Lesson video

Hello, fine theologians, and thank you very much for joining me for another religious education lesson.

Today, we are going to begin the unit Peace and Conflict and have an introduction into some of the key terms that are really important for understanding that unit.

Now to get going, you'll need to actually got four things with you, they are a pen, a different colour pen, some paper, and your theology brains.

If you need to go and get any of those things, please do that now and join me in just a moment.

So in today's lesson, we are going to spend our time looking at four really important concepts in this unit, and they are peace, justice, forgiveness, and reconciliation.

I'm going to start off by defining those terms, so we can be really confident, and we know what we're talking about.

Then we're going to look really closely at the relationship between the terms peace, and justice, and forgiveness, and reconciliation, and think about how the terms, which aren't peace, so justice, forgiveness, and reconciliation, all have a really important part to play in peace.

Then we're going to have a look at the Christian and Islamic views on those concepts.

So lots of really terrific work to do today.

So the first key term to look at is peace.

And as you can see on your screens, it tells us that peace is the absence of conflict or war.

And often, an aim of war may be to establish peace.

Peace can also mean an inner peace, feelings of happiness, harmony, and tranquillity.

And when there's an absence of conflict, you're much more likely to have those feelings of happiness and harmony.

And that second point on your screen is often an aim of war may be to establish peace.

That's quite an interesting point, isn't it? That actually in order to get to peace, i.

e.

an absence of conflict, sometimes people might think it's necessary to go to war.

Think of self-defense, for example, if you're under threat from another nation, it might, in those circumstances, be really important perhaps to take force, to go to war in order to get back to a peaceful state of affairs.

So I'd just like you to take a moment please, to write out the definition of peace.

So you can see on the board here a nice short definition, peace is the absence of conflict or war.

Peace can also mean inner feelings of happiness, harmony, and tranquillity.

So please pause the video, write out that definition, and then join me in a moment once you've done that.

So the next key term is justice.

And on your screens, you can see there's a nice short introduction to what we mean by justice.

Essentially, justice means bringing about what is fair and right, and again, many wars are fought on the basis of seeking to achieve justice.

Justice itself as a concept is often linked with equality.

If you lack justice, you lack equality.

And when you lack this justice, feelings of resentment can build up, which can subsequently lead to conflict.

And that makes sense, doesn't it? Because if justice is about having a state of affairs, which is fair and right, then if you're in a state of affairs which is unjust, that means things aren't fair and right, perhaps people or a nation is being oppressed or attacked.

And if that's the case, people in that situation, are going to look to try and correct that, aren't they? And if it can't be corrected peacefully, they may feel compelled to do that with force.

So if you lack justice you're more likely not to have peace.

On the flip-side, if you establish justice, you're much more likely to be able to maintain peace.

So you can see here, a nice short definition of justice, bringing about what is right and fair.

Please pause your video now, and write out our definition for me.

Our third key term is forgiveness.

By forgiveness, we mean showing grace and mercy, and pardoning someone for what they have done wrong.

It's allowing someone to move on, to move forward, after they've done something wrong.

It doesn't mean punishment shouldn't happen, but forgiveness can be an important part after conflict has happened.

If you're able to forgive, it increases the chances of establishing peace afterwards.

If you hold on to those feelings of resentment and wrongdoing, then it's much less likely that you'll be able to establish long-lasting peace, because you'll still feel as though a wrong has been committed and perhaps want to put that right.

Whereas if you can come together, offer forgiveness, it's much more likely that you're able to restore healthy relationships, and establish peace in the long run.

So you've got a definition of forgiveness here, a nice short one, again, forgiveness is showing grace and mercy, and pardoning someone for what they've done wrong.

If you pause the video, write that down for me again please, and then unpause the video, and we'll have a look at the fourth key term.

So reconciliation.

Reconciliation, as you can see by the picture on your screen implies a restoring of friendly relations after a conflict or disagreement.

And that will involve a conscious effort to restore a relationship.

That process can be helped by acknowledging wrongdoing and offering forgiveness.

It's a really difficult thing to do.

You can probably think of times where you've fallen out with people, and getting back to healthy relationships, is difficult, isn't it? It can take time.

When you put that into context of war, it's even more difficult, isn't it? So it will take a huge conscious effort to try and come back into friendly relationships, but it's crucially important.

