How can we help children to follow Jesus? As we celebrate the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul this Sunday, it is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on what it really means to follow Jesus.
 Does following Jesus simply mean believing that he existed? Does it mean believing that he is God? Does it mean going to church or trying to be a good person? Certainly, all of these things matter, but following Jesus means something even deeper.
 I often wonder what Saints Peter and Paul themselves would have understood following Jesus to mean. As practising Jews, they would have been familiar with the tradition of following a rabbi or teacher. For them, following a rabbi was not simply about studying his teachings or admiring him from a distance. It meant centring your whole life on that person.
 When Jesus called Peter, he left everything behind. As the hymn beautifully puts it, he "left his fishing nets and boats upon the shore." Jesus became the focal point of Peter's life. His greatest desire was to know him, love him and become more like him.
 The same is true for us today. We can help children understand that following Jesus is about far more than learning facts about him. It is about knowing him personally and building a real relationship with him.
 We grow in that relationship when we speak to Jesus in prayer, spend time listening to his voice in Scripture, receive him at Mass, and make daily choices inspired by his love. Every act of kindness, every moment of forgiveness, every time we turn to him in our hearts, we take another step in following him.
 Saints Peter and Paul remind us that Jesus does not simply ask for our admiration. He invites us into friendship with him. And when children discover that Jesus knows them, loves them and wants to walk with them every day, following him becomes not a duty, but a joyful response to his love.

Y4 have been learning how to calculate area & perimeter in the authentic outdoors; we can use these skills when measuring for wallpaper or carpets when we are older 👌#sdpsy4 RichMaths

Y4 reflected on how blessed we are to have such a wonderful outdoor classroom when we were engaging in rich maths outside today 👌🌍🫛🌱🪻#sdpsy4
