INQUIRY QUESTIONWho do you say Jesus is?
ACHIEVEMENT STANDARDYear 3 Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 3, students express their ideas about God’s relationship with people as individuals and communities. They select and use information, ideas and events in texts (including key stories from the Torah; images of God used by the human authors of Old Testament scriptures; and prayers attributed to the saints) to express their ideas about God’s presence and action in daily life experiences; and the order and harmony in God’s creation. Students communicate ideas about the life and teaching of Jesus. They locate and use information about the cultural contexts in which the Gospels were written and the text types used by the human authors of New Testament to communicate their ideas (including the Christian belief that Jesus is the Messiah).
Students recognise how the Scriptures provide a foundation for living a moral life. They identify respect for basic human rights and acknowledgement of responsibilities, in particular for the poor and disadvantaged. Students demonstrate an understanding of the significance of Church community. They explain ways in which the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist) welcome and strengthen members of the Church community. They describe significant people, events and features of a parish and diocese, past and present, including the collaboration of clergy, religious and laity. They identify prayers of thanksgiving and prayers of praise, including Glory to the Father [Glory Be] and demonstrate understanding of the significance of these forms of prayer for Christians. They participate respectfully in a variety of prayer experiences, including meditative prayer, prayers of thanksgiving and prayers of praise.

WEEKLY OVERVIEW
UNIT FOCUS SACRED TEXTS
1 LEARNING INTENTION
Locate information about the cultural contexts in which the Gospels were written and the text types used by the human authors of New Testament texts.
RESOURCES
Students examine the Powerpoint about life in Jesus’ time and identify the cultural contexts about food, transport, occupations, Jewish life…
They record some of these on a class retrieval chart. Students also examine images from Free Bible Images to gain more understanding. They view the powerpoint about the writers of the gospels of Luke and Matthew.
Students are asked about what types of texts might be in the New Testament. They explore narrative, letter and parable by reading an example of each and giving further examples from their own knowledge.
Students explore some different text types in the NTo Greetings and endings of letters (CEV – Colossians 1:2 / Colossians
4:16-18; Romans 1:7 / Romans 16:25-27) – letters show that Paul cared about the people he was writing to and that he wanted to help them remember about the teachings of Jesus and the love God has for them.
o Beginning, middle and endings of stories (narrative) – Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10) – Stories often tell about people Jesus met + students identify structure of story
o Parable – The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) – what was the surprise at the end? That it was a Samaritan who helped the man
o Gospels (stories about Jesus’ life and teachings) – name four Gospels – do they remember any stories + where are these found
Students share with a friend what they have learnt about the text types with a friend.
Assessment:
Students complete a mind map (concept map) under two headings- text types in the New Testament and cultural contexts of the New Testament. They draw examples and annotate these.

2 LEARNING INTENTION Develop an understanding of the word ‘Messiah’ from scripture
RESOURCES
Students create a Question Wall titled:
Jesus asked, "Who do you say I am?" .
Students contribute questions about who Jesus was and what people said
A picture of Jesus in the middle of
about him;
e.g. Who was he? Did he really exist? When did he live? What did he do? What did he say about himself? What did others say about Jesus? What questions did Jesus ask? What questions did Jesus answer? Was Jesus a Christian?
These questions are recorded on large paper strips (one per strip on the same colour) and displayed on the Question Wall so that they can be easily moved.
On a different colour strip the students record the many names for Jesus that they know and remember from scripture;
e.g. teacher, healer, Christ, Lord, Saviour, King, prophet, shepherd, Messiah.
some cardboard.
Coloured strips for the questions
Another colour for the names of Jesus
(See teacher background for information on titles for Jesus.)
Students explore the word ‘Messiah’ using Bible Gateway and select one of the passages that are retrieved through the key word search. Students read the small verse section that refers to the word Messiah. As a whole class students discuss what they have read and heard about the concept of Messiah in the short verses from scripture.
Students discuss where the references to Messiah are found, e.g. the first 17 search results came from the Gospel of Matthew (Teacher note: The search results come up in the order of the Gospels.) Students respond to some key questions such as – “Were there any Old Testament passages in the search results? Why do you think that Messiah might only be in the New Testament?"
Students brainstorm a response to the question
"If there are no scripture references in the Old Testament to ‘Messiah’, where might the idea have come from?"
Messiah Padlet –https://padlet.com/resourcelink/gn5elfq5089j(resources for teaching about The Messiah)
Students begin to explore the Gospel contexts by responding to a wondering question such as “Why might the idea of Messiah have been important to the author of Matthew’s Gospel and his audience?" Students listen as the teacher explains that for Matthew’s audience to believe that Jesus was Messiah, certain expectations and promises had to be fulfilled from the Old Testament, as this was their understanding as Jewish people at the time (see Teacher Background about Matthew writing to Jewish audience and the word Messiah being part of the Jewish vocabulary and understanding of waiting for a Saviour). Explore information on the Jewish understanding of Messiah, from the following sources: How do the Jewish people understand the word Messiah? and Judaism - World Religions for Kids.
Students pose questions and explore the World Behind the Text for Matthew's Gospel: i.e. What can we learn about the context of Matthew's Gospel? - (the historical world of the human author(s); the cultural world of the time; the geographical considerations; the community for whom the text was written.)
When and where was the Gospel of Matthew written?
Who was the intended audience for the Gospel of Matthew?

3 LEARNING INTENTIONS What’s in a name?
What’s in a name?Why might Jesus be named Messiah? Students discuss how and why names might be chosen. Students are invited to interview their parents or carers about the background of their name. Students share responses to questions such as "Why did your parents choose your name for you? Do you know what your name means? Do you have other names?
Students listen to Matthew 1:18-25. Who chose Jesus’ name? What does
Jesus mean? Why do you think Jesus might have been given that name? Why was Jesus called other names?
Explore the ways Jesus was presented as the Messiah.Students listen to the story of the birth of Jesus as written in the Gospel of Matthew. They revise the features of a narrative and identify the parts of the narrative at the end of the scripture reading. World Behind the Text: Discuss with students that, as they have heard, Matthew wanted his audience to know that Jesus was the Messiah so he wrote some clues in the story to let people know this. The clues will be heard as we read the story. World of the Text:The text ( Matthew 1:18 - 2:12 ) is projected onto the class electronic whiteboard for the students to follow as it is being read. Highlight key words and phrases that link with the class Messiah Criteria check list (from Lesson One).
The discovery of a new star in the sky, for people in Jesus’ time and place was a sign that a new King would be born.
The significance of Jesus being born into a royal family, the House of David.
King Herod and the Magi recognised the importance of the birth of Jesus.
The Magi brought gifts that were usually given to kings (gold).Students identify the narrative structure of the beginning, middle and end of the story.
World in Front of the Text: As the Messiah, Jesus is known as God’s son. Believers understand that the messages that Jesus gives are to help
people know God’s plan for them to live life safely and happily and that they are loved by God.
Students discuss that there is another birth story written by Luke.World Behind the Text:
Luke’s audience was different from Matthew’s. Luke wanted readers to know that Jesus had come particularly to rescue the poor and outcast. In this narrative, readers can see that the poor shepherds were the first to hear about Jesus’ birth and to visit Jesus. This shows the reader that Jesus came for to be with the poor and to help them.
World of the Text:
Students listen to the story of the birth of Jesus from the Gospel of Luke 2:1-21. As a whole class students identify things that are different from the story in Matthew's Gospel. Why might this be so?
Students view a clip or digital narrative, such as ‘Nativity Story- Jesus Birth’, to identify which parts in the digital text are from Matthew’s account and which parts are from Luke's account. Students identify which parts of the story (e.g. characters, symbols) from the clip that are not referenced in either of the accounts (e.g. donkey). Complete a Venn Diagram for the two accounts of the stories.
World in Front of the Text: The message in this story is that Jesus is a special baby who will
help everyone, even if they are not rich and important in society. People reading this might understand that Jesus is there to help them also.
Students revise what they have learnt about a Messiah and Jesus as the Messiah.
Guided Meditation
Students participate respectfully in this guided meditation.
Students listen to the reading of the story of the Birth of Jesus that is found in the Gospel of Matthew. For this guided meditation, students will listen to and focus on the part in the story where the Wise Men visit the Baby Jesus.
Assessment-Create a class Y chart (My Prayer Experience) that describes what respectful participation in prayer looks like , sounds like and feels like in Year Three. Students record a self assessment mark at the end of each term. 😊…

5 How can Christians get to know Jesus through prayer?
Students still their bodies and listen to the sounds they can hear inside the room and outside the room. (Mindful listening) Students listen to their breathing. Students are asked to complete the sentence: When I am quiet, I can hear …..
Students watch as the prayer candle is lit. Students are given quiet time in prayer listening to Jesus. Students are invited to talk about times when they feel quiet and peaceful on the inside as well as the outside. They are invited to pray this prayer as an Echo Prayer. .
Gentle Jesus You were God’s greatest helper. You were a helper for the poor, You healed the sick and You were friends with the lonely. Help me to have a loving heartHelp me to lend a helping handHelp me to give a happy smileHelp me to pass on your good news Amen
Students explore some words that are recorded as being spoken by Jesus. These could be written on coloured cards and placed in a Mantra Treasure Chest .
I am with you Do not be afraid Come follow me Listen Peace to you Love God Love your neighbour My peace I give to you. Who do you say I am?
Students pray with the phrase Peace to you and Peace to me. Students breathe in and say "Peace to you" in a quiet voice Students breathe out and say in a quiet voice "Peace to me" When saying Peace to you, students open and spread hands out
