1 YEAR 2 Unit B2 - Easter Teacher's note: Enfield Agreed Syllabus KS1 Christianity programme of study: This unit is part of a scheme of work designed to deliver the Agreed Syllabus. The teaching objectives and learning outcomes are based on Agreed Syllabus level descriptions which are nationally agreed. Teaching and learning activities plan for the two attainment targets for religious education - learning about and learning from religion. The planning promotes the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of all pupils whether or not they are from a religious tradition. On the right of this page is the full KS1 Christianity programme of study from the Agreed Syllabus. The material picked out in bold features in this unit. Within each unit some of the content picked out in bold is a major focus, other content is a minor focus. A minor focus, and material alluded to by the teacher in one unit, will normally be revisited more fully in other units during the key stage. Model individual, paired, group and whole class activities and tasks are included in the planning which teachers will need to adapt and differentiate to meet pupil needs explore Bible stories of the birth of Jesus which teach the Christian belief that Jesus is God s Son explore Bible narratives of Jesus death and resurrection, understood by Christians as an offer of forgiveness and new life explore how Christians prepare for Christmas and how at Christmas time they re-tell the birth of Jesus and teach Christians about God and Jesus Christ explore how Christian traditions at Easter re-tell the death and resurrection of Jesus and teach Christians about God and Jesus Christ explore how baptism and infant dedication express the hope that children will grow up to follow the teaching and example of Jesus and to make the Christian faith their own explore how the traditions of Christian Harvest Festival express Christian beliefs about, and responses to, God as Creator eg. thankfulness and sharing with others explore some of the ways in which children learn about their faith by growing up in a Christian home eg by worshipping together on Sunday and on other days, reading and studying the Bible, listening to stories, singing & praying explore how belonging to the Christian family means living in the way Jesus taught, in relation to God and to others, eg the poor and those in need explore how local leaders of Christian communities (eg priests, ministers, elders) teach about Jesus and belonging to the Christian family explore how Christian songs and prayers, pictures and icons re-tell events from the life of Jesus and express beliefs about God explore how the symbols of light, used by Christians at and preparing for Christmas, express their belief that Jesus is the light of the world explore how the symbols of baptism (eg. water, light, the sign of the cross and the colour of baptism clothing) mark a new beginning in the Christian family explore how the symbols of Easter (eg. palms, crosses, eggs, hot cross buns, and colours associated with Lent and Easter), remind Christians of Easter events and the theme of forgiveness and new life Y2 B2 Easter Page 1 of 11

2 LEARNING OBJECTIVES Children should learn: The story of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus That Christians believe that Jesus was raised back to life LEARNING OUTCOMES I can: tell the story of the death of Jesus say that Christians believe that he came back to life again TEACHING ACTIVITIES SESSION 1 Y2 B2 Easter Page 2 of 11 What do Christians What the believe story happened of Good Friday on Good and Friday Easter? and Easter? This session aims to cover the facts of the whole story. The video clip tells its outline; some of the additional details and their significance for Christians will be explored using the Bible text. The next session unpacks the foundational significance for Christians of Good Friday. There is possibly too much material here for a single lesson, so teachers may want to select only one or two passages, or to use some as extension material. If I were to ask you to tell me what you did yesterday, what would you include? Tell the start of your own day, including much too much detail, eg the order in which you put your clothes on, the time of every detail, exactly what you had for breakfast etc so that it is very boring. The point is that history is selective; different people will have reasons for including certain details of their story. The video clip you are going to see is a selection of the details in the four versions of the story of Good Friday and Easter which appear in the Christian Bible. We are going to watch it, and work out what the most important points of the story and then you can be detectives to see if you can spot what the film maker has left out of the stories in the Bible. Watch Pathways of Belief: The story of Easter (3:09) You could use cut-out pictures or statements for the children to identify and then sequence: Jesus is arrested; Jesus is crucified; his body is put into a stone tomb.; Three days later the stone door is rolled open; Jesus' body has disappeared; Christians believe Jesus is alive. If you also do this on the board or as the foundation of a permanent display, you can add the details the children spot during the next exercise. It may be that children ask about the crown of thorns; this detail is explained in the second Bible passage below. Now you need to