This term we are going to celebrate difference.
Today we are going to :
- Start to understand that sometimes people make assumptions about boys and girls (stereotypes)
- Understand some ways in which boys and girls are similar and feel good about this
Read the following statements and say whether you agree or disagree
Statements:
- All boys enjoy playing football
- All girls like drawing horses
- Most girls prefer the colour pink to any other colour
- Only boys enjoy computer games
- Most girls dislike football
- Boys prefer Lego to making jewellery
- Boys tend to have short hair
- Girls tend to have long hair
- Girls prefer cooking to playing football
Pause and think
- Are there similarities between what boys and girls like/dislike?
- Are there always differences?
- Can you think of some similarities between boys and girls?
Explain to your child that we sometimes make ‘assumptions’ about boys and girls. Explain that the word assumption means to think something automatically just because they are a boy/girl. Sometimes these can be right but sometimes they are not.
Think about you and your friend or a family member. Draw 4 things that you share that are similar. It maybe your hair colour or you both like music.
Label your shield We are special.

Over the past few weeks we have been exploring who are Jesus' friends. Today we are going to explore a miracle that Jesus performs. Do you know what a miracle is?
A miracle is an extraordinary event which takes place that cannot be explained.
As you can see. Some people were not happy with Jesus. Maybe they were jealous of him or they thought he was doing things that only God himself should be doing or saying.
Today I would like you to draw a comic strip of the story highlighting the different characters feelings and emotions.

This term we are going to explore Jesus, a friend to everyone.
So I would like you to think !
Who did Jesus make friends with?
Create a list of all the people the children can remember.
Jesus made friends with everyone.
He made time to speak to everyone, especially those who were considered by others, as not worthy of being spoken to by anyone.
There are many stories in the Bible that remind us of Jesus’ love for people of all ages and from any social background.
Today we are going to explore the story from Mark's Gospel, Jesus and the Children.
Jesus loved the children and was cross with the disciples for not recognising the importance and the gift a child is.
Today I would like you to produce a piece of artwork showing God's love for children.
Have a look at some ideas below.
