What's Happening In Primary

Term 2 Scripture Focus: Learning Psalm 121 Together

Each week at assembly, we regularly practise learning a Bible verse together. This term, however, we are going to try something a little different by working towards learning an entire chapter over the course of the term. Throughout Term 2, Primary will be focusing on Psalm 121 during our Monday and Friday Assemblies. This beautiful chapter reminds us of God’s constant care, protection, and presence in our lives—truths that are deeply encouraging for our students to carry with them each day.

To help students engage meaningfully with the passage, we will be learning Psalm 121 in small sections every 2–3 weeks. By the end of the term, students will have learned and possibly memorised the entire chapter, building both confidence and a deeper understanding of God’s Word.

We encourage families to join us in this journey! Learning these verses together at home can be a wonderful way to reinforce what students are discovering at school and to nurture faith conversations as a family.
