KS1 What do people learn from stories about how the world began? Autumn 2

What do people learn from stories about how the world began?

For the first few weeks of this half term we continued with the question from the first half term.

In the first week we thought carefully about Muslims and how they thank God.  We watched the following video and talked about why Muslims do not waste water.

We found out that Muslims call their God Allah and he has made them 'guardians' of creation.  We also found out that the prophet Muhammad is very important and one of his sayings was:

"Live in this world as if you were going to live for ever"

In groups we thought carefully about what this might mean and how it shows thanks to God.

Humanists live by a Golden Rule and this means that they have to live with kindness and care for the less fortunate.

In small groups we thought about the following 4 questions and wrote our thoughts on to post-it notes.

• If people followed the Golden Rule, would they always do the right thing?

• If they disobeyed the Golden Rule, would they tend to do bad things?

• What are good manners for? Are they anything to do with the Golden Rule?

• If you ruled the world for a day, what rule or rules would you establish to make the world a better place?

To finish our enquiry we discussed and explored what we had learnt.