The process of reconciliation, if you're going to move towards longstanding peace, if you don't restore relationships, so they're friendly and healthy after a conflict, then it's much more likely in the long-run that conflict will reemerge.

Whereas if you can reconcile, hopefully, you return to peaceful relationships, and because you're in a strong, healthy, friendly relationships, they've been restored, you're much more likely then, to establish long-lasting peace.

So here we have a nice short definition of reconciliation again for you to write down.

Reconciliation means restoring friendly relations after a conflict or disagreement.

So again, please pause the video and write down that definition for me.

So our next job is thinking about how these key terms link together.

And you can see from the images on your screen, we're going to think really carefully about how those concepts of justice and peace link together.

Now, justice and peace are actually concepts that are really closely linked together.

If society is just, that means things in society are right and fair, they're reasonable.

People feel like they're being treated fairly, and people feel like they're valued.

If all things in society are right and fair, it won't be necessary to use or resort to conflict to try and make things right and fair, they already will be right and fair, so people won't think like, oh gosh, a change has to happen.

And therefore justice leads to peace.

It's when people want to bring about a change, or want to take action against an injustice that you might end up with conflict.

So if we have justice in society, much less likely to have conflict, which in turn means we're much more likely to have peace.

The next pair of key concepts that we're going to link together, are forgiveness and reconciliation.

And these terms are really closely linked, because if you're able to pardon someone's wrongdoing, you're more likely to be able to reconcile with them.

If you let go of those feelings of wrongdoing, it becomes much easier to restore relationships.

And that doesn't mean to say, you know, no punishment is going to happen.

It might be that look, yes, there's a punishment, once the punishment is served as part of that punishment, we can work out forgiveness.

Once forgiveness has happened, it makes it more possible to reconcile relationships.

So forgiveness can be really crucial in that process of reconciliation.

And as we mentioned earlier, reconciliation itself is really important to establishing long-lasting peace.

And as forgiveness is important to reconciliation, we can say in turn, forgiveness too, is a really important part of the peace jigsaw.

So we're going to do some quick fire questions now.

I'll read out these questions, and all you need to do is think to yourself, which key term is being described or spoken about in that blue box on your screen? So the four options are peace, justice, forgiveness, or reconciliation.

So just point to it on your screens, or just make a note of it in your head.

So which concept can be defined as the absence of conflict? That's peace, well done.

Which concept can be defined as pardoning someone for their wrongdoing? That's forgiveness, well done.

Which concept can be defined as restoring friendly relationships? That's reconciliation, well done.

Which concept can be defined as inner feelings of happiness and harmony? That's peace as well, isn't it? Which can be defined as bringing about what is right and fair? Justice, well done.

Which concept, so there's more than one here, could be a motivating factor for a conflict? We've got peace and justice.

So remember we said, didn't we? Sometimes people might go to war in order to bring about peace.

That might be an overarching aim of a conflict.

Equally, some people might use force, might go to war, might engage in a conflict in order to strive towards justice.

So both peace and justice can actually be motivating factors for a conflict.

Which concept, so again, we've got more than one, makes peace more likely? So hopefully you pointed out justice because if things are right and fair in society, you're much more likely to have a peaceful society.

Hopefully you also remembered reconciliation is part of the peace jigsaw too.

If after conflict, you are able to come back together and restore those friendly relationships, those healthy relationships, then it's more likely to be long-lasting peace.

And that by extension means forgiveness also has a really important part in peace.

Forgiveness makes reconciliation more likely, doesn't it? It's much more easier to return and restore happy relationships if forgiveness is given.

And reconciliation is important to peace, and because forgiveness is, sorry, because forgiveness is important to reconciliation, that also means forgiveness is important to peace too.

So all three of those concepts are linked to peace.

Which concept can help the process of reconciliation? Excellent, we just mentioned that as forgiveness, didn't we? If you're able to forgive you are much more likely to be able to restore and return to healthy, friendly relationships.

So now we've done some questions.

Here is a summary task for you.

I'd like you please, to explain how the concept of justice is linked to peace.

Then explain how the key concept of forgiveness is linked to reconciliation.

Then explain how the key concept of reconciliation is linked to peace.

You can see there's some helpful sentence starters on your screen to help, if you need, please pause the video now and have a go at that task.

Excellent effort, so let's see how we got on.

