Planning Overview
Year: Kindy Theme: Oceans and Rivers
Overview:
Religious education in the early years aims to provide students with the opportunity to discover God in people and creation. The purpose of the religious
education in kindergarten is to nurture spiritual awareness through learning experiences. The focus for kindergarten children is the religious development of the
children through activities that support positive feelings towards themselves and others which can be directly related to the wonderful world that God has
created. In Kindergarten, the Religious Education program links with the Early Years Learning Framework to deliver a play based environment with an integrated
approach across the curriculum. Religious awareness is fostered through God-talk, engaging in role-play and exploring God’s creations. Children should be taught
to develop a growing awareness of their relationship with Jesus Christ in a loving, Catholic community. A successful religious education program should
incorporate a holistic approach, the program should stimulate children’s imagination, wonder and awe through presenting various scripture stories, hands-on
activities and role-play.
RE Learning Outcomes:
Discovering God in People and Creation: Students discover God and understand his role in their lives through presenting experiences in creation.
Drawing on Human Experience: Students understand the content of the Christian message and its significance by relating it to examples drawn from
human experience.
Knowing Jesus: Students identify with the person of Jesus and the model for living out the Christian mission in the world.
Living like Jesus: Students understand that Catholics are empowered to live like Jesus the Saviour as they draw on the power of God on the power of
God’s Spirit.
Catholic Practices: Students demonstrate the skills necessary to be a good Catholic through reading and applying Scriptures to their lives and how to
participate in Catholic ritual and prayer.

This song will be song at the end of the
ritual.
Because the students in my class are only very young they may have trouble taking turns and sharing. The focus over the next three weeks will be to teach children
to share and take turns by role modelling to students how we all take turns by modelling language, using manners and demonstrating through my own actions how
to create a caring and sharing environment. In week one, I have incorporated the text “The Sharing Shell” which will allow me to discuss with children why it so
rewarding to share with our friends and ways we can share with our friends. I will also ensure that I am providing the children with very positive feedback when
they take turn or share with their friends.
