Real life heroes in RE

RE
In RE, year 3 are looking at fairness and equality within the world and how we should treat others.
We wanted to look at people who inspire us to be the best versions of ourselves and understand the difference between right and wrong. Many of the heroes we looked at are people who aim to create a positive impact upon the world.

To understand this topic we discussed some BIG questions such as: 

• What is a personal hero? 
• What makes someone a hero/role model?
• Why might we need them?
• Who are our personal heroes and how can we aspire to be like them?

We had a great afternoon discussing these questions and came up with many characteristics of a hero such as caring, kind, helpful, charitable and respectful.  Many children mentioned their friends and family as role models with these attributes that they are inspired by. We even had books such as "Little Leaders", "Fantastically great women who changed the world" and "100 people who made history" to help us research other people that have helped shape the world we live in today and changed the world for the better. 

We can't wait to explore stories from a variety of religions next week to see how we can use these people as role models!
