In this lesson, students learn about the key features of Anglican churches. Some of the features covered include: the font, the altar, the pulpit, the lecturn, the nave, the crucifix and stained glass windows. Students learn about the key purpose of the features, and where they can be found in the church. Students also begin to comprehend what the features symbolise. This resource pack contains a comprehensive 16-slide Powerpoint, alongside an eye-catching worksheet. Two extension activities are provided in order to challenge higher ability learners. In the past, I have used this lesson with children from across Key Stage 2 - the key learning is aligned with NC expectations for RE, and also the content prescribed by most diocese regions. All images are licensed for commercial use, and are cited on the final slide.

A lesson using CLIL (content language integrated learning) to teach about the Olympics in French. I used this to build upon a previous lesson (conducted in English) where we had learnt about the history of the Olympics as part of our Greeks topic. That had dealt with the first olympics in 776BC until they stopped around 1,000 years later. This lesson deals with how a Frenchman resurrected the Olympics in 1896. It briefly recaps the history in English then continues in French. We finish with a prediction game to practice sporting vocab. A bit complicated but I hope it makes sense!
