sml12sml12

Years 1-6 RE Christmas schemes of work

(0)
Each scheme of work has 3-5 lessons and they are all based around different big questions: Year 1 - Why is Christmas important to Christians? Year 2 - What are the Christian symbols of Christmas? Year 3 - Why are presents given at Christmas and what would Jesus think? Year 4 - How can artists help us to understand Christmas? Year 5 - Why is light an important sign at Christmas? Year 6 - What do the Gospels say about the birth of Jesus? Each unit builds upon the last, so the children build up the skills through AT1 and AT2 all the way to year 6 in which they are analysing the different Gospels. There are LIs, main input and main activities for each lesson.
