Our RE topic this term has been what rules should we follow? We have spent a lot of time discussing the rules we have in our society, at home and in other places. We have looked at the story of Adam and Eve and how they broke God's rule to not touch the tree of knowledge. Children also explored the ten commandments and discussed their importance and relevance. 
 

This week, we looked at Jesus' command:
'To love others as I love you' 
 

Through this, we explored the story of the good Samaritan. A well known story of how we can follow Jesus' rule no matter who we are. 
Children acted out the story in their own way, taking on the role of each character.

We discussed why each character may have behaved in the way they did and which rules they chose not to follow... but could all rules be followed all the time? 

In the end, we looked at modern versions of this tale and discussed that Jesus' rules for us can make us better people if we strive to follow them.
