In this engaging lesson, students develop their understanding of churches and what happens in them. It was originally taught as a part of an RE unit on ‘Special Places.’
The learning is guided by a clear and colourful PowerPoint presentation, which guides students through the following step-by-step journey:
-Knowledge harvesting what children already know about mosques, and what they would like to find out;
-Learning the basics about Mosques, before reading and comprehending ‘An Important Job for Qaswa the Camel’ - an age-appropriate story about the first mosque;
-Studying a number of images of different features in mosques and discussing why each feature is important;
-Understanding what makes mosques special places to Muslims, and finding similarities and differences between mosques and churches;
-Completing a plenary activity to assess their understanding;
-Self-reflecting on the extent to which they feel they have met the learning objective.
This resource pack includes the comprehensive PowerPoint presentation (24 slides) and the story for the comprehension activity (provided in Word and PDF). There is everything that you need here to teach the lesson.
In the past, I have used this lesson with children from across Key Stage 1 - the key learning is aligned with curriculum expectations for RE, and also the content prescribed by most diocese regions. All images are licensed for commercial use.
