Activity 1: RECAP- What is the definition of the word justice? What does it mean to be just? Can you give examples?

Activity 2: Today, I would like you to hear two stories that teach us a lot about justice. Attached below are two stories. The first is called 'The Holy Cakes' which is a Sikh traditional story about justice. The second is a Judeo-Christian story about justice called 'The Judgement of King Solomon'. You will need to open up both of these stories and read them carefully. 

Activity 3: After you heave read the stories or whilst you are re-reading them, I would like you to fill in the table below. Here, you will be drawing comparisons between the two stories and their links to justice.

Draw out the table in your books to give you more space for answers, alternatively, I have attached it to the bottom of the page if you would prefer to print.
