Understanding Christianity: Creation Unit

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
