Moving On is now with the printer.
The books will be available to order from May 2003 and order forms
will be sent to schools at that time. Thanks are expressed
to the forty schools that participated in the pilot project last
October. The comments of the teachers were very helpful in
preparing the lessons for the book.
The Advisory Group of teachers –
Carolyn Good, (Timolin NS), Ivan Dungan (St. Iberius NS Wexford),
Ruth Gentleman (St. Andrew’s NS, Bray) and Norma Crowley (St.
Luke’s NS, Douglas) have been of great assistance and support to
the Editor as the lessons were finalised.
Moving On follows on from the work
begun in Stepping Out. It includes further lessons on the
life of Jesus, the Old Testament characters of Samuel, Saul and
David and creates further links with the major festivals of the
Church’s Year e.g. Harvest, Christmas and Easter. As before,
there is a strong emphasis on worship in the programme and many
songs and prayers are included throughout the book. Services
are included which could be used in a church setting or as a
school or class Assembly. Teacher’s Clues are provided to
help the teacher in his/her work by supplying background
information to the Bible material.
The pupils’ textbook contains lively
colour pictures, expertly drawn by the illustrator Jeanette Dunne.
These pictures illustrate the stories told in Moving On. It
is hoped that these books will be kept in the children’s
schoolbags and will provide a link for Religious Education between
school and home. Parents will be encouraged to look at the
pictures, to discuss the stories and pray the prayers with their
children.
There are worksheets provided in the
Teacher’s Book. These worksheets reflect the range of
abilities found in 1st and 2nd class but may also be used in
multi-grade classes that include older classes with 2nd. The
worksheets provide activities ranging from simple colouring to
word searches and code breakers. The worksheets may be
photocopied for classroom use.
The Church Education Society has
kindly agreed to make a gift of one copy of the teacher’s book to
each school under the patronage of the three sponsoring churches.
These will be sent out with individual school orders.
