Learning and growing as the People of God:
Short-term Planning Unit I – Easter
Most children will know that the four Gospels contain accounts of the Resurrection of Christ. They will be able to understand the transforming effect this had upon the disciples. The children will know that the Ascension reminds Christians of the promise of Christ to remain always with them.
Less able children will be able to recall parts of the Resurrection story from some of the Gospels.
More able children will have a greater understanding of the importance of the Resurrection for Christians today and of their belief in the presence of Christ in the Church and in their lives.
