A Whole-School Cross-Curricular Focus Unit Based on RE
By Antonia Gwynn (Shipham CofE VC First School)
This unit begins with a Collective Worship session based on the letters of the word CREATION. How many words can children make from the word, 'CREATION'?
This can produce three spin-off areas, such as:
Each of these areas may then be set in the context of:
-
the six areas of enquiry;
-
coverage of religions; and
-
the scheme of work units in Awareness, Mystery and Value, together with suggestions for cross-curricular learning.
The Unit should be undertaken and discussed by a whole school so that the activities and ideas in each area can be shared out if necessary.
Each area has art, drama and dance activities which might contribute to a presentation at the end.
It is also suggested that prayers are also written in each area which could be used in a final Collective Worship.
This is not intended to be a ‘pick up and use’ plan. There are so many excellent resources, particularly on the internet, that only some of the possible sources and links are included.
