The learning objectives for each lesson are as follows: Lesson 1: Engage in the story of Creation and Fall Children listen to the story of Creation and go on a mindful walk around the school grounds to look at any nature they can see and appreciate that Christians believe this was created by God. They return and explore the concept of temptation first-hand and then explore the panel images that represent creation and fall from the Understanding Christianity unit. Lesson 2: Enquire into Christian belief that humans cannot get close to God without his help Here children will explore the feelings of Adam, Eve and God when Eve betrayed them.

Here are Powerpoint slides of five lessons based on the planning from Understanding Christianity. This is aimed at Year 2. In this unit there is a variety of activities such as creative art activities, Lego activities as well as writing tasks. This is ready to download and teach. The learning objectives for each lesson are as follows: Lesson 1: Engage in the idea that God created the universe. This starts off with the children completing a key word writing activity where they write 5 of the unit’s key words 3 times. The teacher and children then discuss what they know about Creation so far and start writing down some questions they would like to find out. The teacher then goes through the Powerpoint which tells the story of Creation. The activity is to complete a storyboard of the Creation story. This lesson may take 2 sessions of learning. Lesson 2: Explore the big frieze Creation panel Here children will explore the order of the Bible and see that Creation comes first. They will explore the Big Frieze that comes with Understanding Christianity which are large images representing each part of the Bible. Children will explore the Creation image looking at it carefully and seeing what they spot. After this, children will create their own panel image to represent Creation. Place all of the images together to take a picture for display and their books. Lesson 3: Explore that God has a unique relationship with human beings. Building on learning from the last session, children will create their own Lego creations and understand how it feels to have some of it broken. They will learn how God may feel when people don’t look after the Earth. Children will discuss key questions at the end of the lesson. Lesson 4: Understand how Christians look after God’s creation. The class will come up with a brain shower of all the ideas they can think of to look after the Earth. There is a video to watch here to support this lesson. Children will complete a worksheet that asks questions about what Christians believe and how important it is to look after the world. This will include ways children can help look after the Earth.
