This whole class reading session aims to develop children’s fluency and comprehension skills through reading about the final days of Jesus’ life. The non-fiction text that they read is adapted from a BBC Bitesize article about Jesus’ last days. The reading is followed by a series of activities aiming to develop children’s VIPERS skills: vocabulary, inference, prediction, explanation, retrieval, sequencing and summarising. It also contains a vocabulary check immediately after the extract is read to clarify any unfamiliar/ difficult language. The tasks are comprised of quick-check questions, solo thinking, pair/ group discussions and deeper thinking activities. The text to read is provided in both PDF and Word format. The session is best suited for children in upper KS2, however it could easily be used with KS3 students and could feasibly be utilised with slightly younger children, depending upon the individual context of your class.

This engaging and original assembly/ collective worship session aims to provide children with an understanding of the Saint Peter, particularly focusing on his him denying being an acquaintance of Jesus. It was originally delivered as the third in a series of three collective worship sessions on Saint Peter. The aims of the session are to consider: -The events of the Resurrection and Peter’s Restoration; -Peter’s role in spreading Christianity; -Lessons that we can apply to our own lives. The colourful and comprehensive presentation guides the worship leader and the children through the following journey: -Recalling prior knowledge about Saint Peter and establishing the basic information about who he was/ what he is known for; -Recalling how Peter had denied his acquaintance with Jesus; -Watching and comprehending an engaging, age-appropriate video (hyperlinked) which details Jesus’ resurrection and appearance to Peter; -Considering how Peter worked to redeem himself after Jesus had ascended to heaven; -Reflecting on our own spirituality - thinking about times when we let people down - how can we redeem ourselves? -Participating in related song and prayer. This worship session is tried and tested, and has always been really well received in the past. The slides are visually engaging and well-presented, and the subject matter is tailored to the interests and needs of young people. If everything is kept in, it takes around 30 minutes to deliver, but you may choose to edit or amend some elements of the session. The script is provided and links to videos and hymns are included in the PowerPoint as hyperlinks. No further resources are required - everything that you need to present the session is included!
