RE – Thinking about community

Our whole-school theme this week is LONDON so in RE we are going to be thinking about community.

We are going to listen to the story of The Good Samaritan.  The Good Samaritan is a parable that Jesus told.  That means it is a story with a special message for us to think about.  Watch the video and then think about the questions.

EYFS & KS1: The Good Samaritan (Beginner’s Bible)

KS2: The Good Samaritan (BBC)

Questions:

How do you think the man felt when people kept walking past him?

Who helped the man in the end?  Why was this a surprise?

How do you think the man felt when he was finally helped?

Think about yourself: Are there some people you are happy to help and some people you do not like helping?  What does this story say about that?

Remember to comment with your ideas and a prayer.
