Grade 2 CRE Creation – Creation Of Sky, Moon And Stars Notes
CRE: Creation
Subtopic: Creation of the Sky, Moon and Stars 🌤️🌙⭐
Story in simple words: On the fourth day God made the sky full of lights. He made the sun for day, and the moon and stars for night. The Bible tells us this in Genesis 1:14–19. God made them to give light and to help us know time (days, months, years).
Key points
- God made the sky, the moon and the stars on the fourth day.
- The sun gives light in the day; the moon and stars give light at night.
- The moon changes shape — we call these phases: full moon, half moon and new moon.
- In Kenya we can look up at beautiful stars and the moon on clear nights.
Memory verse
"God made the lights in the sky." — Genesis 1:16 (easy words)

- Ask an adult: Can we see the moon tonight? Which shape is it?
