Good Morning Year 2!
Click here for a printable version of this blog post: Monday RE printable
Well done for all your wonderful work on our topic of Pentecost. Today we are starting a new topic called:
Reconciliation
Reconciliation is a very fancy word that means being forgiven after you have done something wrong and apologised for it.
We all know that we want to make good choices and that we sometimes make wrong choices. If we make a wrong choice, we then say sorry and we are reconciled with that person again, we’re back to being friends.
For today’s big question, I want you to think about:
Why are rules important?
Remember that a big question often means you have to think hard and talk about it with members of your family as there are lots of ways you can answer it.
Things you could think about:
- Where do we have rules?
- Who needs to follow rules?
- Do we have different rules in different places?
Where do we have rules?
We have rules in schools, home and offices.
Who needs to follow rules?
Children and grownups need to follow the rules.
Do we have different rules in different places?
We do have different rules in different places but one rule we have to follow is to be kind and respect other people.
Well done Marisa, I agree with you – being kind is the most important rule.
1. We have rules at home, school, parks and restaurants.
2. Kids, adults and everyone in the world need to follow the rules.
3. Yes, we have different rule because every place is different so they always have different rules and they may have there own rules.
Well done Layla. We do have different rules in different places because there might be different things to think about!
Where do we have rules?
Who needs to follow rules?
Do we have different rules in different places?
We need rules to make sure that everyone can be safe and happy, and to encourage everyone to be considerate and kind towards others. It’s important to try to obey the rules, for example at school, church or home. At the moment there are extra rules because of Covid 19 so that we don’t catch the virus, and it doesn’t spread too quickly, and recently the government said that we don’t have limited time outside and that we can have picnics and other things. It’s not good when there are too many rules which stop us doing all the fun things we like to do. There also have to be rules on roads so cars don’t crash into each other or into pedestrians. The same rules go with cyclists!
What interesting thoughts Rex. You’re right, we do have lots of extra rules at the moment to keep us safe.
1. We have rules everywhere including public places, at home and even churches.
2. Everyone needs to follow the rules including the queen so we can make the right choices.
3. We do have different rules in different places but one rule that is always important to us is to be kind and generous.
Brilliant Sophie. I agree, being kind is the most important thing to remember.
Yes Rex you’re right we really have had to follow a lot of rules lately to keep us safe during Covid 19. It’s been hard keeping up with all the changes but at least we can do a few more enjoyable things now.
We have rules in school & at home.
Everybody in the whole world needs to follow rules.
Yes we have different rules at school than we do at home. If we obey the rules it means it’s fair on everyone.
I like rules because they help you learn and they teach you to not say things & they show you what you can and can’t do.
Well done Romey. I agree, rules keep it fair for everyone.
We have rules at home like not watching too much iPad ?or too much Roblox because we would never do our school work. Also not eating too many sweets ? as it is bad for our teeth ?.
We have rules at school to be good or we will go down the rainbow ? and be sent to Miss Coleman ???.
There are rules in the park? like no dogs without a leash ??? so they don’t hurt children ?or toilet on the grass ?. Sometime they say no cycling so people don’t get hurt by the bikes ?.
Well done for thinking of all your different rules!
I think rules are important because they can keep us safe.
We have rules in church, school and on the road.
we all need to follow rules.
Good thinking Rafael.
We also have rules on the football pitch don’t we Rafael?
Why are rules Important?
We have rules at school and at home and everywhere really.
Rules at school are respect each other, listen to the teacher and be nice.
There are also rules at parks and offices and home.
At home the main rule is brush your teeth.
Dogs also have rules. The main rule is they must not go to the toilet in the house.
Everybody in the world needs to follow rules or the world would be crazy. Sometimes people break the law and have to go to court. Judges decide if they can go or if they have to go to prison. They decide by making big decisions about what the person did and how serious it is. If its not the most serious they can go home but if you stole the crown jewels you would definitely go to prison.
I think rules are good because they help people learn how to be good.
Brilliant Nadine, you’ve really thought hard about lots of different rules.
Where do we have rules?
We have rules at home, school, fun fairs, parks and churches.
Rules are important as they keep us safe and help us do things the correct way.
Who needs to follow rules?
Everyone needs to follow rules.
Do we have different rules in different places?
We have different rules that have to be obeyed. There are rules at school and rules at home. We have to behave properly otherwise we can get into trouble.
Great answers Catherine!
Where do we have rules?
We have rules at home, school, outdoors and at other people’s houses. Rules help us make the right choices, to share and to listen.
Who needs to follow rules?
Everybody because everybody can make the wrong choices sometimes.
Do we have different rules in different places?
Yes, at school we have rules to help everybody to learn. At home we have rules to keep the baby safe. When you go to a friend’s house it is important to follow the house rules.
Great work Finley. I agree, it is so important to follow the rules for wherever you are.
You’re right Finley. Different homes have different rules so it’s best to be aware of the rules in a friend’s house when you visit.
Yes Sophie being kind and generous is definitely a rule we should follow wherever we are.
1) we have rules inside of school, home, and work
2) everyone needs to follow the rules
3) yes, we have different rules in different places as people can choose what there rules are, but we must always be kind to each other
