The Purpose of this Site

This site gives us the overview of St Joseph's Key Ideas for each teaching strand.

Each strand has a corresponding page for parents.

We are matching up our key ideas with the AOs of the Bridging Document and we are in our second year of the two year cycle.

Holy Spirit Planning Term 3 2019

The Holy Spirit page has just been updated.
It contains links between our key ideas and the REBD
It has ideas on how to include our key ideas using Gospel, prayer and other opportunities through the few weeks we are teaching. 
Also detailed notes on how to judge the students' responses.
The Holy Spirit is about being inspired and we chose at the beginning of the year to include it at this part of our overall year plan at this stage as we would be hoping to be getting some inspiration now about what to do with our environment.  We can also look at 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.

Implementing the Religious Education Bridging Document (REBD)

We are now working on cross referencing our St Joseph's work on the key ideas with the new REBD.

We will be gradually updating each strand as we go.  The first one, the God strand, has been done.

Week 3  Jesus Strand

On this Blog under the tab Hehu Karaiti - Jesus Strand,  is  the Theological focus - Our Key ideas - Assessment and the SOLO rubric for assessment.  
Please refresh your understanding of this strand by rereading.   
God so loved us he became Incarnate for the very reason of Love - Love for me and Love for you. God through his Son Jesus understands Humanity in all its awesomeness and frailties  and through Jesus we are invited into real close and loving relationship.  So don't hesitate in your teaching about Jesus - lets get the Relationships growing!!

Also on the Blog is the Jesus tab for parents.  Lets think about how we will share our learning in this strand with our parents at the beginning of our teaching.
But wait there is more......  So much more this term!

HE KARAKIA MO TE KAIAKO
A TEACHER’S PRAYER
E Te Atua tapu rawa, e kitea ana te tapu, i ahu mai i a koe, i roto i te tangata, i runga hoki i te whenua. Poua te mau-mahara me te whakaaronui ki roto i ahau: – ina matakitaki i te ao miharo nei, me hoki nga whakaaro ki a koe, – ina titiro atu ki nga tamariki nei, me hoki nga whakaaro ki a koe, i roto i nga arohatanga ki te whanau me hoki nga whakaaro ki a koe, engari, moku nei, paiherea atu ki a koe, e te Atua tapu rawa, kia tapu hoki ahau.
Amene

O God most holy One, Your holiness can be seen in every person and every place. Remind me of it – so that I am reminded of you – In the beauty of the world about me – In the faces of the children in my class – In the love I share with my family and friends and most of all, deep within my own being, so that I may be connected to you, my most holy God.
Amen
