RE Church Strand - What is a Messiah?

What is a 'Messiah'?
In Religious Education we have been exploring the word 'Messiah'. We looked at the word leadership and explored a leader who shaped change in his country, Nelson Mandela.
As a class we then looked at the life of Nelson Mandela and watched a fantastic video on youtube. We talked about how Nelson 'saved' his people and how Jesus was a saviour. The children had to imagine how it felt to be living in a country where you didn't have the freedom of choice and we had some fantastic discussion around the choices we are all able to make.
