Learning About Compassion 🌟
This week in Religion, Year 1 students have been exploring the beautiful Mercy Value of Compassion. They have learnt that God wants us to be compassionate and kind, just like Jesus.
🕊️ Exploring Scripture
We reflected on a simple but powerful verse from the letters of Saint Paul:
“God loves you very much, so be kind, gentle, and patient with others.”
Together, we discussed:
Who is God talking to? (Us!)
What does God want us to do? (Be kind, gentle, patient.)
Our students also learned what it means to “clothe yourself with compassion.” We used a fun analogy: Just like we put on our school uniform each day, we also put on our “kind hearts” and “helping hands” to live like Jesus.
✨ Bringing Compassion to Life
To make this message more meaningful:
We used our imaginations to pretend we were putting on “compassion coats” and “kindness scarves.”
We talked about how we can show compassion at school, at home, and with our friends.
Each child created a Compassion Heart—a drawing or message showing how they can show kindness.
We are so proud of our Year 1 students as they grow in faith, kindness, and understanding of what it means to live compassionately, just like Jesus.
