KS1 RE - The Lord's Prayer!

In this engaging and important lesson, students explore the key meanings of the Lord’s Prayer. They consider why the prayer is so important for Christians, and also begin to think about the words and phrases in life that are special to them.

The learning is guided by a clear and colourful PowerPoint presentation, which guides students through the following step-by-step journey:
-Reflecting on and recalling knowledge that they already built about special words and stories in Christianity;
-Considering the words and phrases that are special to them in their lives;
-Reading the Lord’s Prayer and breaking down the key meanings, by identifying and then defining new and unfamiliar vocabulary;
-Answering comprehension questions about the key meanings of the prayer;
-Considering why the prayer is so important in Christianity;
-Creating their own prayers based on ideas that are important to them;
-Self-reflecting on the extent to which they feel they have met the learning objective.

This resource pack includes the comprehensive PowerPoint presentation (12 slides) and also a double-spaced copy of the prayer for annotation (in both 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.