be detectives. As I read the story from the Bible, put up your hand when you hear an extra detail which we haven t yet heard. (An alternative is to have some extra sequencing pictures which they have to add to their story line in the appropriate places Examples are at the end of this document.) Read Mark:14:40-52 (details to note could include: betrayal with a kiss; cutting off the servant s ear (NB in Luke 22:51 we hear that he healed the man); the young man in the cloth (this seemingly irrelevant but eyewitness detail is understood to be the experience of the author, Mark). Point out that you are now going to skip some of the story, and pick it up again at the end of the trial before the Roman governor, Pilate: Read Mark 15:12-39 (details to note could include: Jesus was innocent; the soldiers mockery; the conscription of Simon of Cyrene; the inscription; the two robbers; darkness over the land; curtain temple torn in two; witnesses to the crucifixion) Again you may need to explain that some of the details will be explored more in subsequent lessons; in particular the darkness and the curtain temple tearing. Read Mark 15:42-16:8 (details to note include: Joseph asking for the body; the young man (identified in other gospels as an angel) who tells them Jesus is alive). We have seen that when we tell stories we may include or leave out details depending on how long we have got to tell the story, and how important we think those details are. You can now tell the Bible story of Good Friday and Easter which are the most important details? The Bible has four people s stories of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, which have other details. In the next session we will look more closely at why Christians believe they are important. POINTS TO NOTE Resources: There is an RE Today booklet available for purchase from Opening Up Easter that has some very creative activities. Bible Gateway has many translations of the Bible; the Easy-to-read Version (ERV) is recommended: Pathways of Belief: The story of Easter (3:09) Jesus is arrested, crucified, and his body is put into a stone tomb. Three days later the stone door is rolled open and Jesus' body has disappeared. A brief, self-contained story featuring rich visual imagery of the location. Teachers should tell the class that: this unit is concerned with developing knowledge and understanding of Easter and what those events mean to Christians. Muslims do not share the Christian belief that Jesus died and rose again. It is important that children know that these beliefs are based on their respective holy books and are different, and they respect people who hold each belief. It is also important that anti-semitism is avoided when telling the story of the death of Jesus. Jesus himself was a Jew, as were most of his followers. Jews and non-jews were involved on both sides. People opposed Jesus for a variety of reasons: racial hatred was not one of them. Christians call the Friday on which Jesus died Good Friday because they believe that Jesus s death brought a good thing: that people can be forgiven for their sins and be friends with God. Jesus s death was sad and painful and made even worse by the separation from God the Father which is symbolised by the darkness of the sky - but he said it was necessary. Christians believe that the resurrection is proof that Jesus death achieved what he said it would: the forgiveness of sins for those who believe in him. The final verses of Mark s gospel are thought to have been added by a later author, but they summarise details found in the other gospels, including the disciples initial disbelief but then Jesus s many appearances to them which convinced them of his resurrection as a real, solid person, even if he was somehow able to appear and disappear in miraculous ways. It is important to correct the impression given by the video that Christian belief in the resurrection is just based on the empty tomb.

3 What do Christians believe is the significance of what happened on Good Friday? LEARNING OBJECTIVES Children should learn: That Christians believe that the wrong things we do spoil our relationship with God That Christians call this sin, and believe that it must be punished That Christians believe that when Jesus died he took the punishment for their sin, so they can be forgiven The centrality of the symbol of the cross LEARNING OUTCOMES I can: talk about how difficult it is always to be good describe what Christians call sin say that Christians believe they are forgiven because Jesus took the punishment for their sin That this is why they call it Good Friday say why the cross is the Christian symbol TEACHING ACTIVITIES SESSION 2 Talk about rules; at school, at home, rules of the road, laws. Write some of them on the board. What rules can you think of? Why do we have rules? Can you think of a time when you were told off for breaking a rule or doing something wrong? What should be done if someone does something wrong? What sorts of punishments can you think of which relate to the rules we have discussed? You may be familiar with the concept of time out separating people who do wrong things from the rest of the group. Christians believe that people should live the way God wants, but everyone ignores God and his rules and want to live their own way. They call this sin, and believe that Sin separates people from God. (a mnemonic some Christians use is SIN= Shove