So the first one, hopefully you noted that peace is the absence of conflict or war, and justice is the act of bringing about what is fair and right.

Justice is linked to peace because if all things in society are right and fair, it won't be necessary to use conflict to make things right and fair.

For the second one, hopefully you mentioned that forgiveness is pardoning someone for what they've done wrong.

And reconciliation is the process of restoring friendly relations after a conflict or disagreement.

Though forgiveness is linked to reconciliation because if you're able to pardon someone's wrongdoing, you're more likely to be able to reconcile with them.

And finally, reconciliation is linked to peace because if you're able to restore friendly relations after conflict, the conflict is less likely to reoccur.

Please pause the video again for a moment.

Check your work against the answers you can see on the screen, and amend, or add, or correct your work as necessary.

So we are now going to move on and look at Christian and Islamic views on peace, justice, forgiveness, and reconciliation.

Now in order to get going with that, I would like you please to draw out this table on a whole side of A4.

So you can see the table we're going to use to summarise the Christian and Islamic views on those four concepts.

So just pause the video now and get your table drawn.

So let's start off by looking at Christian views on peace.

So in Christianity peace and not war should be the priority.

That's an important term though, isn't it? Is a priority.

So that doesn't mean to say that all Christians will be opposed to war, some Christians will be opposed to war, but some will accept actually, sometimes maybe a conflict is necessary in order to achieve peace and correct injustice.

And that's what the second point says here, some Christians may think war is acceptable if it brings about peace, that peace will always be the aim, and if we can get to peace with peaceful methods then great.

But sometimes Christians might say, well, we can't get to peace with peaceful methods here.

so perhaps we need to use war in order to establish peace 'cause that's the number one priority.

In the New Testament, Christians are told to "do everything possible, to live at peace with everyone." And clearly that means trying to resolve things peacefully, but it also implies, doesn't it, sometimes that might not be possible.

And if it isn't possible to do it peacefully, in order to establish peace again, it might be the case that you need to use force, use conflict in order to get to peace.

Many Christians would also emphasise that being in a loving relationship with God, will result in Christians being motivated to share that love, and that love would demand that you go as far as possible to resolve any disputes with peace rather than force.

And now let's have a look at the Christian view on justice.

So Christians regard God as a perfect judge, that they believe him to be omniscient, that he knows absolutely everything about people, and he makes a decision on your eternal destination in a way that's right, fair, and reasonable.

And that example has to be followed, and Christians need to follow that example by acting justly in their everyday life.

So they need to make sure that actions are right, fair, and reasonable just as God's actions and God's judgement is.

And as we mentioned earlier, peace can only be maintained when there is justice.

If there's injustice in society, are you people aren't being treated in a way that's fair, right, and reasonable, it's really unlikely, that's going to be a peaceful society.

And justice as a key Christian value, as Christians believe that all people are of equal value to God.

In Genesis, it says, "God created human beings, making them to be like himself." And there's a key concept of equality in that verse there, it says, "God created all human beings." If all human beings are made in the image of God, that means all human beings, according to Christians, have the same value, the same worth, which means everyone deserves to be treated with equality, and everyone deserves to be treated in a way that is just.

And Jesus makes it really clear as well, that people should work for justice, helping those who are less fortunate than themselves.

He does that in a number of ways.

He tells people to love your neighbour.

and defines our neighbour as all people.

He gives people really clear practical examples as well, in terms of feeding the hungry, giving water to the thirsty, giving shelter to the homeless.

All those things are examples of how to work for social justice.

So we've spoken there about the Christian view on peace and justice.

So that means you should now be in a position where you can fill out that top section of your table to explain the Christian view on peace and justice.

Now, when you're explaining the Christian view on peace, I'd like you to use that top set of pink words, peace, priority, acceptable love, and then that quotation, "Do everything possible to live at peace with everyone." Then when you're explaining the Christian view on justice, you've got some words to use as well, judge, equal, Jesus, "God created human beings," that quotation from Genesis.

So pause the video now, please, and have a go at doing that.

Excellent work, let's see how you got on then.

So hopefully, for the Christian view on peace, you have noted down that peace should be the priority but war can be acceptable, if its aim is to bring about peace.

Christians should do everything possible to live at peace with everyone, and that includes sharing God's love to all people which should motivate Christians to resolve disputes peacefully.

