What Teachers are Learning About
This week's staff meeting was focussed on the RE curriculum. We took the time to look at what we have taught so far this year and what we want to focus on in Term 4.
The Brisbane Curriculum for RE is closely connected to the Australian Curriculum. This provides us with an opportunity to make connections to other curriculum areas such as HASS (History and Social Studies), Science and Health.
Integrating the curriculum helps students to build their knowledge in ways that make strong connections for them. For example, learning about what temptation means as a vocabulary word in English Daily Review, helps students to understand the Our Father more deeply.
Catholic Life and Reflection
I do bus duty on a Friday afternoon. I always farewell the kids by saying “God bless! Have a great afternoon.” Some kids respond with “God bless you too.” Which I secretly love
Last Friday, one of our younger ones called out, “Love Jesus!” as his response. I couldn’t help but think “Sure…why not!”
What a lovely way it was to end my week.
So this week …
Love Jesus!
Deuteronomy 6: 5
5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
God bless you all.
