E&O P3 RERC 1- 01a Mystery of God: I am discovering God's precious gift of life and

reflect on how this reveals God's love for me.

Core Learning: I can marvel at God’s precious gift of life

by observing the great diversity of plant and animal life created by God (Genesis 1: 11-13 & 20-

25) and I can help to care for it.

P3 RERC 1-25a OWR: I can recall that, in the Genesis story, God created the earth and

everything in it.

TIOF pg 111

Teachers notes:

You should have looked at this core learning from Mystery of God, perhaps at the beginning of

Autumn term.

Read the scripture aloud, encourage shared reading, encourage pupils to search for suitable

images (teacher led on IWB);

encourage pupils to draw an art response,perhaps linking with living things topic, eco-

schools, collaborative display project or similar;

and then later revisiting core learning with an OWR focus.

(Luke 2: 41-50)

The Boy Jesus in the Temple Now every year his parents went to Jerusalem

for the festival of the Passover.

And when he was twelve years old, they went up as usual for the festival.

When the festival was ended and they started to return,

the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but his parents did not know it.

(1 of 3)

The Boy Jesus in the Temple

 Assuming that he was in the group of travellers, they went a day’s journey.

Then they started to look for him among their relatives and friends.

When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for him. After three days they found him in the temple,

sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.

And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.

(2of 3)

The Boy Jesus in the Temple When his parents saw him they were astonished;

and his mother said to him,

‘Child, why have you treated us like this? Look, your father and I have been searching

for you in great anxiety.’

He said to them, ‘Why were you searching for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s

house?’

But they did not understand what he said to them.

E&O P2 RERC 1-06a I have examined some political, social, historical and

religious elements in first-century Palestine and gained an understanding of Jesus' life on earth.

I know that Jesus was brought up by Mary and Joseph

in Nazareth (Luke 2: 39-40) and that they are known as the Holy Family.

I know that Jesus had an ordinary Jewish upbringing surrounded by neighbours, cousins and friends.

I can recognise that Jesus was Jewish and that He went to the synagogue, a holy building, to pray (Luke 4: 16-22).

I know that, as a boy, Jesus went to Jerusalem with his family to celebrate religious festivals. (Luke 2: 41-50) and that we also celebrate religious festivals with our

families, such as Christmas and Easter.

With the help of your teacher

can you find the Psalms and one of the Prophets

in a Bible?

Use one of the picturesabove to find the Prophets.

The Jewish Holy Book is called the Torah.

It contains the Psalms and Prophets.

The pages are in one long scroll.

Can you make a scroll and write and decorate a line of a psalm?
