Within this unit, pupils will study the ‘big story’ of the Bible, explaining the place of incarnation and salvation. They will study accounts of Jesus’ death and resurrection comparing their thoughts with the different ways that Christians may interpret these texts. Pupils will spend time researching the connections between Luke 24 and the Christian concepts of sacrifice, resurrection, salvation, incarnation and hope. They will carefully consider how worship on Good Friday and Easter Sunday may vary, thinking about how Christians put their beliefs into practice in different ways. Pupils will also make links between the resurrection and forgiveness. Pupils will also learn about Christian funerals and how these link to the promise of eternal life because of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.
