* Pentecost is a movable feast so should be checked on the liturgical calendar. If the feast falls in June please continue with the following lessons.PENTECOST LESSONS Class: Teacher explains to the class that when we celebrate the feast of Pentecost, we are celebrating the disciples of Jesus receiving the Holy Spirit. Pentecost happened 50 days after Easter Sunday or 50 days after Jesus rose from the dead. The liturgical colour for Pentecost is red and on Pentecost Sunday the priest wears red vestments. Teacher shows the children an image of red vestments and altar (attached to planner). Children dress the class altar in red.

Class: Teacher reads to the class from the bible (Act 2: 1-8) and discusses the story with them. Where were the disciples? What strange noise came from the sky? What touched every person? What were they filled with? What could they do that they couldn’t do before? Do you think they were glad to be filled with the Holy Spirit? Children watch the story of Pentecost. Available at:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfJfX-F06f4

Class: Children complete Pentecost Reporter worksheet (attached to planner). Children imagine that they are a reporter present at the Pentecost scene and write out three questions to ask the disciples after they have been filled with the Hoy Spirit. Children swap sheets with another child and now imagine that they are one of the disciples and answer the questions written on the sheet. Class: Children make a tongues of fire collage (template and instructions attached to planner) to be displayed around the class altar.

another saint and that the Holy Spirit can strengthen me to live a more Christian life.

I know that the Holy Spirit helps me to choose Jesus’ way and therefore to respond to God’s love in my life.

Why do you think this saint was chosen to be our school’s patron saint? What did they do during their lifetime to merit such an honour? Was life difficult for them? Who do you think helped them to be strong and overcome any problems? Teacher explains to the children that the Holy Spirit strengthened the faith of the saints and this gave them the courage to continue living their lives in the way of Jesus. We too can be strengthened by the Holy Spirit and choose to be like Jesus and respond to God’s love in our lives.

Class: Children complete Our Schools Patron Saint worksheet

Class: Teacher explains to the class that God has given us the Holy Spirit to help us to make good choices and to live in the way that Jesus wants us to live. Teacher discusses with the children ways in which we can show we are living in this way e.g. being helpful, telling the truth, being patient. Teacher explains that sometimes it is hard to make good choices e.g. when we really want something, when we don’t want to go to bed, when we are angry. We should always remember that the Spirit is there to help us and to guide us in making good choices and to show God that we love others the same way as He loves us.

Word of God RERC 1-12aI know that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and that I should treat it with reverence.

I can see and understand that the Bible is a special and holy book by the way people use it and treat it with great respect and I can do so too.

I can identify where Sacred Scripture is situated in the local Church and in my classroom.

I know that we find narratives about God in the Bible and that this makes it a very holy book.

I understand that the Bible is the most precious and sacred book for all Christians because it is the Word of God.

I am able to read aloud from sacred scripture in such a way that I am proclaiming the Word of God.

Class: Teacher explains that the Bible is a special and holy book because it contains the Word of God. We should always treat the Bible with great respect and in class we keep the Bible on the class altar. Teacher explains that when we are using the Bible in class lessons, the person picking up the Bible from the class altar should bow before picking it up and carry it respectfully and slowly to the front of the class. When returning the bible, the person should place it respectfully on the class altar, take a step a back and bow. Teacher explains that bowing is a sign of reverence. We bow deeply from the waist at Mass when we go on the sanctuary and near the altar. If you watch closely, you will also see the Priest bowing at different times during the Mass too. Teacher allows the children to practice bowing and respectfully carrying the Bible.

Class: Teacher explains to the class that, in church, the Bible is kept in a special stand called a lectern (images attached to planner). The lectern is placed in front of the pews, so that the priest/reader faces the congregation when he is reading during Mass. Lecterns are normally made of wood, some are plain and some are very ornate.

Class: Children are asked to design their own lectern for their parish church.

Class: Teacher distributes Bibles to the class and explains that it is a very holy book because it contains lots of stories about God Our Father. The bible was written a long time ago and Christians all over the world treat it with great respect because it is the Word of God. Teacher demonstrates to the class how the Bible is divided into two sections- the Old Testament and the New Testament. Teacher explains that the Old Testament contains stories that happened before Jesus was born and the New Testament starts with the birth of Jesus. Teacher discusses Bible stories that the children can recall e.g. Noah’s ark, the wedding feast at Cana and children determine whether they belong to the Old or New Testament.

Class: Teacher explains to the children that when we go to Mass and listen to the priest/reader reading from the bible, they always proclaim, “The Word of the Lord” and we reply, “Thanks be to God.” Teacher explains that when we read the bible aloud to others, we are also proclaiming the Word of God.

