KS2 RE - Exploring Islam in Britain.

The following unit of work is planned around the over-arching “Big Question” of “What does it mean to be a Muslim in Britain today?” The planning focuses on an explorative approach, with children learning about the key components of Islam, whilst also comparing, contrasting and exploring their own faith.

Links to P4C are established throughout and help towards meeting the British Values.

These lessons have been planned by an experienced KS2 teacher, and RE Lead, who has been trained by the Manchester SACRE.

All lesson presentations and resources are included, making this the perfect pack to just pick up and teach. Subject knowledge is supported with thorough presentation notes which support the class teacher in delivering the content to an exceptionally high standard.

In addition, optional reading tasks are included at the beginning of each lesson, focused upon the story of Bilal.

Within the pack, there are four lessons, as well as the opportunity to spend a lesson on a whole-class discussion, taking part in extended writing and answering the over-arching “Biq Question” based upon the learning that has taken place. This is an exceptional assessment tool that will support not only RE, but also Literacy and Speaking & Listening.

The different lessons focus on the following themes:

1. What helps you through the journey of life? What helps some Muslims through the journey of life?
2. What is the key belief of Muslims and how does this affect their lives?
3. How does the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) inspire some people in life?
4. Why might prayer be important to different people, including Muslims?
