SESSION ONE: Different ways people live – the Holy LandOur road map – where do we want to go?Learning outcomes
Children will:
• view images that show life in the Holy Land today
• experience aspects of living which reflect life as a
Palestinian child
• identify belonging to different groups.
Source of motivation – why do we want to go there? Picture pack with information and questions to provide
learning contexts.
Powerpoint – My life in Bethlehem.
PrayersSelect from the Classroom Prayers for Lent booklet.
Starting up Today’s questions:
What was it like to grow up with the boy Jesus?
How different are our ways of living from those lived by
Jesus?
What different groups do we belong to?
Thinking challengeUse the picture pack and some of the conversation starters
as a way into the topic.
There are seven pictures: Familiar strangers; a girl in a hajib;
walking with a soldier; medical centre doctor; the separation
wall; Jerusalem scene; refugee children.
Ask open questions. Encourage children to talk to each other
about what they see. Make links to what we know it was like
when Jesus was a boy, eg. Jerusalem was a walled city. Many
different cultures and religions existed there. Roman soldiers
were seen around the streets.
Refer to the RE programme Jesus
strand for further ideas.

2LEARNING IDEAS - YEARS 1 – 3 PARTNERSHIPS FOR CHANGE - LENT 2012
Stop, check – how are we doing? Group reflection. What have we learned so far?
Practice time – getting thereOrganise an activity so that children can experience a
situation that is like living in the Holy Land. For example:
Eat some Lebanese bread and olives or other Mediterranean
food. Dip bread into olive oil. Talk about how the olive tree is
important for people who live in Palestine and Israel.
View images of olive trees on worksheet. Children draw own
interpretations of olives or an olive tree.
WORKSHEET Y1/3-1. The olive tree
Stop and park – how well did we do? Share the thoughts from the children about olive trees.
Recap the idea that we like different foods and different
music and that even though people belong to different
groups, it doesn’t mean we don’t like them.
What new words have we learned?olive Holy Land soldier strangers
orphan refugee Jews Jerusalem
drum olive oil
Practice – getting even better Make a mural or 3D cutout of a large olive tree shape for the
classroom wall. On the branches hang the names of all the
different groups children in the class belong to, eg: whanau/
family, kapa haka, ukulele group, parish family, bus group,
reading group, Room 1, etc.
Caption: We belong to different groups.

