<p>These notes provide everything you need to get an 40/40 or a high A in Religious Experience questions. The plans are clear, easy to read and colour-coded so you can see AO1 and AO2.

These notes cut straight to the point and give you 40/40 essays for all possible questions on Religious Experience for the OCR A Level. As with all OCR RS topics, there are a limited number of possible questions from the specification, and this document gives you A Grade essay for all possible question.</p> <p>These plans use a structure of six shortish paragraphs, with two AO1 and four AO2.

<p>These resources aim to support Christian schools (I designed this for a Catholic School) to guide their children in creating and leading meaningful collective worship or prayer and liturgy within their classrooms or year groups.</p> <p>The model uses the GATHER, LISTEN, RESPOND, GO FORTH format. It is colour-coded, memorable and extremely easy to follow.</p> <p>You will need to cut and laminate the smaller picture resources to allow children to manipulate them and decide on how they can best deliver their collective worship by adding them to the larger colour coded sheet (best printed and laminated on A3)</p> <p>Also included is an informative support booklet for the children when it is their turn to lead. It guides them to decide on a theme and how to consider what to do in each aspect of the service. There are some helpful pages how to select Scripture, with verses included, depending on their theme, rather than starting with nothing.</p> <p>I know many teachers in Christian schools have found this to be a really useful resource for their class and I hope your class enjoy using it.</p>

<p>This lesson on baptism was designed for a class of 6-7 year-olds in an Archdiocese school as part of a formal school inspection. The lesson received glowing praise from the inspectors, noting the interactive approach, the clarity of teaching, and the engaging use of technology. The lesson focused on introducing children to the sacrament of baptism through storytelling, visual aids, and a child-friendly reenactment.</p> <p>Included:</p> <ul> <li>Lesson Plans</li> <li>PPTs</li> <li>Script</li> </ul> <p>The lesson began with an engaging PowerPoint presentation outlining the key elements of baptism, using simple language and colourful illustrations. The slides highlighted the significance of water, the Holy Spirit, the baptismal candle, and the anointing with oil, all presented in a way that was easy for young children to understand. It included opportunities for the children to participate by asking questions and sharing any experiences they had witnessed with baptisms in their families.</p> <p>Following the PowerPoint presentation, the class participated in a short, fun role-play exercise where the children acted out a baptism. This hands-on activity helped solidify their understanding of the sacrament. The children took turns playing different roles: priest, parents, godparents, and the baby being baptised. Inspectors praised the lesson for its creativity, engagement, and the children’s evident enjoyment.</p>
