Studies of Religion - God, Prayer and Sacraments: 10 Lesson Plans + 1 Summative Assessment Task (Year 3)

Hello Year 3! Welcome to a special unit where we will learn more about our amazing faith!
We're going to explore all about prayer – how we can talk to God, why we talk to God, and
all the different ways we can pray, just like special people called saints did! We'll also learn
about the seven special ways God meets us and gives us His love and help, called
Sacraments. We'll find out about the Sacraments that welcome us into God's family, the
ones that help us when we need healing, and the ones about serving others. It's going to be
an exciting journey discovering more about God and His love for us!
