This lesson explores more deeply one of the five pillars discussed in the last lesson: prayer or salah. Islamic prayer takes place five times a day, each time taking about ten minutes. These compulsory prayers help Muslims keep God at the front of their thoughts and keep them from doing bad deeds. Other prayers also take place at any time and these are called du’a and are often more personal prayers. The thinking skills strategy of fact or opinion will be used in this lesson. This strategy is used when material is controversial, such as the idea of a religious belief. It encourages people to think about what is a fact, a belief or an opinion. Learning objective Learning about: • To understand the importance of regular prayer in a Muslim’s life; and to understand the beliefs that teach the importance of regular prayer. Learning from: • To understand that what is truth to one religion, may be considered to be an opinion to another group of people.

Get all the lessons and plans from our full unit, available in our TES shop This unit links to the lives of significant individuals in the past who have contributed to national and international achievements in the Programme of Study and considers the key historical enquiry question, How do we find out about Florence Nightingale? It introduces the children to the idea of historical sources, introduces the concepts of old and new, and encourages them to think about the life and times of a famous person. The approach used could be applied to the study of other famous people. It provides a wide range of opportunities for children to develop their spoken language. It is helpful if the children have: ordered events in time and used everyday terms about the passing of time; answered questions about people/ events in the past using pictures and written sources; recounted episodes from stories about the past; looked for similarities and differences between today and the past.

There are many other commercially produced schemes available. LCP Phonics Planning is a planning tool for teachers who are teaching phonics using the Letters and Sounds document from the DfE. It is a guide and should be used with flexibility and at a pace which is appropriate to each group or class. Objectives and criteria for success: Teach new graphemes for reading (p134) ay ou ie. Teach the rules for spelling words containing these digraphs. (Appendix 6). Teach reading the tricky word people (p140) and decodable words house, about (p141). Teach reading and spelling compound words. (Appendix 7). Practise reading and spelling high frequency words (p141/p148). Leave a review
