E&O P3 RERC 1- 01a Mystery of God:
I am discovering God's precious gift of life and reflect
on how this reveals God's love for me.
Core Learning:
I can marvel at God’s precious gift of life
by observing the great diversity of plant and animal life
created by God (Genesis 1: 11-13 & 20-25)
and I can help to care for it.
P3 RERC 1-25a OWR: I can recall that, in the Genesis
story, God created the earth and everything in it.
TIOF pg 111
Teachers notes:
You should have looked at this core learning from Mystery
of God, perhaps at the beginning of Autumn term.
Read the scripture aloud, encourage shared reading,
encourage pupils to search for suitable images
(teacher led on IWB);
encourage pupils to draw an art response,
perhaps linking with living things topic, eco-schools,
collaborative display project or similar;
and then later revisiting core learning with
an OWR focus.

The Boy Jesus in the Temple
Now every year his parents went to Jerusalem
for the festival of the Passover.
And when he was twelve years old,
they went up as usual for the festival.
When the festival was ended
and they started to return,
the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem,
but his parents did not know it.

The Boy Jesus in the Temple
Assuming that he was in the group of travellers,
they went a day’s journey.
Then they started to look for him
among their relatives and friends.
When they did not find him,
they returned to Jerusalem to search for him.
After three days they found him in the temple,
sitting among the teachers,
listening to them and asking them questions.
And all who heard him were amazed
at his understanding and his answers.
(2of 3)
The Boy Jesus in the Temple
When his parents saw him they were astonished;
and his mother said to him,
‘Child, why have you treated us like this?
Look, your father and I have been searching
for you in great anxiety.’
He said to them, ‘Why were you searching for me?
Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?’
But they did not understand what he said to them.

E&O P2 RERC 1-06a
I have examined some political, social, historical and
religious elements in first-century Palestine and gained an
understanding of Jesus' life on earth.
I know that Jesus was brought up by Mary and Joseph
in Nazareth (Luke 2: 39-40) and that they are
known as the Holy Family.
I know that Jesus had an ordinary Jewish upbringing
surrounded by neighbours, cousins and friends.
I can recognise that Jesus was Jewish and that He went
to the synagogue, a holy building, to pray (Luke 4: 16-22).
I know that, as a boy, Jesus went to Jerusalem with his
family to celebrate religious festivals. (Luke 2: 41-50)
and that we also celebrate religious festivals with our
families, such as Christmas and Easter.
