Primary 1
Scripture texts:
Especially in Primary 1 pupils, engagement with scripture will be mediated by the teacher. Make sure you are familiar with the text - read or paraphrase - use an artefact to engage interest and curiosity. Revisit all texts several times in the year; allow choosing, play, art and drama responses from pupils.
In the Catholic tradition, proclamation and active listening to scripture is familiar to us. Link liturgical gestures to listening - this will support the invitation of faith practice.

Primary 1 : TIOF
Key Vocabulary and Images
As well as time to look closely. sometimes guided by the teacher to develop 'thinking routines'
As with all language learning, pupils learn by hearing,having visual cues, then speaking and eventually writing.
In TIOF we want to share the rich language of the Church's tradition in the context of faith professed, celebrated, lived and prayed.
The Key Vocabulary and visuals can be used in ppt/pdf form on your IWB or printed 2 to a page and laminated as sorting and chatter cards for a myriad of 'active learning' activities. Let the pupils take responsibility for selecting the images and 'pair and share' to deepen learning episodes.
10 things to do with Key Vocabulary Visuals:
1. Think, See, Wonder about visuals on IWB
2. Laminate visuals and Think, See, Wonder in Pair'n'share
3. Ask pupils to select images from cards related to lesson of the day.
4. Display images on a washing line above the altar/sacred space.
5. Ask pupils to sort cards:
sacrament, scripture, love of God, Love of neighbour - then explain their choices.
6. Ask pupils to choose one image as a stimulus for an art response - with a line of have a go writing - scripture or response
of praise, thanks.
7. Ask children in groups of 6 to choose a visual and tell their peers in Circle time what questions
they have or what they like about this.
8. Let pupils choose and muse on these cards - self-directed learning.
9. Use cards to prepare for a 'field trip' to a Church.
10. After the 'field trip' discuss similarities and differences of artefacts etc.
