The main focus is on Islam but Christianity is included when comparing religious attitudes to Holy Wars. Further focus is given to how war should be fought, how war should end and Islamic Just War theory. A homework is set with a choice of tasks and exam questions set at different levels of challenge. All of the learning is supported by a word doc template for students to make notes and use as a 'safety net'.

A powerpoint which quickly and simply teaches the eight conditions for Just War. This includes debate (a clip) focusing on whether Christians should be pacifists.

The lesson is completed with a 12 mark questions that requires a little bit of thought and reflection. References to scripture and key words are also included.

The resources included are a ppt and a word doc.

There is a specific reference to Darfur as the example for how a real war can start. The ppt also summarises key words and religious teachings from the AQA textbook.

An assembly to celebrate and explain All Hallows or All Saints day 1st November. The assembly explains the word ‘hallow’ and the meaning of a ‘saint’. At the end the challenge is: How are you going to be a saint this week? It also touches on, and explains the meaning and origin of ‘Halloween’ but doesn’t dwell on that aspect. As always, the assembly is topped and tailed with a liturgical routine which can be omitted or retained.

This assembly focuses on the value ‘service’. It begins with a series of questions challenging the children to think about how well they ‘share’. The assembly moves on to the story of the Feeding of the Five Thousand. A script is prepared for children to read in three parts. The assembly ends with children being challenged: Nothing is too small to be shared. Whatever we have to share can make a difference to those around us. Nothing is too small to be shared with others. Ask each of these questions in turn, giving the children time to consider their response. As always, the assembly begins and ends with a words and prayers to be led by the children.

This is another ‘Service’ theme assembly which focuses on the ways different services help people such as nursing and the police. However, the assembly begins with phenomena in nature where animals help each other and provide ‘services’ such as Plover birds and crocodiles. The assembly then focuses on the story of the lion and the mouse which can be read by children. The final section is a challenge toStop and think. How can we be helpful to others? Today - what can I do for others today? As always, the assembly is topped and tailed with words and prayers which can be led by the children.
