We were lucky enough to have the GSUS bus onsite week commencing 14th September. The bus is actually an interactive classroom with 32 computers hidden in the desks. The lesson gave students the chance to help one of the fictional characters and consider one of the three themes: Fear, Forgiveness, Rejection.
Through a selection of multi-media the students were able to listen to music, watch video clips, read about famous people and use the information to help them respond to the character through email.
The aim being that they see how Jesus’ teachings are still relevant today. Students reported that it was “ace” and “it makes you think about those who are having a tough time and how we should be helping them”.
Lessons will be followed up in assemblies over the coming weeks. If you want to find out more about the “GSUS bus” go to http://www.gsuslive.co.uk.
