Year 5- RE

RE in year 5!

During Autumn 1 we will cover three pieces of scripture and enjoy exploring them through a range of activities.

Please see below for a more in-depth look at how each piece of scripture will be covered.

The Burning Bush (Ex 3:1-15)

A covenant is a binding agreement between God and human beings, which makes them his people.

God made several covenants throughout history – with Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David.

We can develop habits that will help us accomplish what is good. These habits are called virtues.

Virtues are practical wisdom (prudence), justice, fortitude, and temperance (also known as the cardinal virtues). Through God’s grace we can enjoy the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love.

Examples of acting with great love (e.g., Little Way week shows the importance of doing small things with great love).

What growing in virtue could mean in their school (e.g., Jesuit Pupil Profile, Virtues to Live By (Diocese of Leeds)).

The Sinai covenant and the Ten Commandments (Ex 19:3-8, 20:1-17)

God gives the Ten Commandments to help human beings live good and happy lives.

That Jesus teaches that the most important commandments are to love God and to love other people.

Catholic Social Teaching helps us to see that loving our neighbour demands a commitment to social change and transformation: ‘We profoundly belong together and are fundamentally dependent on one another’. (YC 321)

Jesus’ summary of the law (Matt 22:36-40)