off, God; I m in charge, No to your rules ) Group Activity: Take a clean T-shirt and invite the children to scribble on it with marker pens to represent the bad things people do. It can be cut and torn, mud rubbed in to it etc. Imagine that every mark on this T-shirt represents the bad things people do, which Christians call sin. A person wearing this would look pretty bad. (a volunteer may want to wear or hold it) Bring out the clean T-shirt. Christians believe that Jesus never did anything wrong. This clean T-shirt represents Jesus. (a volunteer may want to wear or hold it). Christians believe that when Jesus died on the cross, he took the punishment for their sin. (the two volunteers swap T-shirts) Good Friday was the day when Jesus stood trial before the Priests and later a Roman Governor called Pilate, as we heard in the previous session. Although Pilate could not find any wrong in Jesus, he was still sentenced to death by crucifixion. Later that day after having been beaten and mocked Jesus was crucified. Read Luke 23:32-46 Christians believe that sin separates people from God, but that when Jesus died on the cross, he took the punishment for their sin. That meant that he was separated from God which in the story was shown by the sky going black but Christians believe that it means they can be forgiven. Why do you think Christians call the day Jesus died Good Friday? Imagine you have been punished for doing something wrong at home, but afterwards you are hugged and welcomed back into the family. How do you feel when you are forgiven? Group activities: Make a collage display to illustrate what Christians believe about Good Friday. Sections of the display to work on could include: Illustration of rules, and that ignoring God s rules is what Christians call sin. The two T-shirts, with a cross between the two, and an explanation beneath each of what they represent Explanation of why Good Friday is Good : Thought bubbles of what it feels like to be forgiven Cut and share hot cross buns. Christians traditionally eat these on Good Friday. What is the shape on top? Why a cross? POINTS TO NOTE Resources: Two white t-shirts, one of which will be ruined! Bible Gateway has many translations of the Bible; the Easy-to-read Version (ERV) is recommended: Teachers should tell the class that: this unit is concerned with developing knowledge and understanding of Easter and what those events mean to Christians. Muslims do not share the Christian belief that Jesus died and rose again. It is important that children know that these beliefs are based on their respective holy books and are different, and they respect people who hold each belief. It is also important that anti-semitism is avoided when telling the story of the death of Jesus. Jesus himself was a Jew, as were most of his followers. Jews and non-jews were involved on both sides.

Christians believe that the resurrection is proof that Jesus death achieved what he said it would: the forgiveness of sins for those who believe in him. Y2 B2 Easter Page 3 of 11

4 LEARNING OBJECTIVES Children should learn: for Christians Easter is a time of hope, forgiveness, new beginnings and new life symbols and music help many Christians to remember Jesus and the first Easter Christians believe that Jesus died as a punishment for their sin but that he came back to life on Easter day. Christians worship together on Sundays because of Easter day being a Sunday. LEARNING OUTCOMES I can: retell the Christian story of Easter talk sensitively about why Easter is a time of celebration for Christians and how they celebrate using music and symbols say that Christians meet for worship on Sundays because of Easter day being a Sunday TEACHING ACTIVITIES SESSION 3 What do Christians believe happened on Easter Day? Play some Christian sad music and some happy music (see Resources for some suggestions). How does the music make you feel? Read the Easter story up to the crucifixion to the class: Sunshine Books Easter, or recap by asking the children what they can remember. What is the ending in this story? This account of the death of Jesus is found in the Christian Bible. The Bible says that when Jesus died the sky went dark. Remembering what we said in the last session about punishment, what do you think this might mean to Christians? How do you think Jesus s friends and family felt when he died? How does the story of Jesus s death make Christians feel? What is the ending in this story? Read the rest of the Easter story from the book or from Matthew 27:57-28:10. Why do Christians have a celebration at Easter? Why are they happy? Is Jesus s death the ending of the story for Christians? The Bible story says this happened on the first day of the week. Which is the first day? What do many Christians usually do on Sundays? Why do you think they do that? Show a Salvadoran cross telling the Easter story. What about this symbol shows a happy story or a sad one? Who can tell me one of the ways Christians celebrate Easter? Do you know why they use a symbol of an egg? There are several possible interpretations: Show a box of eggs, and a picture of a chick hatching out. Does the egg look alive? Yet out of an egg comes a new life. Christians believe that Jesus came back to life, and that they can have a new life because of being forgiven. That is why some eggs are solid ; filled with good things. The children will know that some easter eggs are