This unit of work is based on the planning of ‘Understanding Christianity’.It is the unit called: Salvation - Why do Christians call the day Jesus died as Good Friday? This unit of work is all about Easter. The lessons include a range of activities such as: Listening to stories Writing a diary entry as Mary Magdalene Creating a poster Easter hunt Art work

This is a unit of work I have planned, resourced and used from the Understanding Christianity scheme of work. This is ‘Gospel’ and it is aimed at Years 3 and 4. This is a Powerpoint download of the following lessons: Lesson 1: Engage with the idea of Gospel through parables A focus on understanding what a parable is and this looks at The Thankful Leper and The Good Samaritan. This has a fill in the gaps task about The Good Samaritan. Lesson 2: Enquire into the idea of Gospel This focuses on understanding why Jesus told the story of The Good Samaritan and what it means to Christians to be a good samaritan. This has a diary entry writing task about The Good Samaritan. Lesson 3: Explore ways in which Christians practice Gospel This focuses on what Christians might do to be a good samaritan and live life how God and Jesus wanted. This looks directly into the charity Christian Aid and what some Christians dedicate their life to. This contains a drawing task. Lesson 4: Evaluate how Christians can share God’s message This lesson focuses on rich discussion and writing to answer questions about what kind of world God wants and what kind of world the children want and why. This then goes into an art focus of creating a piece of artwork to encourage others to be kind. The last slide of this Powerpoint contains ways in which children can express their learning about kindness by suggesting activities they can do to show kindness.

Here are Powerpoint slides of four lessons based on the planning from Understanding Christianity. This is aimed at Years 3 and 4. In this unit there is a variety of activities such as creative art activities as well as a writing task. This is ready to download and teach. The learning objectives for each lesson are as follows: Lesson 1: Engage in the story of Creation and Fall Children listen to the story of Creation and go on a mindful walk around the school grounds to look at any nature they can see and appreciate that Christians believe this was created by God. They return and explore the concept of temptation first-hand and then explore the panel images that represent creation and fall from the Understanding Christianity unit. Lesson 2: Enquire into Christian belief that humans cannot get close to God without his help Here children will explore the feelings of Adam, Eve and God when Eve betrayed them. The outcome of this lesson is a diary entry of Eve exploring how she feels. Children will understand the importance of saying sorry and taking responsibility for their actions. Lesson 3: Explore that the bible shows God wants to help people by giving guidelines Children will explore the ten commandments and watch videos of two different types of churches that serve God in different ways. Their task is to create a piece of art based on one of or all of the ten commandments. Examples are included. Lesson 4: Evaluate and express our learning about creation and fall This lesson will consist of children ordering the story of creation as a reminder, completing a quiz either individually or in teams about the creation story. There is then a selection of activities to choose from in two sections: writing or drawing. Included: The Powerpoint with all of the links required inside The quiz for lesson 4 #understandingchristianity #RE #christian #creation #thefall #adamandeve #unit #religion #religiouseducation #God #Bible
