Activity 8 – RE Theme Day ‘Love your neighbour’ in action

September 8, 2014

Rev Helen Van Koevering visits Southall from Mozambique to collect eight banners made by Blair Peach pupils on the gifts of the Spirit

Creating a collaborative ‘gift’ or designing a fundraising campaign for our local church or overseas neighbours (Companion Link)

Consider jointly planning an RE theme day with your local church to enable pupils, staff and parents to engage in an extended reflection with an individual, local and global ‘virtues in action’ focus. This enables pupils to consolidate their understanding of concepts, consider what difference  learning about ‘Loving your Neighbour as yourself’ makes to believers and to themselves. Through creating a ‘gift’, sharing in a project or fundraiser between their local church and overseas Companion Link pupils engage in social action, experiencing what it is like to ‘Love your neighbour’ .

This part of the unit can be undertaken as a cross-curricular project linked to Art or DT teaching and learning.  The applied learning via the extended creative reflection involving creating gifts for our local or global neighbours,  allows for useful assessment opportunities both of theological understanding and personal reflection. This ‘gift-giving’ opportunity can be initiated through the school’s communication with the local church and their overseas church community.(Companion Link) 

SIAMS and Global Neighbours These activities support schools on meeting SIAMS criteria for example ‘Courageous Advocacy’ and complements the Christian Aid, Global Neighbours Accreditation Scheme.
