In this engaging lesson, students develop their understanding of special places in Christianity, Islam and Judaism. It was originally taught as a part of an RE unit on ‘Special Places’ and so assumes some prior knowledge of churches and mosques (I have uploaded the prior lessons on this). The lesson introduces synagogues.
The learning is guided by a clear and colourful PowerPoint presentation, which guides students through the following step-by-step journey:
-Knowledge recall - gauging what children already know about special places in Christianity and Islam;
-Being introduced to synagogues and their key features;
-Using a provided worksheet/ template to find similarities and differences between churches, mosques and synagogues;
-Creating their own special places;
-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 (23 slides) and the worksheet (provided in both Word and PDF). There is everything that you need here to teach the lesson, but you may wish to have some cardboard, shoeboxes etc. available for the creative task.
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.
