The learning objectives for each lesson are as follows: Lesson 1: Engage in the idea that God created the universe. This starts off with the children completing a key word writing activity where they write 5 of the unit’s key words 3 times. The teacher and children then discuss what they know about Creation so far and start writing down some questions they would like to find out. The teacher then goes through the Powerpoint which tells the story of Creation. The activity is to complete a storyboard of the Creation story. This lesson may take 2 sessions of learning. Lesson 2: Explore the big frieze Creation panel Here children will explore the order of the Bible and see that Creation comes first. They will explore the Big Frieze that comes with Understanding Christianity which are large images representing each part of the Bible. Children will explore the Creation image looking at it carefully and seeing what they spot. After this, children will create their own panel image to represent Creation. Place all of the images together to take a picture for display and their books. Lesson 3: Explore that God has a unique relationship with human beings. Building on learning from the last session, children will create their own Lego creations and understand how it feels to have some of it broken. They will learn how God may feel when people don’t look after the Earth. Children will discuss key questions at the end of the lesson. Lesson 4: Understand how Christians look after God’s creation. The class will come up with a brain shower of all the ideas they can think of to look after the Earth. There is a video to watch here to support this lesson.

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.
