Today
our colours are grey and purple; grey for the outside and purple for the
inside.
The Pharisees said Jesus was wrong not to follow all the rules that had
been added to their religion over the years. For example, they criticised
the disciples for not washing their hands in a special way before they
ate.
Jesus answered by telling the disciples that what mattered to God was
what was going on inside their hearts. His law was about being loving;
people were unclean only if they were unkind.
Grey reminds us of rules and things of importance outside our hearts.
Purple reminds us of things that matter within our hearts.
We played a game to find different ways of looking at things in our lives.
First we thought of what matters in an outside, grey way.
Next , we had to find an answer which would be about having a loving heart
instead.
There was a time limit to think of things, and it was girls against boys.
We will not say who won!
Does it matter?
Is that an inside or an outside question?
Did the competition make us think harder?
Is competition an outside or an inside thing?
We wrote our best ideas on an 'Inside/ Outside' certificate. |

Here
are some of our best purple bits:
Play with someone who is lonely;
Smile at someone;
Be kind, even when the teacher isn't looking;
Share with people who have less;
Let a younger child win sometimes;
Think of God, wherever you happen to be;
Take turns, however much you want to be doing something. |
