What did you learn in RE last week?

In this lesson we are going to look at the beliefs and the values in the story of 'Calling of the Fisherman'.

What is a belief?

It is an acceptance that something exists or is true, whether or not there is proof or evidence.

For example, I believe in witches.

What is a value? 

They’re unwritten rules that set the standards of behavior in our daily life. There are many values. Some good. Some bad. 

Good: Friendly, good speaker, kind, good listener, hard working, honest, brave, confident, organised, intelligent, perseverance

We are going to watch the story of the 'Calling of the Fisherman' again. 

Watch and listen carefully. We will identify the religious teachings in the story.

Calling of the fisherman

How did Simon Peter show his belief in Jesus?

Why might Simon Peter want to follow Jesus and leave everything behind?

Peter’s name was Simon, but Jesus changed it to Peter, which means ‘rock’.
