Year 4 RE Spring First Half Term

RE - 11th February - The Transfiguration

Read the different versions of the transfiguration from the different Gospels, (Matthew 17, Mark 9 and Luke 9) then watch the video below. Write your own version as a diary entry from the point of view of one of the people who was there. Include your thoughts and feelings about what happened. What does God say about his Son at the Transfiguration? Include it in your writing.

What questions might you have asked Jesus, Moses and Elijah if you had been there?

Challenge 2

In the story of the Transfiguration and the Baptism of Jesus he is revealed as the Beloved Son. Why do you think his relationship with God was so important to him? What do you think God might say about us?

Challenge 3

Think about all the different things you have learnt about Jesus from his Presentation, Baptism and Transfiguration. Imagine you were about to meet somebody who had never heard of Jesus before. Create a leaflet about him from these three events in his life.

As we start this new year, there are many things that are strange and different. Here is a prayer to ask God to be with us to help us all through this time and keep us safe until we can all be together again in school.

Why not write your own prayer for the new year? In school we are going to write a prayer for the new year to put on our RE display. You can send your prayers in via Teams if you'd like to share them!

We have had some beautiful new year prayers handed in. Here are a few I would like to share.

Dear God,

Please help us to get through all the difficult times ahead.

Help all the children in schools to stay healthy.

Help people less fortunate than me.

Help all the hospitals to cope in these difficult times.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen
