RE

Monday 1st February

L.O: To explore how we give and receive thanks

Our new RE topic is about giving thanks. Today, we are thinking about different ways of saying thank you. Talk to your grown up about times when you have thanked someone or when you received thanks. How did you feel?  Read the story below and answer the questions.

1. Why was Mrs. Hegarty thanked?
2. How did different people say thank you to her?
3. How do you think Mrs. Hegarty felt?
4. Which way would you choose to say thank you?

Activity- complete the table to show different times and ways we give thanks. Some ideas-

• • school: being kind to others, words of thanks.
  • home: being helpful, a kiss, a hug.
  • community: doing a good turn, a letter, a phone call, email, or text.

Ext:

Make a thank you card for someone in your family. Think about what you are saying thank you for and how might the person feel to hear you say thank you.
