KS1 RE - Special Words and Stories Lesson Bundle!

These engaging and informative lessons develop children’s understanding of the Bible, the Megillat Esther, and the Guru Granth Sahib, as special books of the Christian, Jewish and Sikh faiths respectively. Children learn key facts about the books, important information about stories that these books contain, and how the books are treated by worshippers. Furthermore, they consider their own personal spirituality, considering the stories and books that are special to them.

The are six lessons included, which should be taught in the following order:

1. The Bible
2. Personal Beliefs
3. The Lord’s Prayer
4. The Megillat Esther
5. The Guru Granth Sahib
6. Comparing Special Books

In each lesson, the learning is guided by a clear and colourful PowerPoint presentation, which guides students through a step-by-step learning journey. There are also all of the reading and worksheets included - everything that you need to teach the lessons.

In the past, I have used these lessons with children from across Key Stage 1 - the key learning is aligned with curriculum expectations for RE, and also the content prescribed by most diocese regions. All images are licensed for commercial use.
