Aim

R.E, Literacy & ICT Links
Bible in Literacy Lessons provides pupils with an overview of the Bible, both Old & New Testaments. The chosen pieces of text from the storyline of the Bible will be utilised for various activities relating to literacy work. The lessons are designed as a fun tool for grammatical awareness, sentence construction and punctuation, using extracts from the ‘Lion First Bible’ as the literacy texts. The use of interactive CD-ROM provides the ICT links using Smart Note Book Software.

Objective

R.E Link: Christian perspectives and beliefs.
The chosen text cards give an overview of the Biblical content reflecting on:

God as Creator
How God deals with His people
His commandments
His love for His people
Jesus as a special baby and Promised King
Teachings of Jesus
New Heaven and New Earth

The lessons allow scope for discussion on the above subjects in a fun, fast moving, interactive way. The explicit teaching of the R.E content flows into implicit teaching through both the chosen text and the links on the CD-ROM.
