Grade 6 CRE Revision Paper With Answers (End Term 3)

Quick answer: it covers talents, marriage and leisure, the Bible as God’s inspired word, the Ten Commandments, Samson, Elisha and the axe head, Jacob at Peniel, the call of the disciples, the temptations of Jesus, three miracles, two parables, the Apostles’ Creed, Church unity and Christian living. The first five questions are free.

The questions follow the five strands of the Grade 6 CRE curriculum design listed on the KICD Grade 6 curriculum designs page: Creation, the Bible, the life of Jesus Christ, the Church and Christian living. School end term papers vary, but most mix recall questions (who, where, what happened) with lesson questions. Religious Education is also part of the KPSEA Creative Arts and Social Studies paper set by KNEC, where learners answer the CRE, IRE or HRE section they follow.

• Creation: the parable of the talents, marriage and family (Genesis 2:24) and God’s rest on the seventh day.
• The Bible: inspiration (2 Timothy 3:16), translation into local languages, the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai, Samson and Delilah, Elisha and the floating axe head, and Jacob renamed Israel.
• The life of Jesus Christ: the call of the fishermen, the temptations in the wilderness, the Roman officer’s servant, the woman with the issue of blood, Lazarus at Bethany, the hidden treasure, and the rich man and Lazarus.
• The Church: the Apostles’ Creed and the Trinity, and the Church as one body (1 Corinthians 12).
• Christian living: David and Jonathan’s friendship, the body as a temple of the Holy Spirit, the sanctity of life, and the dangers of alcohol and drugs.

Question: State two lessons Christians learn from the healing of the Roman officer’s servant (Luke 7:1-10).

Model answer: Christians should have faith in Jesus’ power, because the officer believed Jesus could heal by simply giving an order. Christians should care for others, as the officer cared for his servant. One clear lesson per sentence, each tied to the story, earns the marks.

Retell, then apply. After reading a story, ask your child to retell it in four sentences and then say one way it applies at home or school today.

Watch similar names. Grade 6 has two different Lazaruses: the brother of Mary and Martha raised at Bethany, and the poor man in the parable. Ask your child to explain the difference.

Link to life skills. The Christian living strand connects to decisions your child makes now: choosing friends, saying no to drugs and respecting their body. Talk about these openly at home.

• Confusing the two Lazaruses.
• Writing that Jacob’s new name was Abraham. It was Israel.
• Saying the Ten Commandments were given at Mount Carmel. They were given at Mount Sinai.
• Retelling the whole story when the question asks for lessons.

Learners who misuse drugs need help, not punishment alone. The national agency NACADA runs prevention programmes, which is useful background for the drugs and substance abuse sub-strand.

The first five questions are free with no account. The full paper, timer, all explanations and saved scores open with the KSh 20 Day Pass or the KSh 500 Monthly Pass.
