Thank you for using this resource. We hope it helps you, and your pupils! This advice may help.
PowerPoints cover more than one lesson
The PowerPoint presentation matches a section in the planning provided for this unit of work. This is likely to contain material for more than one lesson. It is important not to speed through the slides without completing suggested activities or discussion. Most sections in the planning, and the matching PowerPoints, will cover two lessons. In particular, you may wish to spend one lesson looking carefully at the story and its meaning, and another with discussion, acting it out and follow up.
Please make sure you prepare and plan with staff
It is critical that delivery, style and speed reflect the needs and responses of pupils. The resource has been designed to support teachers, not to replace you! If this resource is provided as supporting material for HLTAs, cover teachers or non-specialists please ensure you prepare them carefully and plan with them.
We recommend you use the detailed planning as well as this PowerPoint
This PowerPoint is designed to be used with the detailed planning written to support the RE syllabus ‘Believing and Belonging’. We strongly recommend that you use the PowerPoint in conjunction with the planning. Please ask us how to access this if you do not have it.

About this unit: This is a Pathway 1 unit, looking at the nature of religion and belief. In this unit pupils will learn about what it means to belong to a community, including a religious community. They will learn what they might see in a religious building, and what people do when they go there. They will begin to understand that there are similarities and differences between places of worship, within and between faith communities. They will learn that places of worship are sacred places for the people who go there.
Where this presentation fits: This Pathway 1 presentation is the first of the unit. Pupils begin by considering what it means to belong and are then introduced to how symbols have meaning. The final part of this lesson moves on to explore symbols of faith.
Points to note: The teacher should spend some time exploring with pupils how symbols have meanings, using familiar ones to start with. This is an important precursor to the exploration of religious symbolism.
Enrichment ideas: Outdoor learning - Design a prayer flag with logo/symbols to represent your group. Use it to decorate an area outside.
Resources needed: A4 paper for the tasks on slides 11 and 14.
Further lesson notes and additional ideas may be found in the notes section of some slides (normal or presenter view). Notes for teachers<br>

How this presentation links to the pathway:
This presentation encourages the pupils to talk about what it means to belong to a community, including a religious community. Key Stage 1
Through investigating the Nature of Religion and Belief, pupils should learn that:
We are surrounded by distinctive things that are very important. Some of these are called ‘precious’, 'sacred' or 'holy'.
People belonging to the same religion/worldview may have different 'holy' or important things and express their beliefs in different ways. Pathway 1: The Nature of Religion and Belief<br>
