Year 3
Year 3 have been investigating faiths from around the world. We have used this information to create shape poems using alliteration.
In RE we have compared the similarities and differences between Christianity and other world faiths.
| Christianity Christians are people who believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Jesus Christ, who was crucified around A.D. 30 in Jerusalem, is the founder of Christianity. He is the Son of God and came to earth to teach.
Jesus was a Jew who was born about 2000 years ago in Bethlehem. He lived for 33 years before being crucified by the Romans.
Christians believe that God made the world and that there is only one God, the Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit.
The Christian place of worship is called a Church. This is where we celebrate together and pray, teach, and learn.

What are the similarities and differences between Christianity and Hinduism?
Hindus believe in their God called Brahman. The gods of the Hindu faith represent different forms of Brahman, whereas Christians have one god.
Hindus have a place of worship called the Mandir. This is a temple and similar to a Christian church because it is here that Hindus come together to worship and pray.
Unlike Christianity and the Holy Bible, Hinduism does not have one sacred book but several scriptures. The most ancient sacred texts of the Hindu religion is called the Vedas.

What are the similarities and differences between Christianity and Judaism?
Christianity shares a number of beliefs and practices with other religions, particularly Judaism. With Judaism, Christians believe in one God, who created the universe and all that is in it.
Christianity and Judaism are similar because The Old Testament and the Torah (Jewish Holy Book) have the same content. The Jews believe that the Messiah is coming, while Christians believe that Jesus Christ was the Saviour and are now waiting for his second coming.

In Year 3 we have been thinking about what gifts are and what they mean to us. We have discussed the importance of giving as well as receiving. We have talked about gifts not always being parcels but how we can give by helping or listening, the gift of life and the wonderful things around us, the gift of love of family and friends. These are all gifts which are precious to us and more important than any other gift we may ask for. |
RE
In RE, Year 3 have been describing experiences and feelings they share with others, including characters with religious meanings. We looked at the first part of the Christmas story when the Angel Gabriel visited Mary. We then described how we think Mary would have felt.
I think Mary felt astonished when she saw the Angel Gabriel because I would feel astonished if I saw her. When Mary saw Angel Gabriel she must have felt confused because she wasn’t sure why she had been chosen.When the Angel Gabriel visited Mary, Mary must have felt protected because God’s messenger was in her house. When Gabriel visited Mary, Mary would have felt blessed by God.The Angel Gabriel’s visit must have changed Mary’s life because she was the chosen one to be the mother of the Son of God.
By Xanthe Swann
When the Angel Gabriel visited Mary I think Mary felt nervous, stunned, anxious and surprised because the Angel just appeared. I would be nervous if an angel just appeared like that. I think it changed her life because she was going to have the Son of God. I think it changed her life because she was getting married to Joseph. I think it meant a lot to her and she probably felt important, elated and special.

Year 3 have been thinking about who God is and what He means to us.
If God was an animal He would be a lion because He is not scared of anything and He is as fast as lightning.
By Anja
If God was a flower He would be blossom because He is wonderful.
By Megan
If God was a colour He would be gold because He is bright and the light of the world.
