Topic:

To explore the importance of reflection in the spiritual journey

Recall the scenarios one and two you read last week.  Whose actions were most effective and why?  Would you change any of the actions from scenario one and two?  What might be a different outcome?

Now read scenarios 3 and 4 in the resource:

Scenarios 3 and 4, week 7, Day 1, RE

 Answer the questions thinking about how the actions are linked to what each person wants to achieve.  Discuss these scenarios with a family member. Are there any actions you would change?  Why or why not?

To explore the importance of reflection in the spiritual journey

Since actions are so important on the journey, can you think of a list of acts of kindness that you have done in the past two weeks?

Activity One Spiritual Journey:

Make a poster of your acts of kindness, use colours, pictures, images, even try to make to poem!

Consider how each of your actions have helped your home and community be a better place given the current situation.

To explore the importance of reflection in the spiritual journey

Activity Two Spiritual Journey:

Make a list of your goals in life e.g. Going to university, buying a car, having your dream job, travelling… How do you plan to achieve these goals and are some goals easier to achieve than others?

Which parts of your journey would you plan a special ceremony for? (travelling, university, graduation, becoming hired in a job, a wedding, a new member of the family) Plan a celebration.

Try to list the main parts of your life’s journey so far

E.g. Joining a club that you enjoy and learn from, having a brother or sister, being a peer mentor, visiting family members in another country, finishing primary school.

You could be very creative with this task.  Create a mind map, a diagram, a portrait of you with ideas surrounding your picture, write a poem!

Topic:

To Explore the concept of inspiring someone

Look at pictures of trees.

Use any pictures that you can find on google images with trees, branches, fruit trees.

Discuss how they grow.  What do they need to grow and thrive? 

• Water, sunlight and photosynthesis.

Try to go and find a branch either in your garden or at the park If the branch is cut or removed from the tree. 

• Do you think it will die?
• What do they think the chances are of it bearing fruit?

Think about what a branch needs in order to thrive, to stay lush and green and bear seeds or fruit.  Think of yourself as a branch.  What do you need?

Family, friends, shelter, healthy food, play, the chance to learn.  Create a tree where you include as many aspects as possible that will help you to grow into a healthy, young adult. 

Remember to use colours, other materials, and allow yourself to be creative!

English:

PUBLISH!

Present your little piece of history in any way you like and keep it safe to look back on in the future!

It will be interesting to remember this unusual time in our lives.

Well done!

To Explore the concept of inspiring someone

Imagine you are a branch on a tree.  How could you encourage other branches to grow?  To bear fruit?  What sort of acts could you do at home and in your community to inspire other branches to produce lush, green leaves and fruit?  How could you inspire the whole tree to be its very best it can be? 

Think deeper! How could you inspire a forest to grow?

This time, draw your tree with one large branch representing you.  In each leaf, write down a word or phrase that will help make you and the tree its very best.  Think of your acts of kindness, your manners, your ability to share and to help.

Remember to use colours, other materials, and allow yourself to be creative!
