1B - RE - Which place of worship is sacred for Christians?
Lesson: Religious education
The children have been exploring key areas of the church and artefacts, look at these and ask them to consider why they might be important for believers. They have looked at why an altar, cross or crucifix, Lord’s Table, bread, wine, bible, font, lectern and candles are important in a church.
The children had the oppertunity to work in groups to commplete a jigsaw containing information about the artefacts that they will find in a church and why it is important. Once they have completed the jigsaws, they had to share it with the class and tell them what each artefact is for and what it is important to believers.
Christian believer visiting Year 1 on Friday 05.05.22
The children then had to think about questions they might ask a believer about why a church is important to them. In smaller groups they had to carefully consider questions that they might ask of a believer. They brought their suggestions back to the carpet and as a class we shortlisted the best questions. They are very excited to meet our Christian visitor this Friday and to ask her their questions.
