Primary 3 
Notes of Guidance:
At the beginning of term - read twice...


These notes provide an overview for the teacher for the purpose and direction of the learning across the P3 year.

The Canticle of the Creatures - St Francis

Primary 3
Scripture texts: 

With Primary 3 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 3: TIOF
Key Vocabulary and Visual Images



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 Vocbulary 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.

P3 TIOF 
Other World Religions : 
Judaism 
The main focus in OWR in P3 is evidence in the scriptures for Jesus growing up in a Jewish family with Mary and Joseph, and practising the Jewish faith.

This learning should take no more than 3 or 4 lessons and could be reinforced throughout the year in passing.
