RE Finding out about Hinduism Unit

This unit is designed for year 4 but could be adapted to fit into other year groups. Ultimately the unit is focused on children researching ‘Hinduism’ and the various different aspects which help to differentiate Hinduism from other religions. It develops the following skills:

1. Children can provide a personalised summary on the religion of Hinduism.
2. Children can describe some of the key aspects of Hinduism.
3. Children describe the value, for Hindus, of some of the key parts of Hinduism i.e. festivals, place of worship, sacred text and inspirational leader.

Lesson 1: Children are introduced to the term ‘religion’ and what makes up a religion.

Lesson 2-5: Children are provided with a research challenge where they must find out as much as possible about certain aspects of the religion.

Lesson 3: Children present their understanding of the religion to an audience.
