Values and Virtues

Curious and Active

Curious: Exploring God’s creation and asking questions to find out more. Everything around us was created by God. Being curious about these things – from tiny insects to enormous planets, from the languages of the Earth to the patterns made by numbers – brings us closer to God.

Active: Working to make things better where we can. Making the right choices to how to act. As we use our curiosity to explore, we find things that could be better: a friend is unhappy; a neighbour is lonely; there is litter in the playground; the whiteboard needs wiping. Some of these problems we can fix. By being active we take responsibility for these tasks and look after God’s creation.

Share this Prayer with your child

Help me Jesus

Know your ways

Through the night

Through the days

Give me love

To show a friend

You’re always there

You never end

Amen

The parable of 'The Good Samaritan' is an example of someone who was curious and active.
