R.E-Year 1- Myself Unit (6 lessons)

6 lesson plans with resource sheets

About this unit:
As we learn about other people, what makes them tick and how they live their lives, we need to consider ourselves and how we experience things. This gives us a confident base from which to explore.

This unit encourages people to:
• think about how they were welcomed into the
world
• talk about things that they like
• consider who they belong to
• know about events in their lives
• consider their feelings
• celebrate these events and feelings creatively.

This unit sets the tone for RE in Year 1: a time for sharing thoughts and feelings in a supportive, trusting atmosphere where we are not afraid to say what we think.

Lesson length: Each lesson is designed to take one
hour.

Expectations

• be able to express what they feel about
themselves with confidence.

Some children will have made less progress and will:
• need support expressing their thoughts.

Some children will have progressed further and will:

themselves with confidence and understand
enough about others to sum up their thoughts
too.
