This is a joy!
Today I had 11S (Year 11 is 14-15years of age) and as you can see in the Titles we look at relationships.
One task is to answer a series of questions that help reflect on our many relationships. While some finished early through a quick mind and writing speed, I'm sure some whizzed through with one word answers. However there were a group who seriously considered what these questions were asking about their relationships.
I admired their investment in their future, as friends: parents; partners; spouses; siblings; and girl friends.
They seemed to realise that relationships are it!
When these aren't gong well, nothing else has the same spark or energy, taste or joy.
One great movie to watch is, Life as a House. this is a tough story of families and the individuals making sense of their place in life and with each other. It is about forgiveness, stress, life, desperation, and redemption, about healing and about death. It is about the legacy we leave our family and our relationships, and while you are still breathing, you have a chance to make things better.
Another great movie for relationships is 'Uncle Buck' and Simon Birch.
We watch a movie clip from such as it is easy to see different points of view and the affect our behaviour and thinking has in relationships.
You get out what you put in. I try to give every chance to learn, to take an idea that has been shown to make a real impact on life and especially relationships, and translate this into class.
When you see it 'happen', the opportunity taken up, it makes teaching religious education a wonderful joy, not that what I planned worked, but than another person has seen the beauty and potential power within themselves and experienced the richness of their life!
Keep laughing
