Our Test for the Holy Spirit
SOLO for Holy Spirit
Holy Spirit
Our key ideas are derived from investigation of the theological focus, the strand progressions over 8 years and what we believe are the key ideas our year 8 leavers will need to know and understand by the time they leave St Joseph's. Our selection of the key ideas is guided by our understanding of the Nicene Creed, the founding belief statement of the Catholic faith dating back to the Council of Nicea in AD325; Biblical teaching; Church tradition; and the Catechism of the Catholic church which the original RE curriculum documents are based on.
Key Ideas
1. The Holy Spirit acts in people and in the Church
2. The Holy Spirit appears in Bible stories
3. The Holy Spirit is the third person the Trinity
4. We have images of the Holy Spirit but these are not the Holy Spirit
please copy and rename with your class + highlight the areas you are teaching this year and
store in RE Planning Folder - Holy 2019
The Holy Spirit is about being inspired and we chose at the beginning of the year to include it at this stage of our overall year plan as we would be hoping to be getting some inspiration now about what to do with our environment. If we can explicitly make links between our HS teaching, Enviroschools and specific learning in science next term, we will be providing a very coherent integrated worldview for the children. We can also look at it from the angle that we are now doing some more scientific investigations into the environment. We are deepening our understanding and the Holy Spirit can help us to shed light and understanding on deeper matters. Funnily enough we have been led to focus on energy next term - energy an unseen force with palpable outcomes.

The purpose of this evidence of learning is to give children a chance to explore and show
their understanding of the Holy Spirit. The questions are open and can be answered in
any form appropriate to the child – draw, write, verbal. The extended abstract parts
require more complex thinking and a bigger worldview and the younger children will not
be expected to show this. The relational part should be accessible to all children.
When you are asking them to record/show their understanding explain the purpose –
that we want them to show us what they know and think - they have to take the time to
fully explain and we’re looking for them to make connections with their own lives and in
our school (relational) and with the Church and the world beyond our school (extended
abstract). It would pay to keep adding to this evidence of learning as you go through
the strand teaching.
