Aim

To develop understanding of Christian beliefs about Creation.

Lesson

Revise what was taught in the previous lesson about thanks. At Harvest, Christians thank God for creating the world.

Explore children's ideas about creation.

The Biblical story of Creation usually features in Harvest services. Share with children the Genesis account of Creation. What does the story say about God and about the role of humanity on Earth?

How well / badly are we carrying out this role?

Activity

Following discussion, the children could

• write their own creation story
• read the story Creation in Reverse
• carry out a search in the school grounds for the unnoticed beauties of Creation
• read the words of 'All Things Bright and Beautiful'