Children are given the opportunity to read short passages from the Bible aloud in class, assemblies, prayer services, Mass, etc.

Class: During prayer times, children should be given the opportunity to take the class bible from the class altar, read a passage to the class and then replace the bible back on the class altar.

Son of GodRERC 1-06aI 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 Palestine was part of the Roman Empire.

I can hear, read and recall from the Gospel (Luke 5:1-11) that Jesus chose twelve special friends who are known as the Apostles.

Class: Teacher explains to the class that the country where Jesus was born was called Palestine. Palestine, at that time in history, was part of the Roman Empire. Teacher shows the class a map of the Roman Empire (attached to planner) and helps the children to locate Palestine on the map. Children are given a Map of Palestine (attached to planner) and have to locate places associated with the Bible and the life of Jesus.

Class: Teacher explains to the class that Jesus decided to choose some disciples. Disciples are people who learn from someone else. Imagine the excitement of getting to be with Jesus every day and to learn directly from Him. Teacher reads from the Gospel (Luke 5:1-11) and discusses the reading with the class. Where was Jesus standing? What were the fishermen doing? What did Jesus ask the fishermen to do? What happened next? What did Simon Peter say to Jesus? What did Jesus say the fishermen would now be catching? What did the fishermen then decide to do? Would you have left everything and followed Jesus?

Class: Teacher teaches the class the hymn Follow Me, Follow Me (lyrics attached to planner).Available at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy4A4fkbcoY

Class: Teacher explains that Jesus chose a total of twelve special friends very carefully. He needed people He could trust to send out His message and to continue the work when He was no longer around. The word “apostle” refers to “one who is sent out.” While Jesus was on earth the twelve were called disciples. The twelve disciples followed Jesus Christ, learned from Him and were trained by Him. After Jesus’ resurrection and ascension, Jesus sent the disciples out to be His witnesses. They were then referred to as the twelve apostles.

The names of the twelve apostles are: Peter James John Andrew Philip Thomas Bartholomew

Son of GodRERC 1-06bI have examined the role of Jesus as a teacher and a healer and I have reflected on how His words and actions influence my own life and the life of others.

I can find out about one or more of the Apostles in more depth e.g. Saint Peter, Saint Andrew, and Saint James.

I can hear, read and recall that Jesus healed many people and that we call the healing actions of Jesus miracles:

The healing of the man born blind (John 9:1-7)

The healing of Peter’s mother-in-law (Matthew 8:14-15)

Class: Children are given a photocopied figure of Jesus and a sheet with the faces and names of the twelve apostles (both attached to planner). They cut Jesus and the apostles out, glue Jesus in the centre of a sheet of A3 paper and stick the faces of the apostles around Him. They write above Jesus, at the top of the paper, -Jesus and His Twelve Apostles.

Class: Teacher explains to the class that the apostle Andrew is the Patron Saint of Scotland and his special feast day is 30th November. Teacher tells the children about the life of Saint Andrew. An information sheet for the teacher is attached to the planner.

Class: Children draw the pictures in a storyboard depicting the life of Saint Andrew (attached to planner).

Key Vocabulary – Palestine, apostle, Roman Empire.

Class: Teacher explains to the class that wherever Jesus went, people would bring their sick to him to be healed. Jesus was a very kind and loving person and He wanted to bring relief to the suffering of the sick. These healing actions are called miracles. Teacher reads to the class from the bible (John 9:1-7). Teacher asks the children to imagine what it would be like to be blind and never see people, animals, trees, colours, etc. You would only know darkness in the world and in Jesus’ time you would be nothing more than a beggar, hoping others would show you compassion and give you money to buy food and clothes. Can you imagine how the blind man felt when Jesus spoke to him? What did Jesus do? What did he tell the blind man to do? How did the

Teacher explains that as well as healing the blind man , Jesus helped strengthen the man’s faith, for his simple obedience is all Jesus required. All this man had to do was to trust in Jesus and obey his command.

Class: Children complete Jesus Heals a Blind Man worksheet by writing the words of Jesus, “ Go and wash your face in the Pool of Siloam.”

Class: Teacher reads to the class from the bible The healing of Peter’s mother-in-law (Matthew 8:14-15). Teacher discusses the miracle with the children. Who was ill? What was she suffering from? What did Jesus do? What happened to Peter’s mother –in law? Children can watch animated story. Available on:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaBYU53e0_k

Teacher explains to the children that Jesus has healing hands and just the action of laying his hands on Peter’s mother- in -law cured her of the fever. This miracle shows us the faith of the people and the trust that they had in Jesus.

