RELIGION & VALUES

Dear Parents/Guardians,

This term in Religion and Values, students explored various topics ranging from faith, worship, Prophets and Pillars of Islam. While it is important for our students to gain academic knowledge, it is even more vital that they develop good character full of faith, compassion, and honesty. In my classes, I have been working to improve my students’ understanding in the essence of faith by reading stories, watching informative videos, getting students to role-play.

Students have been enthusiastically completing, R and V curriculum designed for this term and enjoying learning about our faith and religious values. Foundation students have been learning the basics of Islam, such as the Islamic greetings, Bismillah, Alhamdulillah and some of Allah’s names, Al-Khaliq and Ar-Razzak. Years 1 to 6 students have been learning about the importance of Faith in Islam. Students learnt about the Six Pillars of Faith in detail at each Year Level. They studied these topics through questioning, brainstorming, exploring and watching videos. In Memorisation classes, students have been learning different surahs/du’as.

I also teach Year 3 Integrated Studies. During these classes, Year 3 students have been learning about the history of Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and different cultural/religious celebrations around the world.

I wish everyone a peaceful term break.

Regards,