SESSION TWO: Jesus showed love and respect for othersOur road map – where do we want to go?Learning outcomes
Children will:
• listen to Scripture stories about Jesus caring for those
who asked for help
• find out the work that people do at the Caritas
Jerusalem medical clinic
• discover how some people can be like guardian angels
to others.
Source of motivation – why do we want to go there? Healing stories about Jesus.
Prayers Select from the Classroom Prayers for Lent booklet.
Starting up Today’s questions:
How did Jesus show care and concern for the sick?
How do I stay well and help others to do the same?
What do guardian angels do?
Thinking challengeBegin by reading to the class some stories of Jesus healing/
saving people.
Stories from Scripture, for example:
• Jesus cures the blind man. Mark 10:46-52 (link to
colouring in picture Worksheet Y1/3-2)
• Jesus cures Jarius’ daughter. Luke 8:40 (link to colouring
in picture Worksheet Y1/3-2)
• Jesus cures the ten lepers. Luke 17:11-19
• Jesus cures Peter’s mother-in-law. Matt 8:14
Ask the children to re-tell one of the stories to another
person.
WORKSHEET Y1/3-2. Two pictures to colour in – Jesus made
people well
Follow up by considering the healing work of Christians
today, for example Caritas running a clinic, organising an
ambulance service for poor people, and taking care of
refugees after their houses were destroyed.
You can see what Caritas is doing by visiting the photo gallery
on our website.
In particular look at and talk about:
WORKSHEET Y1/3-3. Caritas Jerusalem is doing the work of
Jesus today
Draw lines to the picture which shows how Caritas works to
help care for the sick.
Stop, check – how are we doing? Group reflection.
How is Caritas doing the healing work of Jesus today?
When Jesus healed people and made them well, what else
happened afterwards?
Practice time – getting thereWe need to stay well too, so what are some things we need
to remember in order to keep well?
Make a list. For example:
- wash our hands before eating
- cover our face when we cough
- get plenty of sleep …
Another important way to stay well is to manage how we
feel. Sometimes we worry or feel frightened.
Did you know that you have a guardian angel who watches
over you and guides you?
For further work on this refer to RE primary books Year 1, God is Creator. Lesson 12: Angels-God’s messengers
Read the poem Your Guardian Angel. Talk about what this
poet is saying.
There is a short poem about a guardian angel in the worksheet.
Guardian Angel
I have a guardian angelWho doesn’t grant wishes,Or sprinkle magic fairy dust.Rather they tell me when I should,When I shouldn’t,And when I must.Mary Salter (2001)Sourced 8 October 2011 and slightly adapted from http://www.angel-guide.com/guardian-angel-poems.html
4LEARNING IDEAS - YEARS 1 – 3 PARTNERSHIPS FOR CHANGE - LENT 2012
Invite children to take a copy of this poem and decorate it
with all the things that are important to them at this time.
WORKSHEET Y1/3-4. Guardian Angel poem
Be a guardian angel! Helping people who are scared and troubled… One of the special ways we can help people get better is to
show how much we care for them.
In the Holy Land there are people who have volunteered
(explain) to be with people when they are frightened or feel
unwell. They give families some hope that nothing bad will
happen to them. These people act like ‘guardian angels’. You
can see some pictures of them in the photo gallery. They are
called Accompaniers (EUs).
Stop and park – how well did we do? Recap. We have found out that:
• Jesus made people well again after being sick or in need
of help.
• People carry on the work of Jesus today in places where
people are suffering.
• Some people act like guardian angels and this helps
other people feel better and more hopeful when times
get tough.
I can talk with my guardian angel about anything and trust
that God’s messenger understands.
Say together a prayer of petition asking Jesus to be with the
volunteers, giving them strength and courage when they face
troubles.
What new words have we learned?clinic healing cure
guardian angel Caritas volunteer
suffering
Practice – getting even better Think of different ways you could cheer up someone who is
feeling unwell or sad.
For example we could…
tell a joke; have a laughing contest; sing some silly songs;
solve a jigsaw together; have a ‘silly walk’ contest to see who
can make people laugh the most; or bake a ‘happy cake’.
Recipe for a Happy Cake
Make any kind of cake but a round shape is best.
With plain paper cut out two circle shapes for eyes and
one wide grin for a smile (like a smiley face).
Place these paper shapes on the top of the cake.
Shake icing sugar through a sieve over the top of the
cake and carefully peel off the paper cut outs.
Look!!!! Your Happy Cake!
Share, eat and enjoy.

Your Guardian Angel
You have a Guardian Angel
Who watches over you
Everywhere you go
And everything you do.
This gentle, silent helper
Is there to be your guide
To shelter and protect you,
And for you to walk beside.
Your Angel will always help you
Whenever things go wrong,
They’ll be the wings beneath your feet
As Life’s path you walk along.
Feel this calming presence
Be enfolded by its love
And let your life be guided
By a power from above.

