In this engaging lesson, students develop their understanding of the Bible, and why it is special to Christians. They also consider the words and stories that are meaningful to themselves. It was originally taught as a part of an RE unit on ‘Special Words and Stories.’
The learning is guided by a clear and colourful PowerPoint presentation, which guides students through the following step-by-step journey:
-Thinking about which stories are meaningful to them, and why they hold special meaning;
-Introducing children to the Bible, and developing their understanding about who it was written by, how it is structured, and the different types of writing that we can be found within it;
-Understanding why the Bible is special to Christians, including reflecting on a child-friendly version of The Good Samaritan, to demonstrate how Bible stories teach Christians important messages;
-Completing a plenary activity to assess their understanding;
-Self-reflecting on the extent to which they feel they have met the learning objective.
This resource pack includes the comprehensive PowerPoint presentation (15 slides) and the hyperlinks to the video resource in the development activity. There is everything that you need here to teach the lesson.
In the past, I have used this lesson 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.
