Curriculum Links (New RE Curriculum)


Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 6, students analyse information from a variety of texts, including
New Testament texts and the wisdom of Australian Catholic Christians, to explain
the action of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers. They select and use evidence
from Scriptural texts to show how these texts describe Jesus relationship with God
the Father and with humanity, including the proclamation of Jesus as fulfilling Gods
promises in the Old Testament.
Students identify and describe many ways in which faith is lived out in the lives of
believers past and present, including Catholics in a developing Australian nation (c.
1900 CE to present). They analyse the key messages and contexts of some Old
Testament prophets. They explain the significance of Jesus New Law for the way
believers live their faith and examine the spiritual and corporal works of mercy.
They identify and describe many ways in which faith is celebrated in the lives of
believers, past and present, including the commemoration of High Holy Days by
Jewish believers; the Churchs liturgical year and the celebration of Eucharist. They
demonstrate an understanding of the term communion of saints. They explain the
significance of personal and communal prayer, including the Our Father and The
Examen, and the use of spiritual exercises, including reflective prayer journaling
and praying with the icons of the saints, for the spiritual life of believers. They
participate respectfully in a variety of these personal and communal prayer
experience and spiritual exercises.
Church
Liturgy and Sacraments
Religious Knowledge and Deep Understanding
The Churchs liturgical year is told through a framework of different seasons
(Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, Pentecost, Ordinary Time), revealing the story of
salvation and drawing inspiration from Jewish tradition (CHLS9)
Elaboration
Designing a visual representation (e.g. class prayer mat, altar cloths, banners, or
lectern drapes) for a particular liturgical season and sacred rituals, incorporating
use of appropriate symbols and colours that help individuals and groups make
meaning of the liturgical season and writing a justification for their choice of colour
and use of symbols in their designs (reference to liturgical resources should be
made in students justification/s)
Students will be assisted to:
Identify what visual representations are used for the celebration of Lent
Create an item to use during a liturgy
Describe why these items are important when celebrating the liturgy

Fertile Question:
What symbolic representations can be made
between the visual items and the themes of
Lent?

Summative Assessment:

space within the classroom to use
during their Lent liturgy using
their created visual resources.
