This is a unit of work I have planned, resourced and used from the Understanding Christianity scheme of work. This is ‘Gospel’ and it is aimed at Years 3 and 4.
This is a Powerpoint download of the following lessons:
Lesson 1: Engage with the idea of Gospel through parables
A focus on understanding what a parable is and this looks at The Thankful Leper and The Good Samaritan. This has a fill in the gaps task about The Good Samaritan.
Lesson 2: Enquire into the idea of Gospel
This focuses on understanding why Jesus told the story of The Good Samaritan and what it means to Christians to be a good samaritan. This has a diary entry writing task about The Good Samaritan.
Lesson 3: Explore ways in which Christians practice Gospel
This focuses on what Christians might do to be a good samaritan and live life how God and Jesus wanted. This looks directly into the charity Christian Aid and what some Christians dedicate their life to. This contains a drawing task.
Lesson 4: Evaluate how Christians can share God’s message
This lesson focuses on rich discussion and writing to answer questions about what kind of world God wants and what kind of world the children want and why. This then goes into an art focus of creating a piece of artwork to encourage others to be kind.
The last slide of this Powerpoint contains ways in which children can express their learning about kindness by suggesting activities they can do to show kindness.
