Cross-Curricular Priorities
Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 2, students analyse some teachings and actions of Jesus depicted in New Testament texts that reveal aspects of
Gods nature. They discuss their ideas about Gods relationship with the Jewish people as described in some Old Testament stories. Students pose
questions about the life and times of Jesus and use sources provided to answer these questions. They make connections between Jesus
teachings and actions and the way members of the Church community live today.
Students recognise the sacredness of God and all creation, especially human life. They identify ways in which human beings respond to the call to
be co-creators and stewards of Gods creation. Drawing on their own experiences, they suggest ways to pursue peace and justice out of respect for
human life and all creation. They recognise choices that harm an individual and their loving relationships with God, with others and
with all creation. They explain ways in which believers seek to heal these relationships through reconciliation and how they
celebrate reconciliation in the Sacrament of Penance. They recognise that prayer and the wisdom of the saints help the believer to nurture
their relationship with God, with others and with all creation. They participate with respect in a variety of personal and communal prayer
experiences, including meditative prayer and prayers for forgiveness.

Explore the world of text for the three focus Gospel stories,
highlighting key phrases/words, creating a story map, recording
unfamiliar words and investigating the meaning of words.
Dissect story using cues: Who, What, When, Where, Why, How
Predict/suggest what might have happened next (Choose Your Own

Review with students how the stories that Jesus shared show how
people can make mistakes and wrong choices.
Discuss how Christians use the word sin to describe when things go
wrong in the relationship with God or with each other.
Share with students that a way of understanding sin is the idea of a
target and a bullseye.
Show students a target and discuss how when we sin or we make
wrong choices, we miss the target. We can change our behaviour to
be more on target.
Review characters in scripture story of Zacchaeus and discuss the
behaviour they showed.
Use a visual of a target and pictures of the characters to show how
close the characters are to the target eg beginning, middle and end
of story
World in front the text - Students choose the Zacchaeus and/or
Forgiving Father story to create a visual or written image to show
what Jesus was saying about peace and forgiveness in the story.
How did Jesus react to Zacchaeus? /How did the father respond to his
son?
How did others respond?
How did Jesus / the sons father feel at the end of the story?
What is the message for us?
