RE - What kind of king is Jesus?

(5)
This 5 week unit of work enables the children to explore the idea about trying to transform the world. It explores what a better world would be like while gathering ideas about some of the problems it has. The following objectives are covered over the 6 weeks: Make sense of belief: • Explain connections between biblical texts and the concept of the kingdom of God • Consider different possible meanings for the biblical texts studied, showing awareness of different interpretations Understand the impact: • Make clear connections between belief in the kingdom of God and how Christians put their beliefs into practice • Show how Christians put their beliefs into practice in different ways Make connections: • Relate the Christian ‘kingdom of God’ model (i.e. loving others, serving the needy) to issues, problems and opportunities in the world today • Articulate their own responses to the idea of the importance of love and service in the world today. All resources are listed here and are referenced in the lesson plans. A great unit that provokes some thoughtful and philosophical discussions. Please note: this unit of work could easily be extended to 6 weeks as there are opportunities for the children to present and share their work with their peers.

Year 3/4 Literacy - How to Live Forever - Complete Lesson Collection

(0)
Resources Updated January 2023 This is a ready-to-go lesson slide collection with teaching notes for How to Live Forever by Colin Thompson. There are 11 PowerPoint lessons which will easily last 3 weeks. Children explore the themes and ideas set out in the book, as well as writing a prequel, character and setting descriptions, lost book posters and also letters of warning/advice. The resource is presented as PowerPoint slides, with tasks built throughout each lesson, most lessons actually took me more than one day to complete so this could easily keep you going for 3 weeks+. I have used all of these slides in my own Y3 class with great results. (I will add pictures when I next get chance). These slides are my interpretation of the How to Live Forever planning sequences devised by The Literary Curriculum, which are available to purchase on their website. All the work is self contained within the slides. You do not need to purchase the book ‘How to Live Forever’ in order to use these PowerPoints however I’d recommend adding it to your collection as it is a beautiful book with tremendous illustrations.