And for justice, hope you noted down that God is a perfect judge and Christians need to follow this example by living in a way that is just.

Christians believe all people deserve justice, as all people are equal as God created human beings, that's all human beings, isn't it? Jesus instructed his followers to help those who are less fortunate.

Clearly for a Christian, it's really important to follow the teachings, and examples, and words of Jesus.

So please pause the video now, check your work carefully against what you can see on your screens and use your different colour pen to make any improvements, corrections, or amendments.

So I'll have a look at the Islamic view on peace now.

And it says here that in Islam, peace is not just about an absence of war, it's also about submission to Allah.

And that submission to Allah brings about a spiritual peace.

The word Islam has it's origin from the word salam, and that actually means peace or safety.

So we can see here, the very inception of the religion Islam, peace is a key priority, and submission to Allah should be done via peaceful means.

The Qur'an really stresses the importance of peace saying, "if they incline towards peace, "then incline towards it." And this implies again, look, perhaps there are circumstances where you might need to use force because it's talking about them inclining towards peace, so it's kind of implied here, there might be some sort of conflict going on, but if you are in that conflict, then look, peace has to be kept as a priority, have to be making sure your mind is always set to peace, and as soon as the opportunity comes for a peaceful resolution, then take it, use it.

And of course that would also imply, wouldn't it? That before conflict emerges, you need to make sure you're trying to resolve any conflict with peace rather than force.

Mohammed also stressed that peace was the ideal.

when he was persecuted by the Meccans, he refused to fight and instead fled.

He only used force as a last resort when it was needed in the Battle of Badr.

Remember he was forced to leave Mecca, wasn't he? Because the Meccans didn't like his messages, they didn't like the implications of his messages and his teachings for their way of life, and how they used the Quba'a as a place of business.

But rather than standing and fighting and having a conflict, he fled to a place called Yathrib, which then changed the name to Medina.

And even there, he tried to resist conflict, but it was only when the Meccans kept insisting and trying to threaten him that he decided to look, in order to protect myself, my followers, and the religion Islam, I'm going to have to do something about this, and regrettably, we're going to have to use force.

But even in that Battle of Badr, when he was using force, he was really careful to make sure that returning to peace was going to be a possibility.

So in the battle, there was only about 70 of the opposition soldiers that were actually killed.

Where possible he would take them prisoner instead of killing them and command his soldiers to do the same, and then he would treat those prisoners with great respect.

He spoke to the Meccan tribe, spoke to prison, says, look, if you promise to educate these prisoners, to teach them to read and write, I'll release them back to you, and all that shows, doesn't it? That throughout conflict, even if you're in a conflict, you've got to try and make sure that you're aiming towards peace and your actions within conflict make peace possible after the conflict has finished.

So let's have a look at the Islamic view on justice as well.

So one of the 99 names of Allah is the just, and that reflects the belief that Allah is himself just, and that he's given laws to help people live justly.

So Muslims focus on submitting to Allah and that involves following his laws, which in turn will bring about justice.

And there are lots of examples of laws that are focused on justice within Islam, the pillar Zakah, for example, that's charity payment, isn't it? And that involves making a payment to charity to ensure social justice can happen.

There's also the pillar, Sawm, isn't there? Fasting throughout the Islamic month of Ramadan, that can also link to charity, can't it? And forcing Muslims think about, yes, we're doing this via choice, but sadly fasting isn't necessarily something which is always an option for people that are forced into it, and it can inspire additional charity, which Muslims call Sadaqah.

There's lots, and lots, and lots of rules within Islam that encourage social justice, not least the Qur'an quotation, "Allah loves to doers of good," bringing about social justice is good, and Allah is encouraging Muslims to do all they can to bring about justice, and of course, like we said earlier, if you bring about justice, you then arrive, don't you? At a much more peaceful society.

So now we've spent some time looking at the Islamic view on peace and justice, I'd like you to fill in that specific section of your table.

Just like last time, there are some phrases and words in pink to make sure you include those.

So for peace, I'd like you to use those top pink words, submission, peace, "And if they incline towards peace, "then incline towards it." And the example of Mohammed, and when you're talking about justice, the just, laws, submitting, following, and Zakah.

So pause your video now, have a go at that, and join me in just a second for some feedback.

Good effort, so let's see how you have done.

