    Growing in Christ CRE Activities Grade1

    The Growing in Christ competency-based series is designed to offer practical experiences that enhance learners’ understanding of the Christian faith while instilling essential values, skills, and attitudes for harmonious living. Each book in this series features a variety of engaging activities aimed at fostering the acquisition of core competencies and values, as well as promoting an understanding of current and relevant issues. The Learner’s Book is aligned with the New Competency-based Curriculum and includes:

    • Content structured to match the curriculum design.
    • A “Let us do” section with individual and group activities to encourage active learning.
    • Real-life scenarios that develop creativity and critical thinking for solving everyday challenges.
    • An “In the Bible” section summarizing relevant Bible verses.
    • A “Take home” section that promotes learning from the home environment and applying lessons learned.
    • An “I wonder” section that inspires learners to imagine new possibilities, deepening their appreciation of God’s Word, themselves, and others.

    Together, the Learner’s Book and the Teacher’s Guide provide comprehensive support for learners and teachers to thrive under the New Competency-based Curriculum.

    Oxford, your companion for success!