empty. What in the Easter story was empty? The empty egg reminds Christians of the empty tomb. Show the Pathways of Belief clip: Good Friday and Easter eggs (1:11) The clip opens with the question, 'why do Christians call such a sad day Good Friday?' Two presenters briefly explain the events of Good Friday and the empty tomb, illustrated by actors depicting the scene. The symbol of the egg at Easter is then explained as a reminder of the stone which was rolled away. Individual activity: Children design a card to send to a Christian family. They should choose appropriate Christian symbols to reflect the sad/happy feelings of Christians during this time and which help to tell the story. Inside they should write a greeting showing that for Christians this is a time of forgiveness and new life. POINTS TO NOTE Christians call the Friday on which Jesus died Good Friday because they believe that Jesus s death brought a good thing: that people can be forgiven for their sins and be friends with God. Jesus s death was sad and painful and made even worse by the separation from God the Father which is symbolised by the darkness of the sky - but he said it was necessary. Christians believe that when he died, he was being punished for the sins of the world. They also believe that the resurrection is proof that Jesus death achieved what he said it would: the forgiveness of sins for those who believe in him. The first Christians called Sunday the Lord s Day because of the resurrection. It took over from the Jewish Sabbath as the day on which they met for worship. Resources: Christian examples of Sad/happy music: Matt Redman Once again is a reflection on the cross Tim Hughes Happy Day Keith & Kirstin Getty In Christ Alone tells the story and some of what it means for Christians: Hallelujah chorus from Handel s Messiah is a traditional work at this time (the Royal Choral Society has performed Messiah at the Royal Albert Hall on Good Friday every year since 1878): The Story of Easter Sunshine Books - Religious Stories Publ Heinemann ISBN is a searchable online Bible with many translations. The Easy-to-Read Version (ERV) is recommended. Y2 B2 Easter Page 4 of 11

5 LEARNING OBJECTIVES Children should learn that: how objects can help people recall memories in their lives people have a mixture of sad and happy memories artefacts help religious people to recall special times and events some objects help Christians recall events from the life of Jesus, in particular the cross LEARNING OUTCOMES I can: talk about how artefacts help people recall times and events reflect on sad and happy times in my own life and objects which recall these memories recognise some Christian artefacts associated with Easter relate those artefacts to the story of Jesus at Easter TEACHING ACTIVITIES SESSION 4 What things remind Christians of the story and meaning of Easter? [Optional introduction (if not needing the time to do the egg decorating activity): Read the story: Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge. This is a story which explores memories and how artefacts can bring people s memories alive again for them. The teacher might have a collection of the artefacts to hold as they are mentioned in the story: shell, bird s egg, puppet on strings, medal, football. These could be displayed afterwards. Why was Nancy Alison Delacourt Cooper called poor old thing? How did Wilfrid Gordon help to bring back her memories? What sort of memories did she have then?] Introduction: The teacher shows the class a small collection of his/her own artefacts (special things) which help to bring back memories. What memories have you got that make you laugh? Have you got any memories that make you cry? Individual activity: Children identify an object and explain how it reminds them of a happy or sad time. Plenary: The teacher introduces some artefacts which Christians use to remind them of the story and meaning of Easter eg: Hot cross bun, egg, palm cross, Easter card, icon, crucifix, Bible (which tells the story of Jesus). What part of the Easter story do each of these remind Christians of? Is it a happy part of the story, or a sad part? Why? Activity: Decorating eggs is a traditional activity in many parts of the world. There are some ways to do this under the Resources links. As a conclusion to summarise learning, tell the children that they are going to watch a 2-minute video of Christian children talking about what Easter means for them, and they should try to think what additional things they have learned: video download: Q4: Why is the cross special to Christians? KS1 POINTS TO NOTE Resources: Story - Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge Author - Mem Fox Publ Picture Puffins ISBN Egg decorating ideas: Teachers Notes: Christians call the Friday on which Jesus died Good Friday because they believe that Jesus s death brought a good thing: that people can be forgiven for their sins and be friends with God. Jesus s death was sad and painful - quite apart from the separation from God the Father which is symbolised by the darkness of the sky - but he said it was necessary. Christians believe that the resurrection is proof that Jesus death achieved what he said it would: the forgiveness of sins for those who believe in him. Easter eggs are both reminders of the stone over the tomb which, like many Easter eggs, was empty. They are also a symbol of new life, which Christians believe Jesus promises for those who believe in him. The crucifixes in catholic and orthodox churches usually depict the dying Christ. Protestant churches often use a plain cross (without the body) to emphasise their belief in the risen Christ; that he did not stay dead. Y2 B2 Easter Page 5 of 11