So the Islamic view on peace, hopefully you have a nice summary like this, peace is not just absence of war, but also the spiritual peace achieved by submission to Allah.

The Qur'an stresses the importance of peace stating, "And if they incline to peace, then incline to it." And Mohammed's example also promotes peace, and only using conflict as a last resort.

And for justice, hopefully you've wrote it down.

One of the 99 names of Allah is the just, reflecting Allah's justice and the fact that he given just laws for people to follow.

If people submit to Allah, they'll follow his laws.

For example, Zakah and justice would then subsequently be achieved.

So again, if you need to pause the video to check your work, amend your work, maybe add some extra details, please do that now, and then join me in just a moment.

We're going to move on now and have a look at Christian and Islamic views on forgiveness and reconciliation, starting off with a Christian view on forgiveness.

And forgiveness is seen as a duty in Christianity.

And that means it's not optional.

Christians are called to give forgiveness time, and time, and time, and time again, no matter what the wrongdoing, and that can be a huge challenge, can't it? And the ultimate example of forgiveness comes from God.

God gave his son Jesus to die, so that human sins, sorry, can be forgiven.

And that points to something really powerful, doesn't it? God going to extraordinary lengths to make forgiveness of sins possible.

So that then becomes an expectation for Christians to follow in their everyday life.

If God went to such extraordinary lengths to make forgiveness possible for sins, likewise, human beings need to make sure that they forgive those that do wrong to them in their everyday life.

And Jesus also taught forgiveness, telling his followers that forgiveness should not be limited to seven times, but 77.

And Jesus isn't really saying that forgiveness is capped there, saying, well, forgive the 76th time, forgive the 77th time, oh, but don't forgive the 78th time.

Essentially what he's doing, is giving you a really high number just to demonstrate that actually, forgiveness is a duty, it's not capped, you keep offering forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness, and let's just stress, that doesn't mean that Christians don't believe in punishment, but any punishment given has to give the opportunity for forgiveness.

So Christians would therefore look to offer forgiveness for wrongdoing rather than escalate to war where that is possible, but as we mentioned earlier, it's not the case that all Christians are completely against war in all circumstances, Christians will largely accept that there might be some circumstances which do call for war to return to peace and justice.

And if a war has happened, as we can see from the teachings of Jesus, and the example of God giving his son Jesus above on your screens there, if a war has happened, forgiveness should be secured because that helps maintain peace afterwards.

We link that to reconciliation, don't we? If we are able to give forgiveness that makes reconciliation much more likely.

And if we're able to reconcile that then makes long-lasting peace much more likely.

So let's have a look at the Christian view on reconciliation.

So reconciliation also has a really central place within Christianity.

And that's because the purpose of Jesus's crucifixion is to reconcile human beings to God.

And again, if God went to such extraordinary lengths to reconcile human beings to him, Christians need to follow that in their everyday life by trying to reconcile with anyone they've had a broken or damaged relationship with, so that they can return to a healthy and friendly relationship, that Christians need to follow that example, by ensuring that if they fall into broke relationships, they do all they can to repair them.

And Jesus' teachings really stress reconciliation over revenge.

And he replaces an Old Testament teaching, which you may be familiar with, an eye for an eye, with something a lot less retaliatory saying, look, "do not take revenge on someone who wrongs you.

"If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, "let him slap your left cheek too." And that can seem quite counterintuitive, can't it? Don't retaliate, but why might Jesus be saying don't retaliate here? Well, let's think, the number one priority is peace and justice.

And if every time someone does something wrong, there's a retaliation, and then there's a retaliation to that, and then a retaliation to that, a retaliation to that, you can see where that's going, can't you? That's moving you all the time, further away from reconciliation and therefore peace.

Whereas actually, if we want to get towards peace, what you need to do is stop that process, not retaliate, try and work out a peaceful means so that reconciliation can happen, and subsequently peace can be achieved.

So I'd now like you to please to fill out the bottom two rows of your Christianity column.

So you can see we're filling in the forgiveness and reconciliation, again using those pink words on the board.

So Jesus, duty, die, sins, and taught in forgiveness.

And then for reconciliation, crucifixion, repair, revenge, and that quotation, "if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, "let him slap your left cheek too." So please pause the video now and have a go at that for me.

Excellent, so let's check your work.

Hopefully you have something like this, that for forgiveness, Christians have a duty to forgive.

