Year One Curriculum Plan To Be The Best That We Can Be Summer Term One Year 1 Class Teacher Mrs P Woodhouse Thank you for your continued support Religious Education Our RE topic this half term- The Resurrection The Resurrection-Know that we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus at Easter. Know that Jesus rose from the dead on the first Easter Sunday. The children will learn that Jesus appeared to his disciples and will think about the times when they have experienced great joy and surprise. They will learn that Jesus helped his disciples to understand that he was risen from the dead and was with them (John 21: 9- 14) and this made them very happy. They will learn that when Thomas heard that Jesus was alive he did not believe it. They will also become aware that sometimes, like Thomas, we don t understand what is happening. How to help at home: Talk to your child about the Resurrection? How do we celebrate Easter? Encourage your child to think surprises, especially when sad news turns into good news.
