This lesson explicitly addresses racism that may have been happening in your school or class.
The learning objective is to understand what racism is.
The first slides focuses on what racism is and has a link to a child friendly youtube video to answer this question.
The next few slides focus on identity and how someone’s identity is who they are and many of these qualities you cannot change ie. skin colour, sexual orientation, likes, dislikes etc.
One of the slides addresses the fact that just because someone has a different preference or quality to you doesn’t mean it effects you personally. We are all different but that does not matter - we all have the same community and need to work together.
There is another link to a Youtube story ‘a kids book about racism’ by Jelani Memory.
We then look at WHY someone might grow up with racist views ie. parents, closed-minded etc.
We then discuss how you can be racist without realising ie. saying certain words or stereotyping.
We then look at quotes and we address why those comments are racist.
The next few slides show motivational posters to stop racism which are a discussion point.
I have attached Twinkl’s racism scenario cards which is what my class responded to in their books.

9 weeks worth of homework!
Each week consists of two sets - one for on track learners and one for ‘SEN’ learners. The SEN homework is slightly more visual and goes through the KS1 spellings. The on-track homework takes spellings from the Year 3/4 government spelling list.
The homework is intended to be printed double sided with a times table task on one side and spellings on the other.
The homework has the due date written on the top of the page which is due in on Fridays but this can easily be amended.

Here are Powerpoint slides of four lessons based on the planning from Understanding Christianity. This is aimed at Years 1 and 2.
In this unit there is a variety of activities such as creative art activities as well as a writing task. This is ready to download and teach.
The learning objectives for each lesson are as follows:
Pre-unit task objective: Ask questions about Incarnation
(engage)
Lesson 1:engage in the idea that Christians believe that Jesus is God and that he was born as a baby in Bethlehem.
In this session children will learn that Jesus is God in a different form. They will learn the Nativity story and how special it was that Jesus was coming. They will order the nativity story. They will then look at art work of the stable scene and create their own.
(enquire)
Lesson 2: enquire about how the Bible showed Jesus was extraordinary and that he came to bring good news.
Children will explore the Incarnation panel of the Big Frieze and see where the nativity story falls in the bigger picture of the Bible. Children will then reflect on how Mary would have felt when Angel Gabriel appeared to her to tell her the news. Children will write their own diary entry as Mary.
(explore)
Lesson 3: explore how Christians celebrate Jesus’s birth and that Advent is a time for Christians to get ready for Jesus’s birth.
Children will do a mindmap of Christmas and all of the traditions they know to do with Christmas. They will then watch a video all about Christmas traditions for Christians and learn what Advent is. Using this knowledge they will write an acrostic poem for ‘Advent’. Provided are Christian/Christmas related words of each letter in ‘advent’.
After this children have the chance to create a Christmas card (or winter card for those who do not want to participate) for someone in a care home in the hope that it brings joy, something Christians like to spread at Christmas.
Lesson 4: evaluate and express our learning on Incarnation.
Children will reflect on what they have learnt and answer 3 key questions about this topic.
Included:
The Powerpoint for the whole unit with all of the links required inside.
Sheets to be stuck into books for each session - each with a learning objective and explanation about what was taught in each session.
A cover page for the unit of work to go into books.