God sent Jesus to die for forgiveness of sins.

Jesus also taught forgiveness, he implied that forgiveness should be limitless.

And for reconciliation, reconciliation is very important.

The purpose of the crucifixion is to reconcile humans to God.

Christians need to follow this example and repair their own broken relationships.

Jesus taught against revenge and in favour of reconciliation saying, "if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, "let them slap your left cheek too." So again, please pause the video, check your work really carefully against the answer you can see on the screen and use a different colour pen to correct or add any missing details.

So let's turn to the Islamic view on forgiveness and then reconciliation now.

So forgiveness within Islam, Allah is the ultimate example of forgiveness.

And again, one of the 99 names of Allah is the most merciful.

If you're merciful, you can give people forgiveness.

Allah gives is forgiveness to those that deserve it.

And all people will at some stage of life, do wrong and therefore require forgiveness.

The Qur'an encourages forgiveness, reminding Muslims, "if you pardon and overlook and forgive, "then indeed Allah is forgiving and merciful." And we might be able to make sense of that, right? I'm sure that you right now can imagine a time in your life where you've done something wrong, and really wanted forgiveness.

And the Qur'an here is encouraging people to give that forgiveness saying, "if you pardon and overlook and forgive, "then indeed Allah is forgiving and merciful," Kind of implying there that look, Allah has got the ability to forgive and to be merciful.

And if you want that forgiveness, it'd be really beneficial for you to offer that forgiveness to other people who have done wrong.

And the Islamic view on reconciliation.

Again, we can go back to the example of Mohammed in the Battle of Badr here, the example we spoke about earlier, when we were looking at maintaining peace in society.

So in Islam, the example of Muhammad's conduct in the Battle of Badr is really important.

Remember, in that battle, firstly, he tried to avoid the battle and avoid the need to use force.

But then when that was no longer going to be possible because he needed to use force to defend himself, to defend his followers, to defend the faith of Islam, he was really careful with actions within conflict to make sure they were proportionate in succeeding, but not being overly excessive and doing more damage to the opposition that's needed.

Remember we said that the number of casualties was very small, rather than killing opposition soldiers, he tried to capture them and when they were captured, really well looked after.

Those sorts of actions make it much more possible to reconcile in the future.

That as it says here, Mohammed did not kill those soldiers which he caught, he also attempted to build good relations with the enemy soldiers by offering to release them, if they were given the opportunity to get an education.

And those actions seem to be aimed at reconciliation because if that's how you conduct yourself during conflict, it's much easier then afterwards to work towards reconciliation and peace.

Whereas if you're using really vengeful actions, and using excessive force, it's going to be much more difficult, isn't it? To come back together and establish friendly relationships.

So please now and finish off your table by filling in the Islamic view on forgiveness and reconciliation.

You can see again, you've got words and phrases in pink to use, so for forgiveness, I'd like you to use words Allah, most merciful, and then the quotation you can see, "if you pardon and overlook and forgive, "then indeed Allah is forgiving and merciful." And for reconciliation, Mohammed, the Battle of Badr, relations, and enemy.

So have a go at that please, and then join for some feedback in just a moment.

So for forgiveness, hopefully you have something like this, that one of the 99 for Allah is the most merciful.

Allah gives forgiveness to those who deserve it.

And the Qur'an encourages forgiveness, reminding Muslims, "But if you pardon and overlook and forget, "then indeed Allah is forgiving and merciful." And for reconciliation you wrote down, that Muhammad's actions in the Battle of Badr made reconciliation much more achievable.

He tried to build good relationships with the enemy.

So again, pause the video, check your answers, your work against this that you can see here.

Take a moment to add any details or correct anything that needs correcting and then unpause it once you've done that.

Excellent work today, well done, terrific effort.

Now we finished the lesson and we've had a look in a great amount of detail at those four key concepts, peace, justice, forgiveness, and reconciliation, and looked at the Islamic and Christian views on those four key concepts.

Please make sure you complete this summary quiz to check you can recall some of the key information we've covered today.

Thank you very much for joining me.

I hope you've had a good hour and feel like you've learned a lot today.

If you wish to share your work with the Oak National Academy, please ask your parent or carer to share your work on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, using the information you can see on your screens there.

I look forward to seeing you again soon.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your day, goodbye.
