Yesterday, Class 2 revised the story of Jesus’ Crucifixion. They also read through the book of Matthew to refresh the children’s memory and help them remember the important events leading up to the cross.

As the children prepare for a little test next week, they were asked to bring back their homework books and write the story of the Crucifixion in their own words and understanding. They were encouraged to include the key characters and explain the role each character played in the events leading up to the cross.

This activity will form part of their test and gives the children an opportunity to show what they have learned and understood.

“He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross.” — 1 Peter 2:24

Class 1 Learning: The Crucifixion ✝️❤️

This morning, Class 1 wrapped up our learning about The Crucifixion through a short revision video and group discussion. The children shared what they remembered about the story and reflected on important ideas such as sin, forgiveness and God’s love. The children shared thoughtful reflections in their own words:

“When you say sorry, it means you know what you did was not good and you don’t do it again.”

“God makes us strong to not do bad things.”

“If you love Jesus, you have to do good things or Jesus will be died again and the bad guys will smash him.”

The children then drew pictures to show their understanding and confidently retold the story in their own words. It was wonderful to see them reflect on God’s Word and grow in their understanding of Jesus’ love, forgiveness and obedience.

1 John 1:9:
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins.”

✨ August Learning: The Crucifixion ✨

This month in Sunday School, we have been learning that sin separates us from God. However, because of His great love for us, God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins so that we could be forgiven.

We explored how Jesus showed complete obedience to God, even during difficult circumstances. Through these lessons, the children were encouraged to understand that following God is not always easy, but we can rely on His strength to help us make good choices, forgive others, and obey Him. We were reminded that when we place our trust in Jesus, our sins are forgiven, and He continues to help us grow in faith each day.

Vasega Amata extended on this learning through Isaiah 38:20, reflecting on King Hezekiah, who responded to God’s healing with a heart full of gratitude and praise.

“The Lord was ready to save me; therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our lives in the house of the Lord.” – Isaiah 38:20

We are thankful for another month of growing in God’s Word together.

Join us in Sunday School as we continue to dive deeper into the Word of God, discovering His love, wisdom, and promises together. Through Bible stories, meaningful discussions, songs, and hands-on activities, children are encouraged to grow in their faith and build a stronger relationship with God.

We look forward to learning, growing, and praising Him together this Sunday. Everyone is welcome!

On Sunday, Vasega Amata shared the special Bible verse Psalm 139:14: “I am fearfully and wonderfully made…”

In Vasega Amata, the children explored this message through a painting sensory experience. As they made handprints, their teacher reminded them in simple ways that God made them, God loves them, and each of them is special.

Through this experience, the children were supported to feel safe, loved, and valued, as they begin to develop an early understanding of belonging and God’s love for them.

This morning, we began learning about Palm Sunday through the theme, “Behold Your King is Coming.” The children were encouraged to recognise the amazing things God has done and not take them lightly, but to respond with praise and joy as they see God as their King.

Through group discussions and activities, the older children explored how the disciples recognised the mighty works of Jesus and celebrated Him as King. They also reflected on how the Pharisees did not fully recognise who Jesus was and became upset, asking Him to stop the people from praising.

The younger children engaged with the story through a creative handprint palm activity, which will later be used in a collaborative artwork representing the story of Palm Sunday.

Through this learning, the children are developing an understanding of who Jesus is and the importance of responding with thankful and joyful hearts.

The month of May served as a powerful reminder for us through the Parable of the Talents.

Throughout the month, we reflected on what it means to faithfully use what we have been given. During Sunday School, we explored the idea that everyone has unique gifts, abilities, and opportunities, and that these are not meant to be hidden, but nurtured, developed, and shared.

We were encouraged to step out in faith, to be responsible with what God has entrusted to us, and to grow in confidence as we use our gifts to serve others. Whether big or small, every effort matters when it is done with a willing and faithful heart.

As we move into a new month, we carry this reminder with us: to be faithful stewards, to keep growing, and to use all that we have been given for good.

This morning we wrapped up our learning on The Parable of Talents. God has given each of us special gifts, and we are called to use and grow them faithfully. Through discussions, and group activities, the children reflected on what their own “talents” might be—whether that’s being kind, helping others, being creative, or skills like sports and learning. We encouraged them to understand that every gift, big or small, has value and purpose.

With our younger group, this led to some thoughtful and engaging conversations—especially around sporting abilities. One question that stood out was, “How can you use footy or rugby for God?” This created a great opportunity for the children to think more deeply. As a group, they brainstormed ways such as teaching and encouraging others, showing teamwork and good sportsmanship, training hard and taking care of their bodies, praying for strength and protection, and remembering to thank God after each game. They also discussed how praising God isn’t just for winning—but something we can do in both victory and loss.

This naturally led us into our second theme: joy in faithful stewardship. The children learned that a good servant takes joy in using what they’ve been given in a way that honours God. We talked about how our attitude matters—not just what we do, but how and why we do it. Are we using our gifts to bring glory to God? Are we grateful for what we have?

It has been a meaningful and encouraging topic, helping the children see how their everyday actions, interests, and abilities can all be used as part of their faith journey.

On Sunday, we wrapped up our learning on the story of the Ten Virgins with a short revision before completing our end-of-topic test. This provided a meaningful opportunity for the children to pause, reflect, and consolidate their understanding of the story and its key messages.

Throughout this learning, the children have been exploring what it means to be wise and prepared. We discussed how the wise virgins were ready and watchful, and how we can apply this in our own lives by listening to God, making good choices, and being ready in our hearts each day.

The end-of-topic test was not only a way to revisit what we’ve learned, but also a chance for the children to share their thoughts, express their understanding, and celebrate their growth. We are so proud of the way they have engaged with this story and the thoughtful connections they are beginning to make.
