Class Five CRE
Description
The primary Christian Religious Education Syllabus is designed in a way that enable the teacher to adopt a life-approach method of teaching. This approach begins with actual day-today experiences and helps the learners to discover their religious significance in relation to the Christian faith. The syllabus thus encourages a child – centred approach to the teaching of CRE.
It is intended that the teacher will use the children’s interests and experiences while teaching. This means that activities chosen to explain religious truths and values should be selected and organized according to the children’s age and level of mental development.
