Life as a journey A philosophical and spiritual metaphor for excellent and enjoyable RE

The full colour Life as a journey image is available to RE Today subscribers on the web, and to others who buy the booklet Exploring a theme: the Journey of life and death (Mackley, Ed)

Guidebook for the journey of life: Notice the man selling guidebooks. These might be guidebooks for the journey of life. If you were asked to write the first page of the guidebook for the journey – what would you say? What advice would you give? Pick a route: Notice the starting point – the baby in the pram leaving the hospital. The baby is setting out on her life journey. If you could choose the route for her – where would she go? What would you include and what would you avoid? Why have you picked this route? Does a good life mean no suffering or do we need the stormy times too? Buildings: Notice the buildings on the journey. 8 shops, 2 sheds, religious buildings, a wedding chapel, a hospital – if you could take one thing from each building to help you on your journey of life, what would it be and why? Shopping: If you could choose something from only four of the shops to help you on your journey of life which would you choose and why? Put these four in order. Which matters most of all to you? Can you say why? Now think about someone who is a Christian, Muslim, Jew or another religion: what would they choose and why? Before and after: This map shows the journey of life – but what about what happens before we are born and after we die? Show your ideas using pictures / symbols / colours and words. Fold a sheet of paper diagonally. Bottom left: what you think came before this life? Top right: show what you think / believe happens after this life. Do the same for a Hindu or Christian.

Thomas Butler has charted lifes journey as he sees it. Can he consider reflectively and sensitively some questions about life as a journey? Does he need to get some different viewpoints as well?

Jack, 9, from Hartpury School has recognised the different ways people have of approaching lifes challenges. Hes also made a link to his understanding of Christian faith.

Thomas, 9, has written the opening page to his guidebook to life in some work on the Bible and sacred texts. He was able to do this after working on the journey of life theme.

10 year old Catherine from Meadowside PS gives her introduction to the guidebook to life.

Emily, 7, has given us tow great ideas about life before birth and life after death. The scaffolded structure enables her to put the ideas down in a controlled way.
