Bat Mitzvah- a girl becomes Bat Mitzvah automatically at the age of 12- a woman. 5a.Watch Pathways of Belief video of a Bat Mitzvah/Bat Mitzvah or research the web for practices or invite a Jewish visitor into class to interview. Prepare a group display on Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Use internet research. 5b. Circle time on When are you grown up? Explore actions, feelings, responsibilities etc How will you know? Imagine you are a Jewish boy or girl at bar/bat Mitzvah- write about feelings and changes that will now take place in your life as a result of the ceremony. Make Bat/Bar Mitzvah cards from parents to the children. What other celebrations do we have linked to age? eg.18 th / 21 st birthday. How do we celebrate? Compare & contrast with similar religious ceremonies, e.g. confirmation. What are the differences & similarities? Allow children to explore their ideas further by allowing them to produce their own response to the question in music, art, drama, writing, mind maps, venn diagrams, etc. Cross Curricular Links Science -life processes, maths, literacy Links to Cheshire ICT Scheme of Work Units 4A, 4C, 4D Cheshire Syllabus Links Unit 2 Judaism QCA Links 2A Assessment Suggestions AT 1 & 2 Level 2-3 Describe a tallit worn by Jews during worship & explain its significance.

4 RE Medium Term Planning Matrix Key Stage 2 Year 4 Autumn Term 2 No. of Weeks 6/7 Christianity & the Arts Learning Objectives The children should learn: To recognise that expressing faith involves feelings and emotions. That in Christianity: music, drama, art, dance, architecture and expressive action are a form of expressing faith. That Christians use the arts to express something of the sacred and spiritual. That colour, shape and symbol can be used to express religious feelings and ideas. That Christians use the arts as a means of reinforcing important stories and teachings found in Christianity. To express their own faith using the arts and compare it with the faith of others. AT1 Encounter 1a. Discuss with the children the ways we express our feelings towards others using our bodies, e.g. facial expressions, body language, tone of voice, gestures, dance etc. 2a. Listen to a diverse collection of Christian music excerpts, e.g. gospel, Gregorian chants, folk, classical, etc. What is the composer trying to convey? How does the music make you feel? What type of music is it? What instruments have been used? etc. 3a. Study a range of modern and traditional artistic representations of the portrayal of Jesus life. Look at colours, symbolism, shapes, use of light etc. What is the artist trying to convey? How does the picture make you feel? Identify the beliefs of the Christian faith that are represented in the music? AT2 Response 1b. Explore the ideas using drama selecting a range of emotions. List other ways of expressing our feelings, e.g. written word, pictures, poems, etc. Mind map the different ways and add in descriptive words. 2b. Using a selection of instruments inc the PC, children choose an emotion they wish to convey and compose a piece of music, song or rap, e.g. joy. Children share music with the class and guess the emotion they are conveying. Link with religious music studied earlier. Learning Outcomes By the end of this unit: Most children will be able to: Understand in Christianity the arts provide a context for the expression of feelings and emotions. Describe how some features of Christianity are exemplified in the arts. Compare aspects of their own experiences and those of others, Some children will only be able to: Make simple links between examples of religious expression and the beliefs, ideas and feelings that underlie them. More able children will also: Compare and contrast some of the ways in which believers express their beliefs, ideas and teachings through the arts. Identify the emotions of awe, peace, joy and wonder, which can be expressed through the arts and some of the significance and symbolism of these emotions to believers. / Icons Traditional and modern pictures of the life of Jesus.

