“How does believing Jesus is their saviour inspire Christians to save and serve others?”
Being Rescued -
We started today by thinking about what it means to be rescued. The children shared brilliant ideas about people who save others — from firefighters and lifeguards to superheroes in films! We discussed how being rescued makes us feel safe, cared for and thankful.
The children then created their own drawings to show times when people might be rescued, adding words like brave, thankful, happy and relieved. This helped us to begin thinking about how Christians believe Jesus is their rescuer.
Jesus and Zacchaeus -
Next, we explored the Bible story of Zacchaeus the tax collector. The children enjoyed watching the story and then reflecting on what changed for Zacchaeus after he met Jesus.
We thought about what Zacchaeus was like before — greedy, selfish and disliked by many — and what he was like after— forgiven, generous and ready to make things right. The children captured this in comic strips, before-and-after drawings and speech bubbles showing what Zacchaeus might have said.
The children have made a fantastic start to this unit, showing curiosity, creativity and deep thinking.
We can’t wait to see how their learning develops as we continue to explore how Christians believe salvation inspires them to help others in the world today.