Class: Children are given coloured cardboard and draw round their own hands. They then cut out and decorate them. The hands could be displayed around the altar with the heading Jesus Has Healing Hands.

together. I know that the word ‘pastoral’ comes from the Latin word for ‘Shepherd’ (Pastor) and that priests try to be like Jesus, the Good Shepherd (John 10:11-15)

I can find out about the pastoral work of priests in the parish and how they show God’s love and care for others.

I know that there are seven sacraments and that, through God’s grace, these help us to be more like Jesus and to grow in faith.

have a pet, it is a big responsibility. You must be willing to take care of it. You have to feed it and make sure it has plenty of water. You must keep it clean and take it to the vet when it is sick. You have to make sure your pet is kept in a safe place and, if it wanders off and gets lost, you must go and look for it and bring it back home. Teacher tells the children that Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd." A shepherd is a person who takes care of sheep. Sheep can't take care of themselves. They need someone to watch over them and care for them. They need someone to protect them from harm. Jesus said he knows his sheep and his sheep know him. He said that he was even willing to lay down his life for his sheep. Jesus must really love his sheep. Teacher reads from the bible (John 10:11-15) to the class and explains that Jesus wasn't really talking about sheep. He was talking about you and me. We are his "sheep." He loves us, he takes care of us and he makes sure that we have everything that we need. He was even willing to give his life so that you and I could live with him forever in heaven.

Class: Children complete The Good Shepherd worksheet.

Class: Teacher explains to the class that priests try to be like Jesus in His role as the Good Shepherd. He loves and cares for his parishioners and watches over them protecting them from danger. The teacher introduces the word ‘pastoral’ to the class and explains that it is a Latin word for Shepherd’ (Pastor). Teacher discusses the pastoral role of priests e.g. he prays with us when we are sick, we can go to him when we are worried about something, he helps us to live more like Jesus, he administers the Sacraments. The parish priest could be invited to the class to answer questions about his pastoral work.

Sacrament of the Sick: In giving the sacrament, the priest anoints the sick person on the forehead and hands. During this anointing, the priest says: "Through this holy anointing may the Lord in his love and mercy help you with the grace of the Holy Spirit. May the Lord who frees you from sin save you and raise you up."

In celebrating this sacrament special graces are conferred on those who are experiencing the difficulties that come from serious illness or old age. Anointing of the Sick helps the recipients grow in faith and trust in God. No matter what their condition is, they are not alone. Jesus is present, forgiving and healing them.

3. The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Peter and tell him, "We have found the Messiah. He brought Peter to Jesus.

4. In the story of the feeding of the five thousand it was Andrew who brought the boy with the loaves and fishes to Jesus.

5. He was martyred by crucifixion, on a cross in the form of an X-shape and died on November 30th.

6. Saint Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland, Greece and Russia.

Teachers’ Information Sheet - Saint Andrew

24


St. Andrew was born at Bethsaida in Israel. He and his brother, Simon Peter, grew up to become fishermen. And when Andrew heard the great St. John the Baptist preach, he became his disciple. When Jesus came to be baptised, John pointed to Jesus and said, "Behold the Lamb of God," Andrew understood that Jesus was greater. At once he left John and followed Jesus. Jesus knew that Andrew was walking behind him and turning back, asked why he was being followed. Andrew said that he would like to know where Jesus lived. Jesus warmly invited him to, "Come and see." Andrew had been with Jesus only a short while when he realized that this was truly the Messiah and he became the first disciple of Christ. Then Andrew brought his brother Simon (St. Peter) to Jesus. The Lord welcomed him as his disciple too.

At first the two brothers continued their fishing trade and family affairs. But soon the Lord called them to stay with him all the time. He promised to make them fishers of men, and this time they left their nets for good. When Jesus wished to feed the five thousand in the desert it was Andrew who pointed out the little boy with the five loaves and fishes. St.

Andrew went through life leading people to Jesus, both before and after Jesus died.

After Jesus ascended into heaven, St. Andrew preached the Gospel in Greece. There, he was put to death on a saltire cross (x shaped), to which he was tied, not nailed. He lived two days in that state of suffering but still found enough strength to preach to the people who gathered around their beloved apostle.

Hundreds of years later, when the king of Scotland faced a large invading army, he prayed for guidance. A white cloud in the form of a saltire cross floated in the blue sky above him and he won the battle. Saint Andrew was named the patron saint of Scotland and the Saltire became the national flag of Scotland. St. Andrew is also the patron saint of Russia and Greece. On November 30th, Saint Andrew is honoured in many parts of the world.
