Everyone welcome! # Year 3- Class Worship-R.E- How does Jesus change lives? ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-292D0036-94BB-4496-B1B5-A28CF6103F0A.png) 29 February 2024 In today's class worship and Religious Education lesson, Year 3 explored the story of Zacchaeus. He was a tax collector, which meant he collected taxes for the government. However, many disliked him because he was known to cheat people out of their money. When he met Jesus, everything changed. He felt sorry for tricking and lying to people in the past. After hearing the story, the children generated questions asking Zacchaeus about how he felt during different parts of the story. Then they got into the role of Zacchaeus and answered those questions, imagining his feelings. The story of Zacchaeus teaches us that people can change for the better. Even if someone has done wrong things in the past, they can choose to make things right. When Zacchaeus met Jesus, he decided to be honest and kind instead of cheating people. It shows us that it's important to say sorry when we make mistakes and try to be better people. We learnt that everyone deserves a second chance, and it's never too late to do the right thing. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-292D0036-94BB-4496-B1B5-A28CF6103F0A.png) [Worship](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Religious Education](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/religious-education) [Discussions](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/discussions) [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/british-values) [Christian Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/christian-values) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-FDC5D825-F5D6-47E6-A878-45EE0E8C29B4.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-02-28-year-3-pshe-families-and-friends) Previous ### [Year 3- PSHE- Families and Friends](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-02-28-year-3-pshe-families-and-friends) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-9D6E9E46-9B13-465D-8B79-B21331326F4B.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-03-01-year-3-english-use-questions-to-open-a-story) Next ### [Year 3- English-Use questions to open a story.](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-03-01-year-3-english-use-questions-to-open-a-story) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
