Catholic Teaching Focus for this lesson

Holy Communion augments our union with Christ. The principal fruit of receiving the Eucharist in Holy
Communion is an intimate union with Christ Jesus. - Catechism 1391

In year two students learnt to draw on the power of Jesus, his followers have to keep drawing closer to
him. Jesus gave them the Eucharist for this purpose.
Those who receive Jesus often in Holy Communion during the Eucharist, draw closer to him than they
could in any other way. As they do so, he helps them to:
love others when this is difficult
do what is right more often.

The focus for this lesson is to recall the miracle of the last supper.

Prior Knowledge

the story of the last supper.

Once discussion has covered all the necessary points and students have
demonstrated sound prior understanding, explain that for the rest of the
lesson we will be looking at Godly Play of the last supper.

will provide further learning

Demonstrate the story of the Last supper using the Godly play script and Godly Play Kit
kit. Spending time explaining each aspect and telling the story from the
10 mins heart. Once the story has finished discuss the following wonder
questions with the students:
- I wonder what part of the story we could leave out the and story
would be the same?
- I wonder where you can see yourself in the story?
- I wonder why this is such an important story?
- I wonder why Jesus changed the wine and bread?

Explain to students the importance of the Last Supper. How it enables us

as Catholics to draw closer to God each time we receive the Holy
Communion of Jesus blood and flesh.

For the rest of the lessons students will spend time reflecting on the Last Supper Sheets
events of the last supper through an arts activity. Students will be on students desks
10 mins drawing with material of their choice (pencils, crayons, watercolours) the Pencils & Textas
Last Supper and accompanying their imagine with a short response to Instrumental Music
the question I wonder why the last supper is so important to Catholics?
Students will be drawing the last supper so they can represent what they
see as the most important elements in the story, it can be of Jesus with
the bread and wine or all of the disciples and Jesus it is up the students
to decide.

While students are creating their images, rove the classroom having
discussions with each student. Asking them what they will write to
answer their question and why they have drawn what they drew.

As students begin to finish display their work on the board.

Conclusion
Bring students to the mat to conclude the lesson. Ask them the question
again what is so important about the Last Supper? Allow two or three
5 mins students to answer, including appropriate wait time so students who
arent always first to put their hands up have time to think.

Once students have all answered explain again that people have special
meals to celebrate special events such as birthdays, Christmas and
Easter. Jesus and his disciples gathered together one last time to
celebrate a special meal to give thanks and while they were sharing this
meal Jesus performed the miracle of changing the bread and wine into
his body and blood. Allowing everyone from this time on to be drawn
closer to God and be able to thank him for everything when we receive
the Eucharist each week during Mass.
