RE Year 2 - how to be a good friend?

RE - Year 2 - How do I become a good friend? This high-quality resource is the first lesson within a 6 lesson unit titled ‘Friends and Followers’ (to be uploaded over the next couple of weeks). By the end of this unit, pupils will have retold biblical and Jewish stories, suggesting meanings to these and making comparisons while exploring the theme of friendship.
This lesson looks at retelling the story of the Good Samaritan whilst thinking about how they can define friendship. They then think about how they can be more like the Good Samaritan at home, school and in their community.

WHAT IS INCLUDED?
An attractive and editable PowerPoint lesson, all slides come with detailed notes that indicate key discussion points and knowledge while highlighting key questions. This includes:

• Retrieval activity – what does friendship mean to them
• Key vocabulary
• Exploring the story of the Good Samaritan
• Class activity (tunnel of advice)
• Discussion - how can you be like the Good Samaritan?
• Modelling of the worksheets
