Religious Education Curriculum

Visits from Fr Loi

This term Father Loi has begun to make special classroom visits on Thursday mornings following Mass. He is sharing something of the life and mission of priesthood as well as helping answering some very big questions from our students. Last week he was with 5/6.

3/4 & 5/6

We are continuing to become more familiar with the Creation Story through exploring the 3 Worlds of the Text. We have investigated life for the Israelites in Babylonian Empire, found the ancient Babylonian Empire on a map and researched some of the ancient cultures with different belief systems, like the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans with their pantheon of gods. We have found out that the first Creation story was actually poetry and uses literary devices like repetition to highlight special parts of it. We even put it to music to really experience this piece of scripture in a different way.
