Year 1 – Religion

Year 1 has been learning about the Sacrament of Baptism. Students have learnt that Baptism is the first special Sacrament that welcomes us into God’s family. They shared pictures of their own Baptism, or events where they have been welcomed with their class. Students also participated in a story telling lesson where they watched their teachers demonstrate the steps of Baptism. The baptismal font, chrism oil, holy water, Easter candle and white garments were some of the objects that students were introduced to. They learned that the priest pours holy water onto the baby’s head while saying the special words ‘I baptise you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit’. Students were then split into groups and worked on a collaborative poster to illustrate the symbols and items used during a Baptism.
