RAVE in the Junior School
As part of the curriculum in our Junior School, students engage in a Religion And Values Education (RAVE) lesson for half an hour each week. These lessons are designed to broaden the students understanding and respect for values and beliefs that may differ from their own.
The first lesson for Term 3 was based around Nelson Mandela, looking at who he was, what he did and why he is considered an important person in history. In the pictures below you can see how the Year 2 girls responded to the lesson. The students included a sentence about Mr Mandela and used pastels to create a drawing that encapsulated their understanding.
‘I love how Nelson Mandela tried to be friends with the white people and helped to change the world.’ Julia
‘I loved how Nelson Mandela was really helpful and really tried to make everyone friends.’ Ira
‘Nelson Mandela was amazing because he changed the world to make it more fair.’ Sophie
‘Nelson Mandela, brave not perfect.’ Emily
‘Nelson Mandela was a very good man and was very kind’. Elin
