Within this unit, pupils will encounter stories and texts that Year One – Learning Pathway say something about different people being unique and valuable, making links to Christian and Jewish worldviews and the belief that God loves all people. Pupils will revise their knowledge of Genesis 1 and what this account of creation tells Christians and Jews about caring for the world. Later in the unit, pupils will think carefully about different ways that Christians and Jews care for people of the world, including giving to charities, and how this action links to teachings found within the Bible and the Torah. Pupils will also take time to consider why people who are religious and non-religious should care for others and look after the natural world.