6 LEARNING OBJECTIVES Children should learn that: those who have died are kept alive through the memories people have of them in the world around us there are endings followed by new beginnings in most religions there is a belief that there is life after death Christians believe that death is not the end Learning Outcomes: I can: talk sensitively about how some people remember someone after they have died describe patterns in life involving beginnings and endings realise that experiences of bereavement are painful and difficult for people say that Christians believe that death is not the end TEACHING ACTIVITIES SESSION 5 What do Christians believe about death? POINTS TO NOTE Resources: Show video: Watch, Festivals and Celebrations - Endings (Extract 1) Pause after the story of Granny May. Why was Alma sad? What did Alma remember about Granny May? What helped Alma to feel happier again? What helps Alma to keep Granny May alive in her heart? Return to the video and show Adjua talking to the curate in the cemetery (Extract 2). Stop at the end of that clip. Why was Ann putting flowers on the grave? Why do people write things on the gravestones of people who have died? What do some people believe happens after they die? What helps us to remember people after they have died? Has anyone you know or love died recently? What helps you to keep their memory alive? The last clip shows a montage of endings (Extract 3). Before playing the video, ask the children to watch carefully so that afterwards the class can make a list of the different endings they saw. (Stop the video finally after the burned out candles and before the St Patrick s Day sequence.) What are some of the endings we saw on the video: the end of a tunnel, the end of a dandelion, a house knocked down, the end of a book, the end of the day, the end of a play or performance, the end of a race, the end of a TV programme, the end of a party, the end of a journey, the end of a phonecall, the end of a life (funeral), flowers blooming and then dying, candles alight and then burning down to nothing. How did some of those endings make you feel? At the beginning of the programme, Adjua says one road ends but just around the corner another begins. Can you think of any new beginnings that may happen after some of the endings we saw? dandelion seeds float away on the wind and somewhere a new plant will grow, at the end of the day we rest and then another new day begins, at the end of a play the performers have a rest and then start to rehearse something new. Children make an endings and new beginnings book. Children complete the first box with a caption to explain the picture. In the second box they write about what the ending is likely to be. In the third box they describe a possible new beginning. More able children will not need the picture cue in the first box but can make up their own sequences from ideas given in the video or their own knowledge of cycles of life, death and new life eg the seasons. Earlier we heard about when Jesus died on the cross. How do you think Jesus friends felt? They didn t know or understand the end of the story then; but later when they met Jesus again they came to believe that death was not the end for him, and that it will not be the end for those who believe in him. At the end of their endings and new beginnings books they can be given pictures which illustrate the Christian beliefs that Jesus death was followed by his resurrection, and that Christian death is followed by eternal life with Jesus. Video-Watch: Festivals and Celebrations (programme 4: Endings) Publ: BBC ISBN: A Christian song which expresses their belief in the resurrection is I will rise by Chris Tomlin: Teacher s note: This session deals with death, memories and new beginnings. The theme is a hopeful one: about ways in which we can keep the memory of someone who has died alive in our hearts. However teachers will need to be aware beforehand of children who have been recently bereaved and will need to consider how appropriate this session will be for them. Notes on the video Alma & Granny May: Alma was sad because so much seemed to be changing now that Granny May had died. Nothing was the same. Alma remembered things Granny May used to say and do. When Alma found the pasque flower under the tree it reminded her of Granny May and of what Granny May had said about these flowers. The flowers seemed a hopeful sign that not everything was dead and over. The pasque flower with its little head pointing straight up to the sun reminded Alma of Granny May sunbathing. The cemetery: Anne says she is putting flowers on the grave because this helps her to remember the person who has died and then she won t feel so sad. On gravestones an inscription is written forever. It helps the person to live on as people read what that person meant to them. Some people believe there is life after death (some call it heaven) in a place where there is no more pain or suffering. Many people, not necessarily religious, believe that although someone has died, they will live on in the hearts and minds of those who loved them. Y2 B2 Easter Page 6 of 11
