In this engaging lesson, students develop their understanding of churches and what happens in them. It was originally taught as a part of an RE unit on ‘Special Places.’
The learning is guided by a clear and colourful PowerPoint presentation, which guides students through the following step-by-step journey:
-Knowledge harvesting what children already know about churches, and what they would like to find out;
-Studying a number of images of different features in churches (provided) and using a template to record their findings;
-Discussing and identifying what events take place in churches, and how these are commemorated;
-Understanding that churches are special places to Christians, and that we should behave respectfully when we are in/ around them;
-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 template & pictures for the main activity (provided in Word and PDF). There is everything that you need here to teach the lesson.
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.
