Year 1

As part of their exploration of God as creator, students participated in a creation walk around the school grounds. This activity was a lovely hands-on activity designed to deepen their appreciation for the natural world. During the walk, they engaged in a scavenger hunt, using their five senses to observe and reflect on elements of creation. They drew or wrote about what they could hear, smell, see, or feel, discovering the beauty and detail in things made by God.

This experience encouraged reverence and mindfulness, as students paused to notice the sacredness in everyday surroundings. Their thoughtful participation was acknowledged and celebrated, reinforcing the message that caring for creation is both a spiritual and personal responsibility.
