Ask: What is it like to belong to our school? How do we show belonging? eg uniform. Extend ideas of belonging to our school community and what is most important to us as a school. Use PowerPoint on the church Yr. 2 slides 1-13 explore what is found in a church building that shows belonging. Explore belonging using pictures of font; altar and the organ. Ask: What do these pictures show about belonging to the church? What can they tell us about the people who go here? Use slides 20-24 pictures of people (use your own local church people if possible). Ask: How do we know these people go to church? Look at slides 16-24 and think: ‘I wonder what is important to this man/lady?’ What is important to the people in this church?
