This resource contains the key information about Holy Week. I have included some clips, embedded into the slides, from Jesus Christ Superstar to jazz things up a little and there is an accompanying differentiated worksheet to allow the class to familiarise themselves with Bible references. Please review as I have lots mroe to share. Enjoy :)
A revision resource for the OCR Ethics papers B603 and B604: Medical ethics, Peace and justice, Human relationships and equality. Two booklets with revision activities for students to use in preparation for their exams. NOTE: THIS NEW VERSION NOW CONTAINS EQUALITY AND THE DUPLICATE MEDICAL ETHICS HAS BEEN REMOVED.
A PowerPoint containing the history, meaning of and importance of the Eucharist for CATHOLICS. This is specifically made for the Catholic curriculum and focuses on Catholic teachings based on the theological roots of Communion. I use this with my top set Year 8s but this could easily be transferred to Y9 and KS4.
I have created a Sow for the study of Sikhism for KS3, and have included other resources: Homework 'menu' x2, Key word glossary, and a PLC (personal learning checklist using the red/amber/green system). Please do rate and leave feedback :)
This is a lesson for KS3 RE, and it is aimed at trying to encourage independent learning. This is an interactive lessons, in which discussion are had about Jesus' ancestors and where in the world he came from, as well as introducing students to the concept of a 'prophecy' and the prophecies of Jesus' birth. Students then have to read 2 accounts of Jesus' birth from the gospels, and compare and contrast them using a Venn diagram to record their ideas. There is also an evaluation question about whether Christmas has lost it's real meaning. Please rate and leave feedback :) Many thanks.
A draft Scheme of work for the new AQA 9-1 Religious Studies - Year 10 (3 yr KS4). This is based on three lessons a fortnight, across a 3 year key stage 4. This might be helpful for those trying to navigate through the new specification. This is the Islam section.
This is a PowerPoint presentation to teach students about the papacy and the process of papal elections. I made this in response to some questions from my year 7's and thought it would tie in nicely with what&'s happening in the Catholic Church at the moment. This would also be useful for Christianity modules and, in particular, when studying Catholicism. Please leave feedback so I can improve my resources. Thank you :)
Part of the Christian Practices paper for AQA GCSE Religious Studies A course. This resource is designed to be delivered as a revision session, in preparation for the upcoming GCSE exams. I will be delivering this to large numbers of students, lecture style, and will be giving students a copy of the slides for them to annotate as I talk.

This is an assessment that could be used with KS3 students which assesses their knowledge and understanding of the 5 pillars. This can also be used as a way of beginning to break ties with the levels, and rather linking to specific skills based on Bloom's taxonomy, Could also be used to self or peer assess. Please rate and leave feedback. Many thanks :)
The story of Sukkot and how it is celebrated in a PowerPoint. Contains activities and key questions as well as key words. Pleas review as I have lots of other resources to share. Enjoy :)
This is a PowerPoint for use in a GCSE RS lesson, specifically about euthanasia. We follow (at the moment) OCR GCSE RS Spec B, but this could be used with any specification which involves the study of ethics within medicine. This PowerPoint includes interactive discussions, 3 video clips to spark discussion and debate (see 'notes' section of each slide), and an exam style question - which is then broken down into a WAGOLL and highlighted into PEE (Point, Evidence, Explanation). Please create and leave feedback :) Many thanks.
This is used by my department as a 'transition unit' for new Year 7s. It is centred around the theme of 'journeys', and explores Abraham's journey from Ur to Canaan, and some of the problems he encountered. It encouraged students to think about their own journeys to secondary school, and beyond. Baseline assessment and video questions included.
This is a PowerPoint which directs students to undertake a carousel activity. The objectives for the lesson have been broken down into target levels, following the new 1-9 GCSE system. The worksheets have on them the Bible stories of 7 key events in Jesus' life: Jesus is lost in the temple, Jesus is tempted, The triumphal entry into Jerusalem, Jesus calms a storm, Jesus' baptism, The wedding at Canaa, and The Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount. Students have to work their way around each story, read it, summarise it, and then answer one of 2 evaluation questions about the significance of that event in Jesus' life. The conclusion activity involves a diamond 9 exercise, and an exam style evaluation question - which is broken down into helpful sentence starters and structure. One of the slides refers to a 'sheet', but you can just ask students to make notes in their exercise books. Please comment and leave feedback :)
This is a lesson designed to introduce students to the split between Sunni and Shia Islam, as well as some of the key differences and similarities between them in everyday life and practices. This lesson has a key word and exam question focus, following the AQA GCSE 9-1 specification. I have included a 4 mark (part C) exam question, along with guidance about how to answer it and a WAGOLL for students to annotate and compare their answers to. I have created this for Yr8 (as we sit our GCSE RS in Year 10), but can easily be adapted and used for KS4 as it is a useful intro to one of the key Islamic concepts. There is also an accompanying website as one of the slide leads to an external BBC link, which can be used in the classroom to explore 5 different aspects of Muslim life and practices. Students can compete it as you work through. Please do leave feedback :)
