This week Team CH have been exploring how faith can contribute to community cohesion. We started by recognising that Jews believe God has given us them some rules to follow.
We introduced children to the story of Moses and the 10 Commandments is from Exodus 20: 1 - 17. According to the Bible, Moses led the Jewish people out of slavery in Egypt towards the Promised Land. When they had arrived at Mount Sinai God spoke to Moses and Moses received the torah - usually translated as law. The best-known of these commandments are the Ten Commandments - but there are actually 613 of them, covering all aspects of life. Children were given opportunities to talk about the importance of rules and to think about how their actions can impact on others. Actions have consequences. We showed this by playing a game that involved four children holding up signs. The first one says 'I shouted out an answer in class'; the second 'I kicked my friend in the back'; the third 'I talked to my friend instead of listening to the teacher'; the fourth 'I didn’t do my work'. We provided children with the opportunity to discuss how the first person didn’t follow the rules and made the wrong choice - which resulted in their friend getting angry and kicking them - which is also not following the rules. Both were unhappy. Another child was talking when they should have been listening. Finally we finished by revisiting the ten commandments and sharing important rules that we have in and out of school.
