Quick Summary
Access the official Term 1 Grade 1 CRE Lesson Plans designed to foster self-acceptance and a sense of belonging in young learners. This guide provides a clear roadmap for teaching biblical values centered on identity, uniqueness, and God’s personal care, ensuring your professional records are fully aligned with national standards.
Key Topics in Grade 1 CRE
The term begins with the Creation strand, focusing on Self-Awareness. Students identify their uniqueness as guided by the word of God in Genesis 1:27, exploring why they are a special creation made in God’s image. The curriculum also covers Personal Identity, where learners practice stating their gender and appreciate that God knows them personally by their names. Lessons are interactive, featuring self-portrait art projects, palm-drawing activities, and songs of appreciation to help children connect biblical truths to their own lives and bodies.
How to Teach and Assess CRE
Use collaborative group work and storytelling to make lessons relatable. Assessment methods focus on oral retelling, reflective drawings, and participation in ‘Compliment Circles’ where students celebrate each other’s unique traits. Keeping a record of these formative activities is essential for professional teacher appraisals and tracking the spiritual and social development of every learner.
