Reception [Unit R/c] 7 hours
This unit is about change and growth in the natural world.
- What is changing in the natural world this term?
- Which natural things appear dead but are really alive?
- What do Christians and Jews believe about the beginning of the world?
Much of the material for this unit is science based rather than RE.
Watch the clip from ‘Pathways of Belief - Easter’ video which tells the story of ‘The Waterbugs and the Dragonfly’. The book of the story is available on request or click here.
We also have copies of ‘All Year Long’ which describes the changing seasons.
We have 16 copies of ‘Circle of Days’ - a picture story book which could be used for shared looking/reading with the whole class.
Read the biblical account of Creation from ‘The Storyteller Bible’ or use ‘In the Beginning’ Big Book.
Watch BBC ‘Pathways of Belief - Creation’ video which uses words from ‘Wonderful Earth’ by Mick Inkpen. The book is also available for loan.
Watch the ‘ALF’ video for clips of children talking about their ideas on creation (available from us).
Activity Ideas

There is a wealth of natural material to explore for this unit.
