This half term we are reminding ourselves what our Christian values LOVE and RESPECT mean.  

We have listened to this poem and use it to help us think about what respect means.

Respect is ...

Readiness to listen

Everyone being valued

Showing appreciation

Praying for people

Expressing opinions sensitivity

Caring for our environment

Treating property carefully

We have looked at the Golden Rule mosaic presented to the United Nations in 1985 and explored the words:

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."  Matthew 7.12

Ask your child to explain to you what these words mean to them.

Matthew 21 is a story that teaches us the importance of showing respect for special places. This was an occasion when Jesus got very angry because the temple, a special place of worship,  had been turned into a marketplace.
