In this engaging lesson, students consider the places that are important to them. The lesson serves as a foundation for children’s later learning about places that are special to people of different faiths.
The learning is guided by a clear and colourful PowerPoint presentation, which guides students through the following step-by-step journey:
-Discussing the differences between a house and a home;
-Considering what features make a home a special place to many people;
-Identifying the things that make their own homes a special place;
-Brainstorming other places that people may consider as special, e.g. their town or their school;
-Understanding that different people are individuals, and have their own opinions of places that are special;
-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 (17 slides) and the template for the main special places 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.
