Year 1: Religious Education

Abraham Atherton —

At present the children in Room 1, 2 and 6 are learning about God the Creator.

God is the Creator of all that is ‘seen and unseen.' Each person is God’s unique creation made in love for love. We are each part of what God made and ‘saw that it was good.' We are called to respect our own dignity as people made in God’s image, the dignity of others, and the value of all parts of creation. We are saved and holy because we share in the tapu of God. We are also called to respond with praise and worship of God.

  • People can discover God and God’s holiness through places, times, things and in the world (Lessons 1-6)
  • Ways of doing things (rituals) every day in the Church (L7-8)
  • The Eucharist is a time to praise and worship God who is holy (Lesson 9)
