This is a 5 lesson unit that follows up (Part 2) the first unit (Part 1 - which can be purchased separatelt) 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?’ This is a challenging unit that encourages Y6 pupils to think for themselves and ponder about belief in a religion and the possibility of after-life, linked to it. It is about the actions and deeds in this life influencing the journey through to the next. It challenges some stereotypes set in the media about ‘jihad’ and the misinterpretation of the meaning of it.

Lesson 5: How do I explain how sometimes people see/interpret things in different ways? *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).

This is a whole unit of work based on the Discovery unit, ‘Is Christianity still strong after 2000 years?’ for Year 6 which gets children to come to their own conclusions each week. A thought provoking unit for Year 6 pupils and provides them with some great opportunities to think for themselves and develop their own opinions - and justify them. Each lesson covers the following: Lesson 1: Who is influential in our lives and why? Lesson 2: Do festivals and symbols show that Christianity is still a strong religion today? Lesson 3: If Christianity is motivating people to do good in the world, does this show it is still a strong religion? Lesson 4: If some countries persecute/torture/imprison people for being Christians, does this show that they are fearful of Christianity and therefore that it is seen as a strong religion today? Lesson 5: Where else in British society do you see the influence of Christianity and is it still a strong religion 2000 years after Jesus was on earth? *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.
