LC: To describe what Christians mean when they talk about one God in Trinity.
Trinity is a group of three people or things or the state of being three.
Many Christians believe in the Holy Trinity that God is three persons in one- Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
God is described as God the Father because Christians believe that God is the creator of everything and Lord over all the universe.
Scripture example from the bible
Isaiah 64:8
Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.
Are God and Jesus the same person?
God the Son refers to how Christians believe that God chose to come to earth as a human being in the form of Jesus,
the Son of Mary.
Scripture example from the bible
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 10:28-30
I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one.
God the Holy Spirit refers to the power of God in the daily life of a Christian.
Scripture example from the bible
Ephesians 4:29-32
Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear you. And do not make God's Holy Spirit sad; for the Spirit is God's mark of ownership on you, a guarantee that the Day will come when God will set you free. Get rid of all bitterness, passion and anger. No more shouting or insults, no more hateful feelings of any sort. Instead, be kind and tender hearted to one another. anf forgive one another, as God has forgiven you through Christ.
Some Christians use images to represent the Holy Trinity.
Talk about them with your talk partner.
How do you think the images symbolise beliefs about the Holy Trinity?
Share your ideas.
Now record your understanding of Christian beliefs about the Holy Trinity along with an image that you think symbolises it.

LC: To explore how to respect and express individuality and personal qualities. (empowerment) 
Let's think about and discuss.
Fitting In
When we are with our friends or people we do not know, it is human nature to want to ‘fit in’. We like to feel we belong and part of belonging is having things in common with others in the group.
However, sometimes wanting to ‘fit in’ can actually make us do things we don’t feel comfortable with; behaving in a certain way or saying certain things. When this starts to happen, we are compromising our individual thoughts and values.
There are ways to feel we belong without needing to agree with everything others in the group say and without going along with things that go against what we believe, think or feel is right.
Today we will be looking at by being ourselves is important. WE ARE ALL UNIQUE!
Thoughts, Opinions and Feelings
Do we all think and feel the same things?
Do we all hold the same opinions about things?
As we are all individuals, we all have our own thoughts, opinions and feelings. It is OK to think and feel differently to others – we are all unique!
We should respect the thoughts, opinions and feelings of others, even when they are different to ours.
Listening to and respecting the thoughts, opinions and feelings of others helps us to get to know and understand each other better and live and work together more happily.
Although being unique and an individual is a good thing, there are times when this can feel more difficult. A person can be torn between being an individual and 'fitting in'.
What do you think the person should do when faced with the following scenarios?
Scenario 1
Scenario 2
Scenario 4
Scenario 4
Statements of ways to confidently and politely express a different opinion, thought or feeling.
- I respect what you are saying but in my opinion...
- I understand what you are saying but my personal belief is...
- From my personal experience...
- I do think you are making an interesting point. However I feel...
- There are parts of your opinion I agree with. However, in my experience...
I really enjoyed hearing your opinion. I find it interesting that we see things differently.
Our individuality means we all have our own thoughts, feelings opinions and interests. These can be shaped by the special people in our life but ultimately they are unique to us!
Our uniqueness is what makes us special and it is very important to feel confident about being an individual. Be happy to be you – you are wonderful!
You can complete task 1 or task 2.
Task 1
Draw a picture of yourself in the inner box and write all the things which make you unique in the outer box.
Task 2