After extensive study of all forms of art and collection of their ideas on class display -produce their own piece of artwork that reflects one aspect of Jesus life or one aspect of their own faith/ beliefs. Allow children access to a variety of media in order to produce their own ideas, e.g. paint, pastels, clay, 3D modelling equipment, charcoal, inks etc. 5b. Look at shapes, colours, symbolism etc. Compare and contrast 2 very different church buildings and produce feedback for the class. How are the buildings different and similar? Why? What is the overall impression of the buildings? Are they welcoming? What is their function? Does it suit its purpose? How has the architect created the building? Did it meet the specifications of the people who meet there? Interview someone who goes there to answer some of your questions. Produce your own collage poem or report using chosen media on your findings. Christian drama scripts Video Miracle Maker Visit to local churches Dance music Chester mystery play material see website Art materials 81

6 That Christians believe in giving to the poor. 5a. Look closely at one drama script for a nativity play and comment on its form and structure. Watch an extract from The Miracle Maker as another form of drama. Similarly watch a Christian dance.

Children take turns. How did they feel? Role-play the entire story. Most children will be able to: State key beliefs about God expressed in and through a parable. Recognise how these form the basis of belief about God for a Christian. Ask appropriate questions about puzzling issues raised by the narrative. Identify experiences that could cause people to wonder and realise some questions are difficult to answer, e.g.: Does God answer all prayers? Some children will only be able to: Recall the main details of the stories studied. Explain simple ideas about God that Christians hold as seen through the stories studied. 84

9 2a. Discuss how they feel when they are left out of a game? How do they respond? How did the tax collector in the parable feel? Who is the outsider in this story? How did the Pharisee feel at the end of the story? Who is like the Pharisee in today s society? 3a.Using the children & props, (bread, bed, etc) tell the story of the parable of the friend at midnight (Luke 11:5-12). 4a. Similarly using the children or puppets, explore the parable of the unjust judge & persistent widow, (Luke 18:3-7). 2b. What questions would the children ask God about this story if they could?

11 RE Medium Term Planning Matrix Key Stage 2 Year 4 Spring Term 2 No. of Weeks 6 Christianity Caring for Creation Learning Objectives The children should learn: About what the Jewish Torah (Hebrew Bible) and the Christian Bible says about creation. That there are key beliefs shared by Jews and Christians. That Jews and Christians believe they have a relationship with God and responsibility for the rest of creation. AT1 Encounter 1a. Use a model Torah scroll to remind children of the form in which the Jewish scriptures are to be found in the synagogue and talk about the contents of the scroll. Use a Christian Bible to demonstrate that the Genesis narratives are also to be found there. Recap on the story of creation studied previously in depth in Yr 1. AT2 Response 1b.Listen to music that depicts the parts of creation e.g. Holst Planets, Handel s Water Music, Hayden s Creation oratorio etc. What beliefs does the story teach about God? Children write an acrostic poem using word 'creation' which sums up Jewish & Christian belief about creation. Learning Outcomes By the end of this unit: Most children will be able to: State key Jewish & Christian beliefs about creation. Ask appropriate questions about puzzling issues raised by the narrative. Identify experiences that could cause people to wonder and realise some questions are difficult to answer, e.g.: 'How was the world made?' 'Why are we here?' / See 'The Bible through Art' - Margaret Cooling - RMEP. See examples on the internet Holsts The Planets, Handel s Water Music Bible That there are many different theories of creation. That some Christian people think that conflict exists between scientific evidence and religious belief, and that for others there is no such conflict. To ask puzzling questions of life and recognise that they are different from the questions that seek information or opinion. 2a.Read Psalm 8, which is a poem also expressing beliefs about creation and also shared by Christians and Jews. Talk about belief in God and enable children to express their own views. 2b.Card activity- sort a range of questions (some factual to which children will know the answer, some to which they could find an answer, some questions that are a matter of opinion and some ultimate questions to which there are no answers), to be categorised. Some of the questions will be those about which the Genesis narrative seeks to give an answer. Children discuss the ultimate questions & attempt their own answers & questions. Some children will only be able to: Recognise how many Christians & Jews believe God made the world. Retell the creation story (Genesis 1 and 2) briefly. Begin to understand the idea of stewardship. Genesis Adam Eve Creation Created Heaven 87
