This was the question the year 3/4 students explored during their prayer unit this semester.

They were invited to deepen their understanding of ‘what prayer is?’ and ‘what it looks like?’ through authentic dialogue and experiencing various types of prayer. Students came up with responses such as ‘prayer is communicating with God’, ‘prayer is tuning into God’, ‘prayer is loving God’ and/or ‘prayer is waiting on God’. Students learnt the skill of locating and reading scripture (Luke 11:1-5) from the Bible and made connections to how it relates to their own lives (The Lord’s Prayer).

As part of this unit of study, the year 3/4 students set up prayer spaces in their classrooms by designing and creating a class prayer cloth. Some classes even took them home to design with their family members as a way of praying and sharing their learning.
