RE in Year 5

Religious Education

Christianity is at the very heart of our Religious Education, but children are also taught how to respect and understand the religious beliefs of others.

Our non-Christian faith this year is Buddhism

In Year 5 we will look at the beliefs of Buddhist people to getter a better understanding of their religion and religious practices

Unit 1: The Bible

How and why do Christians read the Bible?

Christian Concepts

God – Creation – Fall – People of God – Incarnation – Gospel – Salvation – Kingdom of God

This unit doesn’t particularly emphasise any of the concepts in great depth as it explores the Bible as a whole book and as the source of Christian belief and teaching. This unit builds on knowledge and understanding developed in unit 2.1

The aim of this unit is to:

deepen children’s understanding of the importance and impact of the contents of the Bible in the lives of Christians.
to develop further children’s understanding of the significance of holy books in the lives of the people of all world faiths.
