Religion and World Views (RWV)

 

God – Hinduism

In this unit, pupils build on prior learning about God in KS1. Hinduism is a new focus for the pupils, but there are opportunities to compare and contrast with knowledge covered on Christianity and Islam at KS1.

 

How are deities and key figures described in Hindu sacred texts and stories? What might Hindus understand about the Divine through these stories? What is the purpose of visual symbols in the mandir?

 

God – Islam

In this unit, pupils build on their learning about Muslim beliefs about Allah (God) in KS1. Here, they explore different ways in which Muslims use symbols to articulate beliefs about God. There are opportunities to compare and contrast with Hindu beliefs about God.

 

What do the main concepts in Islam reveal about the nature of Allah? What is the purpose of visual symbols in a mosque?
