Taken from our Lower Keystage 2 R.E Resource file
This unit grapples with an issue of universal debate both within and between religions. In recent years, religious fanaticism has been regarded as a major contribution to war and suffering around the world. In truth, religious zeal has always been a factor in conflict on a local, national and international scale. By starting with playground problems and other contexts in which pupils’ arguments may get physical, the unit explores the problem of what is meant by a ‘justifiable’ war, looks at both religious and non-religious responses to war and suffering through the work of charities, and ends with a look at how individuals can make peace, even when whole countries are fighting each other. The length of the unit means that this is not intended to be an in-depth study, so you should see each lesson as an opportunity for pupils to develop questions, rather than be given all the answers. It will be important to address any topical issues or current events that may occur while you are teaching this unit to make the subject an uncomfortable reality for your class.

This unit addresses the topic of marriage in a way
that is appropriate for Key Stage 2 pupils. It begins
by looking in general terms at the idea of love and
relationships, then goes on to explore how some
of the major religions allow believers to make a
lifelong commitment to their partner and how
God’s blessing on this is represented in a marriage
ceremony. Non-religious commitment is also
discussed and addressed.
The individual circumstances of anyone in your
class for whom this is a sensitive topic should
be considered and discussed with their carers if
appropriate.
You will need to source video clips of Christian,
Jewish, Muslim and Sikh marriage ceremonies to
enhance the teaching of the lessons.
Prior learning: It is likely that pupils will have
studied friendship, families and perhaps other
relationships that are special to them. However, no
specific knowledge is required to access the unit.
Lesson length: The lessons are designed to last
approximately 75 minutes.
7 lesson unit includes all lesson plans and resource sheets
Lesson 1: Relationships
Lesson 2: Love
Lesson 3: Christian Weddings
Lesson 4: Jewish Weddings
Lesson 5: Arranged Marriage
Lesson 6: Sikh Wedding
Lesson 7: When relationships go wrong
The main purpose of this Mathematics Homework is to make your life, as a teacher of Year 6 pupils, as easy as possible. All of the homework activities are based on the renewed Primary Framework for mathematics; however, as they assess specific learning objectives they can be used in conjunction with other planned teaching schemes.
Each homework activity sheet addresses a whole, or part of, a learning objective. The questions are written to test the understanding of your pupils once they have worked on a topic in the lesson. This in turn, will provide you with the information required to assess the pupils’ learning, and will enable you to plan your lessons effectively.
With a full set of answers included you can be confident that your students are getting regular, relevant homework that tests their understanding across the Year 6 objectives and all seven core strands. This easy-to-use CD will reduce the time spent preparing and marking homework enabling you use your time as efficiently as possible.
The Year 6 curriculum is structured into five blocks, reflecting the same structure as the other primary year groups. Each block is made up of three units, and each unit represents two or three weeks of teaching. The blocks are:
• Block A: Counting, partitioning and calculating
• Block B: Securing number facts, understanding shape
• Block C: Handling data and measures
• Block D: Calculating, measuring and understanding shape
• Block E: Securing number facts, relationships and calculating
Our Mathematics Homework Activities provide you with a set of challenging and engaging Maths homework activities for every week of the school year.
Each maths activity addresses a whole or part of a learning objective and all the homework sheets are in Microsoft® Word format.

There is also a teacher’s answer section, which provides answers to questions posed on the homework sheets and suggests the sort of responses you can expect from children.
The LCP Science Homework Activities contain 66 colourful, printable homework sheets which give your children the opportunity to practise scientific skills, encourage their curiosity and improve their understanding of science.
Each homework activity sheet is divided into two parts. The first part provides an opportunity for children to consolidate scientific skills, such as predicting, planning, observing, analysing data through tables and graphs, drawing conclusions and evaluating.
The second part of each sheet consists of practical challenges. Some are quick while others can take place over a few days. The challenges are varied, to suit different learning styles. They are also designed to be fun, in order to develop curiosity and inspire children to think and work like scientists. Because learning is always best shared, it is a good idea for children to carry out the challenges as a group; this could be with classmates or at home with a responsible adult.
This download is packed with homework sheets featuring written activities and practical challenges – all supported by a teacher’s answer section that suggests the sort of responses you should expect. All of the homework sheets are in Microsoft® Word.
