Christmas Year 6 Planning With Emphasis on Comparison of Gospels
Great planning.
Powerpoints and worksheets plus a week plan.
sample planning :
Ask children to think about their literacy lessons – TTYP and name the important details that are needed in telling a story
(e.g. time, place, characters and events).
Ask children to the recall names of the four main Gospels.
Do they all tell the same story? (Essentially yes but lead children towards idea that they are different versions of the same story).
Use analogy of an incident occurring on the playground – would each child tell the same incident in the same way? No they would tell their version of the same event – some details and word choices would differ.
Talk about today’s WALT and explain that we are going to be looking at some different Gospel accounts of the birth of Jesus Christ. Explain to ch that, in order to achieve their WALT, they will need to be comparing and contrasting everything which they read.
Explain briefly that three out of the four Gospels deal with the birth or Christ; there are many similarities and many differences in the way in which the Gospels record and explain the event.
For today’s lesson we are going to focus on Matthew’s Gospel and Luke’s Gospel.
Discuss possible reasons for the differences in the two accounts. They are coming from two different people; points of view; written at different times but the basic story is the same.
Briefly recap last lesson. Which two Gospels did we look at? Which story were we reading? Did both Gospels tell the story in exactly the same way?
Refer to the list which was made in the plenary last lesson - which other characters were involved in the Christmas story?
Re-read the story of the birth of Jesus in Matthew’s Gospel. Continue to read until Chapter 2 verse 12.
Why did the message of Jesus’ birth first come to shepherds rather than King
Herod?
Why did Herod want to get rid of Jesus?
What words would you use to describe the threat that this baby was to Herod?
What do you think led men to come from the east by the light of a star to find this child?
Herod assumed the King of the Jews sought by the wise men was a conventional king and thus a rival to his throne.
TTYP – what were the names of the three gifts which the wise men brought to the baby Jesus?
Briefly recap the unit so far. Who are the main characters in the Christmas story? Which two Gospel accounts of the birth of Christ have we looked at? What are the similarities and differences between them?
Share the WALT and explain that this lesson will focus on the birth of Christ according to St John’s Gospel.
Explain that in St. John’s Gospel there is no account of the birth of Christ, but there is a poem at the beginning that speaks about him.
Use PPT to explain a prologue.

Year 6 Cross Curricular Literacy History World War 2 English
To plan and write a recount text, using appropriate form, features and language.
To understand the value of the ‘home front’ during WWII.
To discuss and write about the life of children during WWII.
Understand the role of the ‘home front’ and the impact of rationing. Explain that this week’s literacy lessons are linked closely to our current history topic. We are moving on to a geography topic after half term.
Recap what we have learned recently in history lessons.
What were the main causes for WWII? Dates? Political leaders? Axis? Allies? How was the war fought? What was the Blitz? What sort of places did the Germans target? Why?
Last lesson I asked you to discuss the posters issued by the British Government. What did you find out?
Show the quote: “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. You ask, What is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory.” TTYP – who do you think said this?
Come back together and establish that it was part of a speech by Winston Churchill when he became PM in May 1940. At this time, victory seemed a long way off.
Show map of the world. Explain that, at the time of this speech, the German forces had already conquered Norway and Denmark. Now, they were sweeping through Belgium and the Netherlands. By 20 May, they reached the English Channel. More than 500 000 British and French troops were trapped on the French coast at Dunkirk. Hundreds of boats, big and small, repeatedly sailed from Britain and brought nearly 340 000 safely back to England. The German advance went on. On 17th June France surrendered. Most of North-West Europe was now in Hitler’s hands. The German leader began to plan the invasion of Britain, only 34 KM away.
Britain now stood alone with scarcely anyone to help. The USA had not yet entered the war. The countries of the British Empire such as Australia and Canada were too far away. Churchill encouraged the people of Britain with defiant speeches. “We shall go on to the end,” he said, “we shall never surrender.”
What was providing a natural barrier for the British against the Germans? The sea. However, it also caused problems. Britain’s farmers could not grow enough food to feed the population. Large amounts had to be brought in from home by ships. Merchant or goods ships were slow and lightly armed and so were easy targets for German U-boats and bomber aircraft. Between March and May 1941 over 320 merchant ships bound for Britain were sunk. Food such as flour, meat and sugar were in short supply.

Jesus was as human as you and me, in all but sin, and yet at the same time he was Gods’ Son.
Do you really think it was difficult for him to say no to the devil? Why do you think it might have been difficult?
Look at the text again. Are there any indicators, which show that this was easy?
