Year 2 Autumn 1 - DOMESTIC CHURCH - FAMILY: BEGINNINGS
|
God is present in every beginning. Teaching about creation is important as it concerns the foundations of human and Christian life, making explicit the response of the Christian faith to the basic question (that people of all times have asked themselves): Where do I come from? Where are we going? What is our origin? Where does everything that exists come from and where is it going? |
In this topic the learning outcomes were to know and understand:
- The many beginnings each day offers.
- God is present at every beginning.
Year 2 Autumn 2 - Signs and Symbols - Baptism / Confirmation
Our lives are marked by many different experiences of being welcomed into new situations and groups.
In this topic the learning outcomes were to know and understand:
- The importance of welcome, of feeling comfortable with new situations and belonging to new groups.
- We belong to families, to work places and to social groupings.
Year 2 Autumn 2 - Preparing - Advent / Christmas
Advent is a time when we appreciate the love in our lives and prepare to celebrate love becoming a reality in the person of Jesus. Christians at Christmas celebrate the gift of Jesus, given by God as a sign and expression of God’s love. Giving and receiving reflects the truth that all life is given by God and life is given meaning through the gift of Jesus.
In this topic the learning outcomes were to know and understand:
- Advent four weeks of preparation for the celebration of Jesus at Christmas.
- To know about how important it is to prepare well and what happens if there is no preparation.
