Commanding Year 4

The Ten Commandments in Year 4 

Recently in RE the children have been studying Judaism. This week they looked at the 10 commandments that Jewish people live by.

The class discussed each one and the importance it held in every day life.  

Next, the children got into small groups and chose a commandments to act out. The sketches showed the children reflecting on a commandment in every day life and how it helped them to make choices. 

The rest of the class became the audience and were able to suggest which commandment had been performed and which decisions had been made based on following these. 

"It was really fun to act out how they must think when they are following the commandments in everyday life." Adalind, Maple 

"I think it would be hard for Jewish children to keep the comandments but I understamd why they may be worried if they don't" - Himanshi, Willow 

Then children were all very sensible in their discussions and were able to reflect on how difficult it might be at times for a Jewish children to keep the commandments.

PSHE Curriculum: Growing and Changing 2025

  

After half term, the children at Broadford Primary School will all be focusing on ‘Growing and Changing’. This part of the programme is designed to help children make healthy choices and keep themselves safe during their school years and beyond.

From September 2020 relationships education became a legal requirement; parts of sex education were already legal requirements before this time, within the National Curriculum. The design of the programme has taken into account the requirements of the statutory guidance, up-to-date best practice guidance, and the needs of our children

Please find below information specific for your child. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact your child's class teacher.
