Y6 RE Unit Part 1 - Does belief in Akhirah help Muslims to lead good lives? based on Discovery

(1)
This is a 5 lesson unit (Part 1) about Islam and Akhirah for Year 6, based on Discovery education resources. Part 1 is ‘How does belief in Akhirah help Muslims lead good lives and how does faith help people with faith deal with matters of life and death?’ Part 2 is also available and follows on from this unit covering concepts of ‘jihad’ in greater depth. This unit comprises 5 lessons based on the following learning questions: Lesson 1: What is a ‘good’ life? Lesson 2: How do Muslim’s lead good lives? Lesson 3: What is Jihad? Lesson 4: What do Muslim’s believe about heaven? Lesson 5: How well does faith help people cope with matters of life and death? *I always plan for 5 lessons to ensure there is a lesson spare in a 6 week unit to explore one further or spend some time coming back to something the children did not fully understand - or to complete tasks. It allows for a lesson to go over two sessions, if required, in greater depth. All lesson PowerPoints (both in PPT and PDF format). All support docs/files for each lesson (both Word and PDF). Planning document covering each lesson with differentiation/extension opportunities. Please leave a positive review if you like this resource to let others know! Many thanks in advance.

Understanding Symbols - KS1 RE Lesson!

(0)
In this engaging and informative lesson, children learn what symbols are, and begin to interpret and reflect on the meaning of symbols. They apply this knowledge in creating their own symbols, considering what the objects/ animals, colours and shapes that they select represent. I used this as an introductory lesson, before then going into more depth about different religious symbols in the subsequent lessons. Children enjoyed it and it gave them a solid understanding of symbols to build on in the next steps of their learning. This resource pack contains a comprehensive and colourful 15-slide Powerpoint, which guides teachers and students through the learning activities. A template worksheet is also provided (in Word and PDF) for the students to create and describe their symbol. In the past, I have used this lesson with children in both Years 1 and 2 - the key learning is aligned with national expectations for RE, and also the content prescribed by most diocese regions. All images are licensed for commercial use, and are cited on the final slide.
