    Teaching RE at KS1

    Collapse all Expand all

    At KS1, children are required to study aspects of what it means to live life in the Christian traditions, along with a depth study of a second religion. If the depth study in addition to Christianity is selected from another Abrahamic tradition, an overview study should be designed to include a Dharmic tradition. If there are children from other traditions in the class, the teacher can also include these in an overview study at KS1 as well as study of non-religious perspectives. There are two recommended exemplar long-term plans for KS1 in Living Difference IV; to view, click https://re.hias.hants.gov.uk/ and go to pages 46-47.

    In this section you will find KS1 plans and supporting resources for units of work usually explored in the first half of the Spring term.
