PowerPoint Introduction This PowerPoint sample lesson is intended as a resource for schools to be used ‘how and when’ they choose. This Year 2 lesson is planned to be set in the context of developing the theme of ‘Belonging to the church community’. It can be used selectively as part of ongoing work in Religious Education based on the theme of the church or as part of a theme in another area of the curriculum, eg Geography: ‘The Local Community.’ There are notes on each slide for teachers’ reference. Schools may prefer to edit the slides and use photographs from their own local church and school community. The following slide gives the context of the lesson in the bigger picture. Schools may like to explore other questions in different year groups within the theme of ‘Church Community.’ A PowerPoint Key Stage 2 sample lesson also based on the theme of the church can be found on the Chester Diocesan website. Teachers may also find it helpful to refer to the Chester Diocesan document: 'How do I teach Christianity In my church school?’ (See pages 19-20).
