In our RE lesson we firstly recapped our lesson last week on the soul. We explored different icons thinking how they could represent an idea on what makes humans special. Children explained that the brain could represent the soul as it controls peoples thoughts and some could show inner self. We then looked at our learning target which was describing what some people believe about being human through exploring personal responses. We watched a video clip to explore this further. This clip explained what different religions opinions were in response to having a soul. We unpicked these together, stopping the clip in different places. We came to the conclusion that the clip was showing that all people are special and unique.
We then looked a range of different statements that reflected on what some people believe about humans having a soul. Our main activity then allowed us to complete a soul snowflake where children had to think about how strongly they agree and disagree with a variety of statements. Children then joined all their answers together and the inside of their shape showed similarities and differences between their own and others’ snowflakes. Our debrief allowed us to think about how we can live in harmony when we have different worldviews. This was a great discussion 🙂