SESSION THREE: We follow Jesus by caring for othersOur road map – where do we want to go?Learning outcomes
Children will:
• become familiar with ways Jesus demonstrated God’s
love in the world
• understand that we can follow Jesus’ example by the
way we treat others
• record different ways to care for each other.
Source of motivation- why do we want to go there? Make large poster cards for the wall with the words:
SAY words to show I care.
DO jobs to show I care.
THINK thoughts to show I care.
GIVE things to show I care.
Prayers Select from the Classroom Prayers for Lent booklet.
Starting up Today’s questions:
In what ways did Jesus care for those in need?
How do people care for each other today?
What are some ways we could show caring?
Thinking challengeCaring – what does this mean? What does this look like?
Talk about how people have different roles in bringing God’s
presence and love to the world. People like rescue workers,
nurses, volunteers, office workers, teachers, missionaries,
priests and religious leaders. Jesus brought God’s love to the
world by acting with tika – justice, pono – faithfulness, and
aroha – love and compassion. Refer to different stories from
the Gospels.
Jesus cared for the poor and sick.
Jesus loved all people.
Jesus helped people in need.
Caring is about how we treat each other. Showing
concern, being kind, sharing, helping and giving, are all
ways we show we care.
Examples:
If you share that block of chocolate with others you are with,
that’s caring.
If you help your Dad clean up a room or outside, that’s
caring.
If you help your old grandparent to a chair while you sit on
the floor, that’s caring.
If you pass the plate of food around before helping yourself,
that’s caring.
Share other ideas.
Read or tell a story about someone who cared deeply.
Four important ways to show that you care are through your
words, actions, thoughts and gifts.
Display the poster cards and talk about each of them. What
are some examples if we are to put these into action?
SAY words to show I care.
eg. ‘You have a lovely smile today!’
DO jobs to show I care.
eg. ‘I’m going to share out pieces of my birthday cake
today.’
THINK thoughts to show I care.
eg. ‘Who is someone who
needs our prayers today?’
GIVE things to show I care.
eg. ‘Here’s some pocket
money for the Caritas Koha
box today.’
Summarise the following ideas:
Caring words
You can say kind words to other people, even to people you
don’t like very much.
You can give people a compliment.
Sometimes the kindest words are the ones you don’t say.
Don’t tell mean stories.
Caring actions
You can share your ideas, toys, sweets.
You can help with little jobs at home.
You can care about the pets at your place or other pets at
your friend’s/neighbour’s place.
Caring thoughts
Caring thoughts can lead to caring actions because often
what we think about is what we do.
Kind thoughts about someone else can make you feel more
happy and peaceful inside.
Send away grumpy thoughts of others and replace them with
‘smiley’ thoughts.
Caring gifts
You can buy gifts but often the ones you make are even
better to show you care.
Give when you are in the mood, not just on birthdays or
holidays.
Some gifts can work for many people to enjoy – like planting
a tree or cleaning up the litter by the stream.
6LEARNING IDEAS - YEARS 1 – 3 PARTNERSHIPS FOR CHANGE - LENT 2012
Stop, check – how are we doing? Recap what we learned in session one and session two.
Practice time – getting thereWORKSHEET Y1/3-5. Four ways to show caring
Read out these different scenarios. Invite children to come
up with a caring solution.
What if?• Your brother never puts his toy trucks away, so you
decide to do something nice for him. You start to put
his toys away every night before you go to bed. You’re
doing something kind for your brother but are you really
helping him? Why or why not? What is another way to
show you care?
• You have a friend who doesn’t like to share their toys
with you. Do you let them play with your toys? What
might you do to help your friend and also show you
care?
• You have a friend who borrowed your bike. They
returned it the next day but it was damaged. They left
it on the driveway and didn’t even say they were sorry.
What might you do to let your friend know you still care
for them?
Even though some people won’t always treat you in the
same caring way, over time people will usually appreciate
your kindness and show kindness back.
You might think of some other incidents that have happened
at your school.
The above has been adapted from What do you stand for – a guide to building character, by Barbara Lewis. Free Spirit Publishing.
Stop and park – how well did we do? Caring about others is important if we want to have good
friends and live peacefully.
Can you think of one thing that has happened today already
to show that someone cares for you?
What new words have we learned?caring words actions
thoughts gifts friends
peaceful
Practice – getting even betterDuring the week focus on ways to improve our relationships
with others. A few starter ideas…
• Bring to class some baby photos and try to guess who?
• Create a friendship bracelet. See instructions.
• Go on a ‘flip a coin’ walk and enjoy the time together
on a random walk/bike ride. This can be fun. With
your family or a friend go to the front gate. Flip a coin
to decide whether you go left or right. If it’s ‘heads’
then turn right. If it’s ‘tails’ then turn left. Continue to
the next street or block and flip again to decide which
direction to take. Decide how many blocks or streets
you’ll go till you flip the coin again. This can lead to some
surprising places!

SESSION FOUR: Six ways to grow as a caring personOur road map – where do we want to go?Learning outcomes
Children will:
• explain through storytelling how they try to build strong
relationships through caring
• demonstrate ways they can be more caring.
Source of motivation – why do we want to go there? Locate a local story from the news, magazine, school
newsletter, etc. about someone who demonstrates care for
others.
PrayerSelect from the Classroom Prayers for Lent booklet.
Starting up Today’s questions:
How do I show that I care for people at home?
What are six reminders about how to grow in caring?
What is something I can do to show I am a follower of
Jesus?
Thinking challengeTeacher tells a personal story of caring for someone or a
place or use something from a local news story.
For example: giving a haircut to someone unable to leave
their house; teaching their grandmother how to send an
email or Skype as a way to keep in touch.
Invite children to tell a story about how their family tries to
keep the peace and care for each other at home. As different
children share their stories, teacher composes a list of the
caring actions in the children’s stories.
Stop, check – how are we doing? Group reflection.
Ask what would happen if nobody cared? What is it like
when people really DO care?
Practice time – getting thereThere are six ways to remind us how to grow in caring.
Introduce the C. A. R. I. N. G. acronym.
1. Care about others. Be kind, helpful and share.
2. Ask about other people. Be a good listener.
3. Respect all property, people, animals and the Earth.
4. Include others. Watch to see if anyone is left out and
invite them to join in.
5. Never hold a grudge. Forgive others, and they will
probably forgive you, too.
6. Give to others. Help other people feel good, learn and
grow.
