In our recent Religious Education Survey a number of people commented that they had not seen, or were not aware of the Family – Whanau Book. Each new family will receive a copy of it when their child starts school. It is part of the New Entrant pack. (cost of Whanau Book $30- a one off purchase)
It contains information from Year One through to Year Eight.
Why look in it?
- It has prayers for families
- It has suggestions for families in relation to the strands that the children are covering in class.
- Suggested comments for parents to use in Religious Education Home learning
- Stages of Faith Development of a Child
Please note that the Children’s Activity Book that is referred to in this book is no longer available, rather individual teachers supply supporting / interactive activities for the children to reflect on their learning.
We hope that this clears up some of the mystery regarding this wonderful resource.
If you would like to purchase a copy please request it at the school office
